Quick review of small currency site

    Hey there, put this together in a weekend or two:

    http://decepti0n.com/currency/html/

    It isn't completed yet and the top links don't work. As well, please ignore the Euro flag being from Zimbabwe, didn't have the EU one yet.

    I'm looking for some opinions on the layout/presentation etc. It's hard to figure out a good design for something so simple.

    The logo is too small it should be more prominent and you should remove the negative
    space at the bottom of the page.

    @kingofsanda, agreed, the logo was there just to put something, since I haven't even settled on a name.

    @bsreddy, which header are you talking about? The gold Euro banner?

    - the website address is difficult to remember
    - copyright at the bottom is incomplete
    - I like the color layout
    - tried doing a couple of conversions and it's pretty fast

    Great site. It will be useful for all. Just make the title and logo little bit larger and remove the rectangle just below it.

    aristocrat, the address is only temporary until I get a domain name I guess. Copyright I'll have to do, it was just a placeholder for now, and glad you liked the rest :)

    2advance, about the rectangle, what else could go there? It seems a bit empty and bland without it

    It's too wide for 1204X768? Can you make it to fit all resolutions?

    First thing i want to criticize is you don't have my currency on your website i.e. Pakistani Rupee :)
    Secondly i agree that the logo is too small and not professional at all too .. The links you are having on your header are not clearly visible too. One suggestion i want to give is you can fill the white space at right and left side with different country's currency or flag so it will give a good impression but its just a suggestion and one more thing you can add is to convert a currency to all of the currencies listed as i saw it on many currency converters online.
    Thanks

    viriava, I haven't really worried about IE6 since it's years old.

    978968, how is it too wide? I resized my browser to that size and it's ok (except the table is a bit wonky now - might take out the equals sign)

    phyza, I don't have all the currencies right now :( but I'll work on getting all of them. I'm thinking of adding plenty of options too, I'll be sure to include that :)

    Thanks for all the responses

    Sorry, my resolution is 1280X1024, you may check. You can not see all infor in one screen and have to use the scroll bar at the bottom.

    I guess there is something wrong with top menus. The font color is hard to read .

    there is too much empty space left out.
    I liked your logo and "currencyduck" thing
    but the subtitles under the golden patch are not seen,so you need to change the font color
    try to use one color scheme
    rest all is good
    good luck!

    justlorder and BlueCheri, would it be possible for you to take a screenshot? My top menu is white on black and the headers are black on white and I don't know if there's a clearer colour scheme than that. Maybe I missed something on different browsers or something.

    it's better to build this as one of contents on your website because there's nothing to see and really boring

    Ah, found it. The reason the text is over the golden picture is because your screen isn't as wide as mine. I'll have to figure out a way around it, but otherwise the menu is meant to be on the black top bar.
