Does your site need an overhaul?

Post by Tandt »

I've been looking at my site and decided It could use some sprucing up. I was wondering who else feels this way about their comic site.

Coding makes ME want to cry.

Have one that says "I can't even figure out where to PUT the coding so it works!!" and that's me.

I'm in the middle of creating a relatively comprehensive cast page so that it's not as confusing as to where the characters are coming from in the comic. Eventually I'll update the graphics and buttons to be more interesting and appropriate. The main banner also needs to be changed to the newer logo design. Yeah - I have a good deal of work that needs to be done.

My site design is extremely amateurish, but it generally does what I want it to do.

A couple of pages are teh absolute suck, though. :shifty:

My current design was made in a couple of minutes as soon as I got my account just so I could have something up there. I'm working on a new, non-crappy one but I need a new scanner so I can make some of the graphics I want because I'm lame and can't draw worth crap with a mouse.

Eh, mine's pretty basic, but I think I prefer it that way...

Remember, too, Jim, that you're gonna have to help me completely redo my site before I hit strip 100...

Hmm... I did completely redesign my website not so long ago, and I think it looks about acceptable. I'd like to add a section or two, though. If only I could think of some content I could make...

I'm more or less happy with my layout. It's overly simplistic for the most part, which makes it easy enough to get around. I'd say that after All Hallows Eve though I should invest some time in putting up an easy-to-add-to archives page.

I overhauled my entire site about six months ago, and so I'm rather happy with it now. I know that I should do something about white text on black background... but my sheer number of pages outmatches my desire to do anything about it.

I'm quite happy with how TTG is set up, though I need to rework the links page yet again (have more comics to add, and the ComicGenesis links are getting too long). Humbug's working on the TOP site, and I've only just started on the KoV site.

i am extermely happy with the way my page is, i do need to change a bunch of the jpgs to gifs, but that's not really a design issue it's just something I've got to do that I've been lazy about. Otherwise, it's pretty darn perfect.

After six months of development it had better well not! Although we are continually adding stuff. Need to get a links page of comics up, for example. But it doesn't need a complete overhaul.

Mixed Myth could use some work, though. But I doubt I'll get to it.
