How 'catchy' is my site?
- Thread starter Barrucadu
- Start date
The views expressed on this page by users and staff are their own, not those of NamePros.
Okay a few problems. I'll list them down
-Too dark. There should be contrasts between pics and words
-The link colours are bad. They are hard on the eyes
-There are not sub-nav bar text?
-There are no labels as to the main content
-The BG is plain
-There could be grads on the side instead of bars of similar to the BG
-The font's VERY rough (comic and Times New Roman? I mean.. come on)
-The title's: very hard to read, too dark
-What's with the silver thing on the right of the logo/title?
Theree are more... hopefully you don't mind my pickyness, I'm just trying to help
Good Luck

First off I am thinking slow load. Second off I am thinking this is a site done by someone who knows more about web design then a goecities user but less than a good designer. The site hurts my eyes and the banner is pretty boring too. The text is off and I would definately not join.

ok,
1) how much lighter should it be?
2) what link colour would be better? (hex please)
3) what is sub-nav bar text?
4) ?
9) what silver thing?
EDIT: oh THAT silver thing, its a strange photoshop error caused by the inner bevel effect, i'll try to fix it

Well...The links are hard on the eyes...I'm thinking a sort of light gray color with no underline.
I don't think the font really matches the rest of the layout. Maybe go with a sharper font.
Though I do like skin...it's quite interesting, but think about changing it to blue and white as those are probably the most versatile colors on the web.

the site is pretty slow, and the template makes me think its a free template... just because it has a free template theme to it...

the easiest way to do that is in the <head></head> (assuming this is in html):
Code:
<style type="text/css">
a {
text-decoration: none;
}
</style>you can also consider making it bold or italic...
to do that:
bold:
Under "text-decoration:none;"
add "font-weight: bold;"
italic:
replace "text-decoration: none;"
with "text-decoration: italic;"

Well it should be at least much easier on the eyes
Links should be something contrasting to the Background, such as yellow
It's the text on the silver thinggy which you just understood
4: on the top of the main contents box it bugs me not writing a title to it
9: you get it now
Great job, I hope you'll make great improvements to it
Good luck!

I agree to the free template part
Because it is like a template that does not fit its use, like an all-purpose template. It can be made more unique...
That's right! Web-developing is hard work! That's why you make sure your first page is flawless before you continue with your 2nd page.
For the unique part, you can START by making some nice graphics or pictures about your topic? (Especially for the logo)

Change the blue links to either white or black, the standard blue suggests you don't know what you're doing (at least that's what I always think when I see blue links out of theme).
<center> the menu links & adwords
The title logo's colour doesn't blend well into the silver.
You don't seem to have a "front page" or introduction or anything, it's helpful for surfers and search engines that try to figure what you're site's about, and how relevant your keywords are to content.

Heres my honest opinion:
First, slow loading, unless I knew I wanted to visit this site already I would exit before it loads.
Second I would think I'm going color blind and possibly leave the site to make sure I'm not.
Third if I'm still at the site, I would see that this site has nothing unique about it since it seems like every other game & humor site and then leave.
Fourth if the above weren't true, I'd get a headache fast by reading white text on dark background and would leave instantly.
user friendly is essential, its the first step, next is making your site completely differnt from anyone elses to gain popularity.
