Thread: Please take a quick look...

Hi there everyone...

Come on over and take a quick peek at my very first site. It's very basic, but as I learn to do more I will enhance it. Any suggestions?

Hello Skye,

Very nice site, definitely etheral! I like the look a lot. You did a good job.

You might want to look at your page sizes, had to do a lot of scrolling.

Best of luck with it.

Hi Skye,
I agree with Vicki, your pages are too big, you can reduce the text size and reduce the space between one text and the other, the menu bar may be is better at the top of the page.
The best size page is less then 800, also remenber to check in the page propertiers " center in the browser "

Site looks very well. I think the navigation bars should be visable when you open the page i.e. at the top or at the side

Yes you need to reduce the size of the pages to around 800 and also make your navigation buttons easy to see and find.

Good effort for your first attempt, found certain bits hard to read, but on the whole good job.

Skye this is a lovely site. Your choice of colors is wonderful. It is really pretty, and I think just perfect for your product.

Here are some thoughts.

The width of your pages is unnecessary. YOu don't have so much 'stuff' that you are straining to fit it all on there, so why not just take your page sizes down to 800 width and center them, and there you go.
Especially with your color choices matching the page background, it will be seamless, look just as good and won't make people like me nuts having to side scroll to see if we missed anything.

I can't tell if your first couple of pages aren't centered, so everything is sort of sitting over to the right, or if that is just because of the page width. I think they're not centered. So make sure the little centering box in your page properties is ticked, and that will handle that.

I am not sure about this next thing, but here it is anyway. For me, I like to have the navigation bars at the top or side. When they are at the bottom I always feel like I have to hunt, and as an internet browsing person, I don't want to have to go hunting once I have found a site I like.
This is personal preference, though, and I don't know how much validity it has for the general browsing public.

That's all. Great job, lovely site.
Well Done.
Good Luck.

hehe it looks like you had a lot of fun building this site. I agree with those above. A little cleaner design will go a long way.

Nice looking site. I have a dumb question. Did you do it from BlueVoda? I'm new to this site but looking to try and transfer my own web page to this host. I think I'm going to have problems because after visiting the bluevoda forum I discovered that my site is not registered to me. Isn't it kind of sticky trying to get your domain from the present host? The reason I'm transferring is because I am not getting good service.

Thank you.
