I've posted my web design back quite a while to review.. but I couldn't find the thread Anyway this is the new and improved design.. tell me what you think It's in my sig
Alright, two things come to mind: - On a graphic and web design website, I expect to see... some design, some pictures, some images! I appreciate that you don't have a bunch of ads or clutter everywhere but it's a bit too bare for me. - I'm not a huge fan of the white font on the dark blue background. It's hard to focus on it... and it's too bad because your articles look good and in-depth! On the plus side, I like the color scheme, your logo and the navigation. It's well organized too.
Agreed with 'Zhu' on this. Could probably do with some images or designs on the page. I am also in favour of the color scheme you've chosen. It's nice.
Okay, got any idea's of what images I should put on? I was thinking that it was a bit bare but I couldn't think of anything. I've changed the white so it's a bit easier on the eyes as well.
loading time was fine for me, but in my opinion its a bit bare, the content box doesnt look that big on my screen. Try and make the box a bit taller, and then it would look really good. On a plus, I love the colour scheme, very modern and professional Good luck with the site and i hope i have been of help Simon
Thanks for the comments.. I've taken most of them into consideration. Now, I've got the question.. do you think it's worth redesigning my site so that it's a white bg on black text (Easier on the eyes) ? I've got enough time to do so. If I was to make a white design it would look some what like this.. http://www.toptut.com
Design and Color scheme looks too good but it is taking much time to load so you need to make your images more lighter.
The color scheme is cool. But there is something lacking. You must put some thumbnails of your works and creations so that the visitor(s) would know easily how your works look.
I like the theme of your site, I like the background color scheme you have used. The only thing was there is no images, only link and banners. Maybe you could put some?
Hey, thanks for all the replys! Everything that you've said so far has been useful.. and I'm in the middle of designing more images, to spice the site up . Anyway I've been working on making the text easy to read (by changing line height and colors).. and I'd like your opinion.. do you find this page difficult to read.. http://www.explosivewebdesign.com/articles/trends.html
i think the design looks professional. maybe you can change the background color to something somehow brighter because the dark background is making the whole thing seem too dark.. i think it is not bad. i give you 7/10.. i'll check back later! .. good luck
Hey, just wanted to say thanks for all the suggestions.. I've managed to come up with this (it took longer then I thought!).. Obviously there's still a bit of work to be done.. but when I'm happy with it I'll code it into css (atm it's just one big picture). Anyway tell me what you think of the new design.. I personally think the color scheme is lighter and the design is not as bare.. ps.. if your wondering what the bar up the top is for.. it's going to be used for the thin adsense ad.
