Need comments on these

**Craf** · 02-03-2002, 03:48 AM

I need some comments on the layout since I know its really bad on this site:

http://crafhq.topcities.com/enter.html

it will serve as my new homepage from this: htp://www.angelfire.com/ego/crafhq

and will be redirecting it through www.cjb.net
I used Flash 5 on it and I'd say its 40% complete or maybe less.

I appreciate all the comments from you all!

Hey Craf,
I think it looks pretty good.

On the entrance page, since there is nothing else there, I would maybe make the Enter Here pic a little larger and maybe put one on two lines of text below it describing what you site is about.

The index page is a little to dark IMO. I might make the blue text a shade lighter and the write navigation text a little whiter or maybe bold...

The text is a little small, but not a big deal...

Overall, the site looks very nice!

Thanks FWT-Tim!

Well it just shows that Im not that good in designing webpages. But anyway, I'll try to do better. I always wanted to make it that dark but I guess it wouldnt do any good if it only satisfies me right? about the small texts, I was actually conserving space coz I will be adding other things to the page.. its not yet finished as I mentioned.

Hi Craf,

I might not be an expert, but I do have an opinion, lol. I like the overall look of the site. I'm one of those ones that like the dark stuff. I think bolding is about the only way to get white text to show up well on dark backgrounds and you could use another color (yellow?) to emphasize words.

I made a couple of sites using a lot of Java and Flash. One owner didn't like because his ISP didn't support either to the extent that a lot of the site was not functional. There are some people that suggest not to use Java and Flash. They say that the majority of people today are still using PC's or ISP's that don't support it.

Personally, I love it. I guess that means I have a decent PC and ISP.

By the way, were you one of the clowns? Hehe!

Hi Craf,

I was out visiting again. This is another IMO

, and it's an opinion from a guy that doesn't like pop-ups. I know that pop-ups are around to stay and I have used them. I would remove the pop-ups from your forum. A forum gets lots of clicks going on, moving from post to post, and pop-ups can be a big distraction and annoyance. They will also slow down your load times.

This is from a guy, me, that uses "pane" killers, hehe.

Hey Craf, everyone has to take care of business, whether personal or whatever like home life, exams, and the list goes on. I'm glad to see you're still around.

When you do more on your site, make sure you lets know so we can give you some more IMO's!!
