Hey all, please review my new site renovation here at: http://www.the-biomatrix.net I've not really tried anything this ambitious before, I was inspired by the look and feel of IGN. I wanted a kind of 'magazine' with a lot of obvious content. Any hints and tips would be really appreciated! Thanks! Ad.
Interesting site. I often search out sites like this. I would like it to be more authoritative. The article about current technology being used for transhumanism was pretty frivolous. The article covering a study on people's opinions of transhumanism was good, but lots of dense text. It would help to space out the sentences more and add some "white" space. Break up the text a bit. Also, something on the home page discussing what the site is about and what someone can find on the site would be helpful. I will probably check this site out later, though.
Thanks guys! Right the colour... Is it just too dark? I mean I find it fairly easy to read, what about other black and white sites? Is there anyway I can fix it with out a complete overhaul?? What colours would you recommend? Glad you guys liked the content. Yeah it is a bit free-wheeling Blake, I quite like to be a bit tongue in cheek with it. After years writing for magazines etc you get forced into the editor's 'voice' whereas I've always enjoyed breaking the fourth wall a little etc. And yeah I see your point about a bit of discussion... I was hoping it would speak for yourself (as my descriptions are never very succinct). But I think you're right, I'll have a think about where/what to write. Maybe just a sub heading on the banner? You're right it's bare NetDriver thanks - It's actually a temporary measure. When you say you search out sites like this Blake do you mean the design or the content? Just curious! Thanks all, please keep 'em coming!
I enjoy science-y sites like yours. I like reading about current technology, biotechnology, futurist sites, things like that. The site does speak for itself... eventually. Once I had browsed the article titles, and looked at some links, I got it. But not everyone will spend that time. Something near the top of the page saying "This is the best place for X" might help. When I first load the page there's a picture of an actress and two dudes "wrestling?" or something, and a very busy background... I just didn't know what to make of it at first.
