My First Site

**mick757575** · 2nd November 2002

This is my first time at a site, while it looks ok to me, it is very simple but the further you delve into the site it gets all over the place. Constructive critism and pointers please.

ok, number 1.. i dont have a ****ing clue in hell wtf ur site is about... there is no proper front page with sommat to tell me what its about or what it is....

ur design is crap, fooked if i know what screen res ur running but im running 1024x768 and i had to put explorer on fullscreen just to get all of those lines of text to be on one line as im sure u intended them to viewed, because other wise they were all over the place whaich made everything look incredibly mixed up..

3.. dont open up all those links on seperate explorer windows, i hate sites that do that cos it means i end up with about 40 IE windows open when i only want one

i cant emphasise my first point enough, noone stays on site that they dont understand.. someones gonna look at it and go... what the hell is this pish.. then leave

after looking through it, im sure ur trying to sell somekind of bootleg cds or posters or sommat, im still not entirely sure...

if u were trying to advertise ur site here then id just close this, but since no-one would willingly advertise this shite, im gonna leave it.. plus i dont understand how anyone is meant to buy anything off u anyhow... if that is what the site is for??

mick,

1. Again same as marcode didnt have the foggiest what its about!
2. Try using tables to better control your layout instead of a million:

PHP Code:


&nbsp;

If you dont know how to use tables try .here
3.Get rid of the links turning bold with "rollover" it pushes everything and makes it look messy

Same as above you need to introduce your site on the index page so that people know what they are entering for one.

for two: the text is way too big you need to make it a bit smaller and if possible create buttons or something instead of plain links.

for three: design needs to be thought about properly- if this is the best you can do then get someone else to do it. there are many sites that do it for a cheap price. If you need any more info PM me.

cheers for the stick fellas, I take all your points, as I said it's my first stab. I guess I could be having another pretty soon.
I suppose you wouldnt know what it's about unless you were into bootleg concerts and you wouldnt be there otherwise, so I guess that is why there isnt much info. They are not for sale, they are for trading only, but I'll put some info on.
Most of the links are to another site and I didnt want people pressing there back button all the time, so how would I go about that.
