In my humble opinion

Hello

It looks out of focus (I know it isn't), and is difficult to read.

The box's have a pale blue border that confuse's my eyes (on my monitor settings 1280 X 1024 19" LCD) they look hazy.

The pale border, the background image at the top and bottom of each box and white text on the pale blue box, surrounded by darker box's all on a expansive white background (My settings again) is a little hard on my old eyes.

and to add insult to injury your header needs rounded corners as well.

all of course in my humble opinion, which may be a load of BS

Thanks for the advice. I never realized all this before and you’re absolutely right about the blurriness. Now that you mention it I seem to have issues reading the information as well. Regarding the banner you picked that out pretty good. I must agree it should have been round edges. Thanks for the feedback friend

~bump~ no one else?

When I look at it, I just don't know where to start reading. It's like there's a load of people talking to you all at once and you can't understand any of it. When I look at a site, it normally seems fairly obvious where to start reading and it all kind of naturally leads onto the next bit. I think you need to work on the layout of your information and how you're using your graphics.

 

[bbrian017]

Thanks for the advice friend. I'm really new at html and editing templates and this is probably why you’re seeing a "lack" of order on my site. I will take your comment into consideration and try and make it a little easier to read and view.

Looks pretty neat, yet you're delivering a lot of "sales pitch" and not enough background info that would help me determine what my next step would be.

For forum references, i'd check on forummatrix.org, it will help you by pointing out some of the features that can assist you. I'd be using a sales pitch as well, but i'd let the forums and direction of the user wants to go do the major lifting.

Great idea with the side bar - to try the sites, although instead of the current pics, i'd use screenshots of the software you're actually referring to.

Overall, nicely arranged, the copy writing should be looked over again, though.

 

[bbrian017]

Could you expand a little bit on the copywriting, I'm not sure what you mean. Thanks for the advice and the screen shout idea is GREAT I’m no good with images and that’s the main reason I haven’t done the software screenshot!

Looks ok. You could do with a nice logo at the top though. Other than that it's fine.

I took your hidden advice when it came to the images and wow what a difference. When you get a chance take a look and see if you like the images gone. I liked your idea tried it and it looks good. Thanks for that. I also took the image links and moved them to align with the topic title and not the bottom separating line, I think you will like that too. When I made these to changes it made each topic appear to be in a box format, looks way better, IMO

I think its got a great colour scheme tbh, but I think possibly people might not know what it is you offer straight away when they load the page. Perhaps it might be an idea to move the boxes on teh side somewhere on the main page so that they are easily viewable. Its only an idea, because its very good atm anyway.
Regards

bbrian017,
Nice layout! I think that you have a great site and it looks like a winner. Keep up the good work and congratulations on the site. Also welcome to the NP community.

 

[archer7]

Wow...

Looking much better now that top box is more prominent. Much easier to read.

 

[bbrian017]

Thanks guys and gals. I'm still working hard to make the site as interactive as possible. I know that I'm still all over the place with detail and information but as soon as I get enough content I will be able to move thing to their own "tab" and make it a lot more organized. At the moment I just don't have enough information to create these new "tabs". But as time passes and days go by I’m always adding new and fresh information either it be demos for software scripts, or new cool pc applications. Overall I’m just working hard to find where I would like to go from here and where I would like to be in the future.

I would like to thank Lenton for the awesome banner as well, Thanks bro

Your website looks good , but i dont think people like open every link in new window..

Think about it ..

 

[bbrian017]

I did this only when a user leaves my site. I don't want any links I have to take or make users leave the site. All the domo's are not opened in other links but when you wanna go to the site for the download you will have to open new link. This is done so people can STAY at my site which is what I want.

 

[bbrian017]

I made some changed and added some ads. Could you tell me if it's too much or just right?

Thanks for all the help 2 date cheers for that
