Not totally finished but the layout etc is all done. Just gotta finish some of the other pages and get the info in...

Let us know what you reckon.

By the way, first attempt at making a whole website so keep that under consideration :P

WOW, nice site for a first attempt, definitely better than mine! I would recommend that you make your site a bit whiter, as opposed to dark, because it is a lot easier on the eyes if it is white. Black makes it look very morbid and very discouraging. Nevertheless, great site! (btw, at the top of "http://www.farkin.ugtech.net/hello/viewer/", it shows background-color: #181818; bgcolor="#181818". I recommend you get rid of that as soon as possible!)

Well i'll give a lighter blue a shot. The background is not black btw, it's dark blue. You say you can see the code for the background color?

I can't see this....

Also, thanks very much for the feedback

EDIT: Never mind, found it and got rid of it

 

[aznchong91]

you're welcome, good luck!

 

[vasam]

nevertheless this is new layout... good start!

 

[obenix]

Wow! It's beautiful. I like the color scheme/combination and the overall design...

Great work!

 

[GladiatoR]

Well i'm wanting to start web designing. Do you think people will want my work with a site like this?

Kind regards Joe.

 

[obenix]

Definitely, Joe.
Frankly, I like it. It's great for portfolios (e.g. web design, photography, modeling, etc)

 

[GladiatoR]

:D I'm really stoked that you guys like it. This site will give me a big boost in wanting to achieve bigger and better things.

Thanks heaps ;D

 

[obenix]

You're most welcomed. Just make sure that you post your next design for review.
You have talent.. grow it..

 

[GladiatoR]

I've just got one more question. Is it possible to make it so theres not as many images? Currently theres too many not needed images which is hogging bandwith and this site could be a 56k friendly site without all the images. Is there a way to do this in Dreamweaver?

Kind regards Joe.

 

[GladiatoR]

Well i've redone the website a little bit so it's more user friendly on the images.

Only problem is that it looks like utter shit in Internet Explorer compared to Firefox.

Is there an easy fix to this?

Kind regards Joe.

 

[GladiatoR]

Well i've changed the site around a little, let us know what you think.

My only recommendation is that you change the font to something like 8pt Verdana. That is all you need to do I'd say.

 

[GladiatoR]

And why is this? I quite like the font i'm using now. Only problem with it though is you have to download it and not a lot of people have it as there font so it does not show up which is the reason i made the heading a picture.

 

[aznchong91]

I think you should make your fonts more consistent, some words are slim, some are FAT, and some are bold, etc... Nice job on the new colors, it's really good!

 

[obenix]

Wow! It's better compared to the earlier version.
Maybe you want to try changing the horizontal colors to yellow?

Verdana font is pretty standard and very safe to use on the web. You got to be consistent for your site.

Other than that, I hope you are considering going .com/net/org instead of .tk

Yes, I will be definately going to a .com, .net, .org once i've finished designing the site. This is only temporary. I changed the fonts to Verdana (excluding banner) so let us know what you think.

Positive: Amazing layout for your first attempt. The coloring is awesome. I also love the logo.

Negative: Get rid of the word productions under flipside. Maybe you should make productions on the header? If not just get rid of it. It takes away from the site because it doesn't match the colors or the theme. I would also agree that your text has to be much more consistent. Some is big, some is small, some bold, and some not. Other than that add some more content. Also your pictures load slow, even on fast connections. Maybe try to save them as a different file type. I am talking about the ones on the bike preview. The main site loads easy.
