Hmm i tried at least four desings. This is todays .... i just dont know what to do ..... i will try with this for a week .... i will post later my previous designs to see what you all think !
Here are two designs ..... Which one you find best ... current or any of those two ? Thank You for your comments in advance
I think you need more contrast. The one that is blue and grey is a little better. I don't like frames or having to scroll down the timeline/article. You are using a lot of screen space at the top for something I am not really interested in. The idea for all of these timelines is kind of interesting, but you are not delivering the "explorer" part of your name. I would expect a site like historyexplorer to have tons of links that allow me to dig deeper into any given event. Good luck.
I sure will add more indepth articles about events on timelines. I just thought to add slowly and to make this one year project ! It is one month old You said you dont like to scroll down ... well i have no idea how to make that timelines not to scrolldown and make them one page view ... any suggestion ? Regards
It sounds like a very interesting year long project. I didn't mean that I don't like to scroll at all. I just don't like scrolling a single frame. My first suggestion is to avoid frames all together, but I would imagine there are several options.
Ok will try to figure out something in next couple of days ! Thanks for your comments. I dont know what u understand by frames ... those are not html frames if you think that ... its simple css box with overflow ...
Personally, I liked the thumbnail above with the blue sidebar, but I think the new design could work, but needs some help. Specifically, the adsense integration is very poor, and I recommend having some kind of header to visually anchor the site. Currently, there are bits just floating in space, looking disorganized. Also, all your timelines end at around 1990-2000. But then again, you have a year to fix that
Do you have any suggestions where should i put adsense. I am thinking of leaving just banner in the header! Thank You
Yes directory if i can find any pages to submit hehe ..... since me and my wife are very history oriented are also interested in having our own database of history pages ... anyone with history page please submit Tell me which categories should i include !
hahahaha i just realized ... i had this in .htaccess <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^directory\.historyexplorer\.net [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.historyexplorer.net/directory/ [L,R=301] </IfModule> You all know what this means .... every single visitor was redirected to directory ... i had 10 visitors from msn.com and all were redirected to directory while they were looking for completely different things haha what a waste
