Hello, I recently put a classified ad for my site up on another popular site and I am incredibly disheartened at the very rude comments left about my site. But the complaints I did find legit were the comments about the color. People don't seem to like the light green color. I was going for a video game-ish kind of feel, but it doesn't seem to have the effect I thought. Please let me know what you think of the colors, and if you don't agree with them, please post some suggestions of alternate colors. Any feedback will be appreciated! And yes, it's the site listed in my sig...
I am not a big fan of "dark" web site. But that's personal taste. The color scheme is OK. It blends well. Although, I would prefer a "lighter" version (greyish with green).
Erm? It is just a theme, what part of it did you design. I am sure I can find you many comments for that theme, is that what you want or is there something special that you made that you want comments on?
Ok, well I completely changed to template. I was just getting it from all sides about how ugly my site was. So if you look now, you will see something else I'll try out for awhile. Hope you like it!
Looks good! I like it better, the banner is somewhat hard to read and the font is a little small... well on my laptop at least. But hey what do I know, I'm still a student of all this!
I think the site is too dark, dark on light is definitely the way to go.. look at nearly every other popular website.. almost all use white or very light backgrounds... its soo much easier to read. Also, your logo is hard to read in high resolutions.. it gets too squished..
I can't read it without highlighting all. Why not go for dark text on a light background? That would look MUCH better IMO.
but the linked text in blue is difficult to read with the small font size. Picky picky picky! also , with all the posts, are you thinking of organizing them into categories, like PS3 - Movies - nerds etc?
Thank you for the replies. I understand I'm being the underdog here with using a dark background. I think the way I'm going to solve the "hard to read" aspect is to make the font a little bigger. I tried that earlier today and it looked much better. And I agree, organizing into categories is a great idea! It's a work in progress definitely...but I like this design better. I almost quit over the comments I was receiving on another site about all the hard work I have done.
Don't quit, people will SURPRISE you! They're crazy. I love the blue. It's pretty! Sometimes extreme and contrasting colors like that can make you feel funny if you spend a really long time on that site. But my opinion is that it would make people feel more connected with the site for some reason that is hard to explain.
Looks quite ok to me. But if you notice, most of the page looks drab from afar. Right now you could use another color in addition to just black, white and blue.
