    We just created a GoT parallax site and would love some critiques on overall design before releasing our full site next week. What do you think?? death-is-coming.info
    Thanks!:)

    Impressive... You have managed with only 9 validation errors to use a modern advanced technique polluted by obsolete 20th century attributes to produce a school project looking page that will probably have a lot of appeal for 12-year olds.

    To be fair you might have something of value on your site, but I doubt many will do much with that splash page but click the back button or x the tab. So they will never experience the rest of the site.

    I should have mentioned complete beginner with no knowledge of code and started with a blank page (no layout/template). We were just proud to have created a simple site to show friends, based on something we love- game of thrones. thanks for critique

    I'll be kinder. Some of the animation looked a bit odd viewed with chrome on an ipad but I think you did a good job. I don't watch game of thrones so don't recognise the creatures you used on the site but I'm assuming they're relevant.

    I don't know about everyone else, but I really enjoyed it! The art style and overall code design was very clean, and the only problem I had was with a few animations that seemed to jump a bit. But overall, it was really appealing.
