Website Critique

Post by C.w. »

I've been working on my website ever since i switched comics. I think i'm pretty much finished, but i'd really like some third party criticisim. If you had some time to take a look, i'd really appreciate it.

Nice and simple navigation. If I didn't get lost, then you did a damn fine job.
One little thing though, the back and forward buttons sitting on the bottom right of the screen would, in my opinion, be better placed in the bottom middle of the page... but that's just me...
Also, maybe a bigger title?

P.S. I really liked comic #4

The bottom section looks very akward with the thin narrow strip of stuff dragging the page longer then it should be. I recomend using a table or layers to reposition it to the side of the comic so it looks less thrown on the bottom.

i'd second the suggestion of moving the navigation bars to the middle.

cause i have a wide screen monitor, and the navigation buttons are like eeeeeeeeuagh! too far to navigate quickly.

Okay, moved the nav buttons in a bit, and made my bar of junk shorter by culling some of the redundant links. I wish i could make it even shorter, since it always looks obnoxious next to my sparse newsposts, but i'd have to get rid of the newsbox. (should see the results whenever it makes its way through the queue)

Anything else?

Looks fine, but if you really wanna get picky you can do something about the colour of the background of the advertisement area at the top of the page... it looks kinda odd in grey... maybe black?

Look'n good, but maybe make the flame background at the bottom extend across the whole page instead of just the news and newsbox area.

I originally intended for it to be like that, but i gave up because it didn't work in certain browsers.

Yeah, you should really change that ad frame background. It doesn't fit in with the color scheme of the site, which is really nice by the way. The colors are very lush and vivid, and the background to the ad (and maybe the comic, too) could probably be more neutral versions of those, to fit in the scheme.
