My Website

I need some comments & crits about the design I'm working on for my new site. Take a look and let me know what you think.

Also, if anyone can figure out why I get that extra gap below the random image, please tell me how to fix it!

I think it looks good. I'm not sure what you mean about a "gap" though...

Cujo · 11-28-2003, 04:01 AM

Could be an IE thing, but the bottom of the image should align with the bottom of the blue navigation pane there is like a 2 pixel gap there.

Your site is lying to my browser.

Except for the IE only code...looks nice.

Arik · 11-28-2003, 04:11 AM

Try valign="bottom" in either the div or the cell.

It's been a while...

I think it's a nice layout Cujo.

Cujo · 11-28-2003, 04:24 PM

Thanx guys.

Arik, try trying the page again, I rewrote the source code.

I like it.

Is GoLive dumping that doctype definition in, or is that you? Because it still doesn't validate, and if GoLive is doing it, I wonder why it's dumping so much extra code into the webpage.

I don't like the new graphics. Being your site's main functionality, the graphics are hard to read (actually, I'd drop the nav graphics and replace them with text "fancied up" with the stylesheet. The "Updates" and "Weeklies" graphics I'd make bigger and set them off with a horizontal line.). I also think you should look at dropping the borders on the tables.

If it were my site, I'd incorporate the logo with one of the random graphics (I'm not a big fan of random graphics on websites) (I'd do it with the pic of Earth). I'd gradient that image out to your background color, then I'd take everything out of the main tables (to make it more liquid). Then I'd drop the nav into the dark grey bar that right now just has the version # in it. But, that's just me.

If you want, Web Design Forums.net is a good place to get criticism/pick up advice.

Of course, who am I to talk?

Ok... I did I minor redesign on the webpage take a look. You may have to refresh the page.

Arik, I took a couple of your suggestions and made some changes. I took out the random image generator and I have 2 or 3 ideas on what to use in that space instead. (those will show up later) I didn't want to incorporate the logo into those graphics as its already front & centre anyway. The seperator bar I already planned on using as a "where am I?" navigation, I just never added it. The border is intregal to the site design, I don't want to drop it from the tables. You'll see what I mean if you look here.

Yes, GoLive generates that code and other useless crap, but its too much work to remove it everytime. So deal! :blink:
