Thread: How does my site look

Please critique my site: www.TannersSermons.com
What improvements can I make?
Thanks

Hi there,

- I would make the writing smaller.
- You also should centre the pages and set the width: 900 max and length: 600. This will avoid people having to scroll sideways.
- The sermons and the articles pages are not opening.

Good luck!

Thank you so much for your input, I will see what I can do. I have had great difficulty making the site compatible to both IE7 and FireFox. I don't know why but all the pages on the site work fine in IE7, but only the index works in FireFox.

Yes, I was using FireFox. That's why I couldn't see them.

Cheers,

Hi Tanner,

Off to a good start. I'm sure you are going to add more content to your home page with time, but consider reducing the width even though it's visible in IE. Consider swopping your search tool (bottom of the page with your add to favourites) as I usually search...then read...then add to favourites. Consider adding your nav bars to the bottom of your pages particularly the long sermons and articles pages as it allows visitors to read down and navigate without having to scroll back to top.

Regards,

Thanks so much for your advice, I appreciate it. I'll make those changes.

I like what you've done so far. The size is fine and so is the font, for me anyway. couldn't access the video. I would make the scroll bar color more muted so as not to be a distraction, maybe blend into the page colors. You'll do fine , I think.............

Tanner,

Here my "gut reaction" to your site. WE NEED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT TANNER CAMPBELL!! Your sermons and articles should be links that people can go to for inspiration, healing and spirituality. So what is going to make them want to read these sermons and artilces?? YOU!!

In a nutshell, your home page should be about YOU! where are you from? what's your personal story? If you want to lead people to the Word of God, they need to know more about YOU!

I look forward to hearing your story!!

Daniel-

Also I would put some validations in the input boxes of your guest book or you'll be recieving incomplete information or blank entries.
