PLEASE DO NOT click any of the pictures
no bandwidth :(

Be brutal. I personally hate the way the content looks, but I like my bar and navigation at the top. I am messing around with some different content layouts as you can see on the 'about' page. well, one other layout.

I really havn't spent much time on the layout because I have way too much fun writing the code. I wrote the counter script there and im very proud of it :). I'm also proud of the resizing script. You can stretch out the page to whatever you want and it will fit together perfect no matter where it is (In IE, at least :/). Even the top bar with the grid doesn't get dissaligned.

I'm open to all ideas and I want to get lots of opinions on how to fix it up. One thing I was thinking of was to make the main banner a really thick picture because It really adds that designy feel to webpages, I think.

Also, don't go to the icksfilm mirror because that is hosted on the same site with no bandwidth. icksfilm.com is down cause he stopped paying for it!

Thanks for the input!

Well... :hi:

1. I find the color a little upsetting. :lol: Okay, not really "upsetting" but I'm not keen on that green. D-:

2. It's confusing (to the eye) having two different colored text... some is black and some is white.

I'd go with a standard white or off white background and that green for highlight. I just think there's a too much of it.

Hope this is helpful. :)

yeah thanks for the input guys.

you can't scroll on it because theres not enough content, lol. go to the art page, theres a scrollbar.

it is very green, yes. I've gotten that response before. Ok, change colors is what i got so far.

any ideas on how to make the main content pages look less stupid?

It seems like some of the layout images are cut wrong and don't match up, so you might want to look into that. (top left, mostly)

I don't think it looks stupid. :) Why do you think it's stupid??

It's hard to judge with so little content.

Agreed.

1) Colors = bad. Or at least kill one of the two greens used and replace the other with a non-green complement.

2) Courier font = hard to ready. Use Arial text for body content.

3) Frames = suck. I don't like frames. Use tables and let everything scroll on the master page.

Everything should line up fine in IE. wow, 10 out of the 17 people that viewed the page used something other than IE. As far as I know, it will only work in IE. At least, I know it doesn't work in FireFox. You should get a warning message about that at the top of the page if you arent using IE. Is that working?

Well, thanks. The only thing i think is stupid is the way the content pages dont really flow with the top banner thing.

Can you explain to me how the frame in my webpage is hurting it? Personally, I would rather not scroll all the way back up to go to a different page.

Yeah, I guess some people might not like that. What if I had the POTW and stuff on the left side, then the scroll bar would be all the way to the right and most people wouldnt even notice it being in a frame.


Thanks for your comments everyone. What does anyone think about having the top graphic kinda bend down into a side bar instead of having the side bar be text based?

That site is not bad, it could do with some work though. I would suggest downloading a program such as Frontpage (or Dreamweaver) for the layout, they're both an easy to use graphical-view editor and the templates could be of some help to you :)

Or, if you are serious about your site invest in a web designer

Its alright. I dont like the fonts and the green and grey. Takes a long time to load.
You mean the grey scrollbar? It takes a long time to load because of my horrible bandwidth right now, it really doesn't have that much to load.

Ouch :blink: . lol, the site is supposed to be a freelance web design site.


Here is a new design I threw together. Does it look better or worse?

I agree with IdahoFarmer.

Hey,

Well.. you got more work to do until you can call this web site a "decent looking" one.

The navigation is a little hard to read.. you use frames and that's bad.. why should I scroll down to see the info on the frame page? You could have made it larger at least.

Thanks for the input guys.

I still don't understand what's so horrible about frames. Care to explain? Would it look better if those box things weren't on the right side?

Also, I'd like to know if this newer design looks any better than the old one.

I don't like any of the designs, they are too random for my liking.

Well, crap! I'm no good at this.

Is there any money in selling code? I guess that's all I can do.
