http://www.missionenvironment.com I have completely redone this website with the help of people on this forum. I think it is now close to, if not already complete. I would now like some critical reviews from everyone here. Anything and everything pertaining to this site and how to improve it is welcome.
at first i thought err all text? then the nice piccys loaded and I stayed interested! Nice site.. Maybe chuck on some higher contrast pics on the site to make it really attractive!
Hello WholeSaleChecklist I have a huge interest in environmental action and change in our lifestyle.... so when I seen your site... I am indulged to provide my review. My Thoughts Domain Name Its quite long... but still easy to remember. Logo I like what you have done... but I think you could a little more to it... I would say... enlarge it slightly just to bring it out... and I would also recommend that you use your favicon as a logo image. I did notice that your logo loses transparency in Internet Explorer 6.02... See image below: Google Ads Not to sure about having google ads on a site trying to promote environmental protection. It seems out of place. How To Take Action Page Again... Internet Explorer 6.02 doesn't seem to like your site. It looks a bit of at the bottom of the page. It looks fine in FireFox and Opera. Mission Environment Blog Page When I went to mission environment blog page... I was thrown off a bit because the template is different from what I initially was viewing. I'd recommend that you keep the template consistent throughout your site. Mission Environment Forum Page Same comments as Blog page. Conclusion When doing this review, I had a look at environmental websites as a comparison for design. I think you could add a few more touches and you would be comparable. You may want to link up to their sites... and even as a courtesy... request to do this linking... Overall... its a great website with some excellent tips for people new to helping our world. This review was done with 3 web browsers (FireFox 2.0.0.9, Internet Explorer 6.02 & Opera 9.24) on Windows XP SP2. Much Respects. Lhlalyam
It looks nice. The only thing I would say is, make the blog and the forum the same design and colour scheme as the rest of the website.
Thanks to all those who gave me in-depth reviews -- I appreciate it. I agree with everyone, I need to get the blog and forum on the same template. It will be a daunting task, so I left that for last. Also, as we speak, the logo is being redone and a sun will be added to it somehow. I am worried about that one post about my images loading slowly. I guess I need to find a good image optimizer that doesnt sacrifice quality. If anyone wants to help me out: 1) Give me more critical reviews because they help me out a lot 2) Sign up for my forum 3) Comment on my blog and check back often (I am working on a new post and will update it often from now on) Thanks everyone
1) If anyone thinks the site looks 90s-ish, can you please give me examples of more modern websites to use as a guide 2) I want to make the Featured Article box more noticeable and stand out more. Any ideas on how to do this?
http://www.missionenvironment.com/blog How does the blog look so far? I am adding the top part of my normal template to the blog in order to keep the same feel throughout the site.
Blog and forum templates updated, and dead links fixed. Think I am ready to advertise the site aggressively?
I have just updated all of my articles and even wrote one more. Can you please proof-read them? You can find them all at www.missionenvironment.com/howtakeaction.html
you should go to youtube and see how one scientist is able to replace gasoline with salt water it is pretty cool. Your site has very useful information.
