Hi, I just started my web site.. http://silverstars.jt7.net and I really need suggestions, feedback and honest opinions about the site!

Thanks!

Looks good but I think you need to improve on the layout of site which will help to grab visitor's attention. Not to be rude but right now it is very basic which doesn't look too "good"

Just my 2 cents...

Well... I would have liked to add some of my artwork but I don't have a site up that i can link to. You said that getting email attachments are annoying so I didn't. you should have a form for submitting photos that you could review for submission.

A simple php upload script would work.

I have one if you would like to use it.

As for the Design/layout I wasn't sure what the site was about at first. Thats not good. The flame logo does little to convey the site content. Also black backgrounds are so annoying..

Ahhh, sorry, I should remove the "annoying" part..
You could just use ImageShack or Photobucket to link to your art work...

And you COULD attach pictures, just not paste them, you may if you want, considering I'm in real need for writings and Art..
And sure, I would like to use the Php upload script

A bit simple, but you should really get a domain...

Yes, I know..
the domain I really want is silver-stars.net which is not taken. But my parents don't trust the internet.. so I can't.
EDIT: I do have the money, my parents just don't wanna pay....

Here is that php upload script



<?php

/////////////////////////////////////////////
// Variables to change //
/////////////////////////////////////////////

$thePassword = "passwordhere"; //YOUR PASSWORD
$uploadpath = "path/to/uploadto/"; //PATH TO UPLOAD FILES TO (EG C:\windows\ OR /usr/home/mydomain/htdocs/)

/////////////////////////////////////////////
// Do not edit beyond here //
/////////////////////////////////////////////

$password = $_POST['password'];

if (!$password) {
echo "<form method='post' action='$PHP_SELF'>PASSWORD: <input type='password' name='password' size='25'><input type='submit'></form>";
} else {
if ($password == $thePassword) {

if ($_POST['yes'] == "1") {
$source = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];
$dest = $uploadpath.$_FILES['file']['name'];
move_uploaded_file($source, $dest);
echo "<b>File should now be uploaded</b><br><br>";
}
echo "<p>File can be no larger than ";
echo ( ini_get( upload_max_filesize ) );
echo "<form action='" . $PHP_SELF . "' method='post' enctype='multipart/form-data'><input type='hidden' name='yes' value='1'><input type='hidden' name='password' value='" . $password . "'>File to upload: <input type='file' name='file'><br><br><input type='submit'></form><br><a href=images/'" . $_POST['yes'] . "'>view the pic<a/>" ;
} else {
echo "Incorrect password. <form method='post' action='" . $PHP_SELF . "'>PASSWORD: <input type='password' size='25'><input type='submit'></form>";
}
}
?>

Ahhh, thank you

Looks simple enough but it's a little dark for me.


All the best,

[unknowngiver]

way 2 simple...u need a better layout

 

[DJ_Guvana]

Pretty Good, a bit more work needed but its on the right track

 

[cablejobs]

I disagree with some of the comments I think the color is fine for a goth site I would get rid of the blue in the areas that you have it and stick with the black and red. :blink:

 

[PoorDoggie]

its ok, but you should carry the border you have round the logo/header down the page, to make it tie in better!

 

[bhyraj]

simple but best site. need some change colour.

 

[Petter]

Simple, not to good with the graphical job, very typical layout, but nice colors..

 

[Aven]

yeah, cause I know 100% about HTML.

I just want a nice simple layout. My goal really isn't to make people go "OH MY GOD, THIS IS WONDERFUL"
A nice simple layout is good enough, I WILL be working on some changes on the site, but I like that simple layout. Besides, if I get an "excellent" layout. Most people would just try and copy my source... it really doesn't matter

Anyway, what just made my site getting better is that now I have a domain
http://silver-stars.net And I pay for web hosting now :D

Don't worry guys, I JUST started web designing this month and most say I'm good for a beginer, I also will be teaching myself some more PHP during this week, cause I found lots of nice advantages.

Thanks for your feedback! I will be working on the site

Well, I am not too keen on the graphics, font or colours, but of its type the content seems solid. Perhaps learn more about the graphics tools a little and you could make nicer logo. The "Intro" image etc i find annoying and hard to read.

HTH, sorry if it seems harsh.

Best of luck
