Hey everyone, I'm a noob here but i was hoping i can get some help from everyone....I just created a site and i was wondering if it would be possible for some of the more expereinced guys here to take a look at it and tell me what i can improve? The site is beatmypick.com..Thanks!
Hi there, That's a very nice looking site! It's all very clear to read and the colours work together very well and consistently across the site. I've just got a couple of very small comments (though they really are just small issues and me being a bit pedantic. ). Firstly on the homepage underneath 'Sports News' the text is much closer to the heading than on any of the other sections - I wonder if you could just add 5 - 10 pixels of padding just to give it a bit of a wider margin. (I told you they were really small points!). The second thing is that there isn't a link back to your homepage on your navigation bar. I had a flick around some of your other pages and assumed that to get back to the homepage I would click the first link in the navigation bar as is common on most websites but that took me to a different area. I realise that clicking on the banner returns you back to that first page but as not everyone would think of that it might be worth placing a 'Home' link somewhere at the top. The bottom menu also seems like a strange addition; usually if you are planning on having a menu at the bottom it would link to different things (e.g. site map, contact us, etc) but not normally the same things as the top menu. Although you have some distinctive links at the bottom you also have some of the same ones as at the top which seems a bit unnecessary. Those are my only comments, they all are very small because on the whole it's a very nice looking site. Hope that helps, Bex
Hey Box, Thanks for the suggestions, i'm gonna get working on these...Feel free to be as "Pedantic" as you'd like!
Hey atlmvp1 - That's a really good looking site. Loving the simplicity of it and the colours work well together too. Otherwise most of Bex's comments are accurate and should be done. The site design is really good just need to work on the overall structure and navagatability (what a word!).
Bex's comments just about some it up, it's a great website, well designed everything. Only thing I'd suggest is use .png files for your layout if possible, that way you can have transparency and you won't get those awful looking white bits on your rounded corners.
