Please Review: TopPixels.com - Topsite for Pixel-Based Advertising Sites

[RegFee]

Here's what I believe needs some work:

• Logo
• Some more color
• Better color up and down arrows
• More FAQ's
• Rules need to be spaced out
• Text only version
• advertising

As far as the text only version goes, that won't be too hard, but I'll have to duplicate the template I have now and I want to make sure it's perfect before I start having to modify two different templates.

I thought this was going to be a unique idea, but I recently found one topsite and one directory listing these types of sites. The other topsite didn't use my cool alexa preview and it was full of huge banners. The directory was much cleaner, but wasn't a topsite. I think I can make this happen, so please critique the heck out of it so I can make it look nice.

If you have a second, a couple of signups and tests would be nice.

Thank you for your time,
Jorge

The main area is nice but the background and color scheme hurt my eyes quite a bit. I would also have a text area describing exactly what it does.

I wanted a background image that looked like the mdhp sites. I'll try toning it down a little, so it's a little more subtle.

As far as the color scheme, it's just white with black text...how does that hurt your eyes (I'm not being defensive, I'm just wonderin )

I have a description of the site in the FAQ...maybe I should change the menu to say About/Rules ?

Thanks for your comments.

Update: BG image fixed. Didn't realize on the pixel level it had some different colors that were making it look blurry. Looks better now imo.

I think the layout goes good with the name. However, the indigo/blue/green on the top sort of sticks out.

thanks,

I was trying to add a splash of color to an otherwise drab page. Any sugestions on a color that will do the trick but not "stick out"?

I like that you have come up with something to do with all of these "knock offs" Good idea. You are right the page does need color. It looks pretty boring. The least you could do would be to change the font for the logo to be a little more flashy. I would also change the background to maybe something with color and texture to it. That would help a lot with the lack of color and the plain view of the site.

Will be great when all done!! Again good idea!!

I like the idea, great work!

It looks ok, I dont like the greenish color though.

ok...I'm thinking of changing the template altogether, since I'm having trouble with the aqua menu bar...go to the style selector menu at the bottom and select "Classic". It has some table problems now because of the alexa preview needing another column and not yet having one, but do you like those colors? I think they look more "moneyish". I would replace that weird logo of course.

edit:
ok, nm. I decided just to go with a black bar on top, and a black/grey theme throughout. The aqua was just too much. I'm going to try the whole "content is better than color" way of web design, and just focus on getting all of the sites to link to me.

Thanks for all of your help, expect a "NP$ incentive for comments" in the near future!

ok, I changed a couple of small things (like large thumbnails on the site details pages.

I also added adsense into the toplist last night and if things keep going like they did today, the regfee will be paid for by tomorrow.

The problem I have to come through now is getting the adsense background to turn white on page 2,3,4,etc of the results.

I also need to make the menu bar more compatible with browsers other than ff

It's to plain, needs some color and a better logo, nice idea though just to drab.

 

[RegFee]

Thanks for the comment troubled. I'm trying not to take any attention away from my member's sites, especially their thumbnails. Aren't they the first thing you look at?

 

[lilgee]

To me, color looks ok. It looks good though.

 

[Momo]

Looks nice, the background fits the theme, and the colors used were nice.

 

[ammo]

i dont like the colours, and ewww repeated background, needs alot of work imo!

 

[RegFee]

I am thinking about adding a bunch more categories, breaking it down a little more than under or over $25. What do you think? 1 cent...5 cent..10 cent..25 cent..63 cents..?
