It looks kinda good but it takes so long for the site to load..

[Jamison54]

Um, it takes like 2 seconds to load... It might of been my web-host had a little downtime at that moment.
And thanks for taking a look at it

 

[StudioWorks]

sorry i have to say that your site needs work ...the grafix page doesnt even render properly (in firefox at least)
youre 15 so you have plenty of time, if you keep going at this rate youll blow us away with your designs in no time

well i do like the light grey box in the dark grey background..its very stylish
i think your headers and your grafix need work before you can make money
i recommend offering your grafix for free at first and when you get some takers then you can put links on your site to the sites that are using your grafix

also your graphix look like they are made for print rather than the web
here are some examples, not to my taste, of web grafix

youre clearly pretty computer savvy so i think you need to think outside the box...do something a little different, take a look around you
choose the things that please you in your life
if you like soccer...try some soccer themes
if you like animation..try give it an animation look
that type of thing

when you make something that you really like, dont stop there
say to yourself..how can i make it better?
and dont be afraid to start again from the beginning

good luck

Well, if you guys haven't seen my new website layout, take a look at it.

I now only accept PayPal, no more GZ. Since more people use PayPal, I'm hoping I'll get more customers. Maybe someone here from NamePros would be happy to be a customer .

 

[deadhippo]

youve really improved the layout
but i agree, centred would be better for your design
also you need to get rid of those blue underlined links
make your headings stand out more and pad the text some more to move it away from the edges
also if you want to sell grafix which is pretty tough youought to use many grafix on you page to show their effectiveness.

good luck

Okay, I've centered the layout and added 7 pixels of padding. I might also make a new banner later.

Hey i think, its ok except for the graphics and banners, they need a bit of work. Try using photoshop or flash more for your graphics, and the navigation is too simple try using something a little bit more eye catching.

IMO, it looks fairly unprofessional. There's not much design, more codinging. I'm not liking the color sceam and the fonts used aren't good. The banner is also very disturbing. Add more graphical effets and some better colros and you'll be getting somwhere. It also needs a more professional look.

Needs alot of work! .. :notme:

Best of luck! :wave:

 

[Jamison54]

Thanks for the replys peoples! I'll try my best to get some things looking' better.

Yo deadhippo - awesome feedback.

I have to say I hate it.
Sorry but Gray is not the colour to use. The banner looks like a two second job that even I could do and I am crap at design. Why doesn't anything line up?? The banner and the content doesn't line up in firefox.

 

[mcfry]

GJ - why the hostility? The guy's obviously a beginner, and aparently you are too, so shouldn't you know first hand how it feels to hear "i hate it" about one of your first designs? Come on, dude, grow up. That's really in poor taste.
