I dont like the entrance page. The video on the music page is not centered in Firefox. A link on the news page the underline is not right in Firefox. The text on the Bio pages needs breaking up into managable chuck cos as it is it is very hard to read. Signup page carnt be found by using the link given. rhsunderground 01-29-2006, 04:19 PM moved to website reviews forum. KDLA 01-30-2006, 02:01 PM Hmmmm... interesting coding..... you definitely need to fix some errors: http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http://joedevita.com/index1.html. I'm surprised, with a lack of <html>, <head>, and <body> tags that your page displays at all. You're a very lucky web designer. Once you fix the coding errors, you also need to put in some metatags/metadata. Here's what you currently have: <title> n</title> So, according to your metadata, your page is called "n." KDLA Ness_du_Frat 01-30-2006, 03:29 PM Ok, so... hmmm... - First, your splash page : a splash page is something that should trigger the attention of some random visitor, who most of the time doesn't give a damn about your webpage (unless it's a friend of you, of course, but we all want new people to our websites sometimes, don't we ?). Your current splash page kept me frozen in my seat for about 5 seconds. At first, I saw only the text, with the big "ENTER". I thought, Waaaaooo, that's what we call simple and retro, like the web when it first became public. Why not ? Then, my high-speed DSL connection finally loaded the pictures, and my reaction was more like : OMG, somebody got crazy with photoshop filters, here... So, first impression, not so positive... - the webpage : speaking only of the design and graphics, it's ok. Simple, not flashy, nice to look at. It could be improved, of course, but it's like million times better than your splash page. Too bad 99% of the new people won't have come so far. - the code... This is a definate NO. Really, you should at least try to repect the standards. Even frontpage created almost valid pages. Then, you need to learn about CSS. No need to repeat 10 000 times "font color="#C0C0C0"", "align="left"", "span" and so on. Your website is simple, it could be at least 5 times shorter in matter of code if you used css and valid html. So, general opinion : get rid of the splash page, focus on html and css. And positive impression about the general layout, so it's not that bad ^^ pcthug 01-31-2006, 06:03 AM huh... Opening site... Ahh a splash page, well... It's simplistic! *Enter* Hmm.. Not to bad, looks alright. Let's look under the hood *Tools > View Source* _____Ummm Ok, from a design aspect it isnt overally bad although it is a little dull, a little css may be able to help you brighten up that page. Now on the code. It is bad. Really Bad. A few tips; Usually people may not have a doctype, but in your case you don't even have the compulsory HTML tags:<html>,<head>,<body>, the list goes on... Your charset is windows-1252, this is not recommended, try: charset=iso-8859-1 You can use Tables, however the preferred method is with a mixture of css and div's ' can be replaced with a little bit of css Any <font> tags can be replaced with css Etc. Try fixing these up, then try validating vti 01-31-2006, 06:58 AM Get rid of the "enter site" page. There is nothing worse. Remove all the marquee stuff aswell. Make the layout simple and easy to navigate, then worry about the "bells and whistles" joed 01-31-2006, 08:11 AM Thanks you all for your insight! Im gonna keep on working at it. Sincerely, Joe D thewebman 01-31-2006, 09:27 AM wow. even your splash page had 4 errors (http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.joedevita.com%2F) on it. joed 02-03-2006, 12:19 PM Ok, I took your advise and got rid of the splash pg. Unfortunately Im not that savvy with html encoding so it will take some time for me to get that straightened out. But I wanted to say thanks again for all of your input. Ness_du_Frat 02-03-2006, 03:30 PM Ok, I took your advise and got rid of the splash pg.
