    Hi, I just finished creating my site from scratch, and I want your opinion :)

    It's http://www.gradquotes.net

    What do you think about it?

    Oh, and if you post your opinion, would you mind telling me your screen's resolution?

    Thanks!

    Do you think there will be people coming looking for such information?
    I have visited and used quotes sites before, but not for the kind of quotes you are offering.

    "Graduation Quotes!" size/position of lettering seems to look a bit of an after thought, needs something better I think.

    White box seems lost at top 1/3 of page. Also, looks lost for content.

    2 tone blue background looks very nice.

    My screen resolution: 1024 x 768

    You mean that the content is not easily located? Do you think it would help if I made it bold?

    and for "White box seems lost at top 1/3 of page", what exactly do you mean?

    and for the "Graduation Quotes!", do you think I should remove it, or what do you suggest?

    Thanks!

    Its not clear when you say " click the button on the left", as there is no button

    I would have the quotes very bold etc as it took me more than 5 secs to find the quote ( and you lose people within 1 sec if they dont like the site )

    I would add more content - stuff about other quotations etc or even an amazon bar so at least they can but quotation books etc

    Thanks.

    The button was supposed to be above the logo, and I moved it afterwards. I'll have to change that.

    And I hadn't thought about amazon - thanks!

    I will make the quotes bigger and bolder.

    Okay, I made quotes bold. Shall I make them larger, or keep them as is?

    I would expand it a bit looks kind small you don't want to go beyond the fold but you still have room to work with

    OK. I'll make it wider, so I can fit a large horizontal banner, but I'm not sure about making it taller because I don't have THAT much content and quotes aren't usually that long.
