Review: Funny Facts Website

Discussion in 'Websites' started by Galaxian, Feb 12, 2016.

    Please could you review the design, functionality, and content of the funfactz.com website. The website has been undergoing on-off development since 2008 and has a Facebook page with almost 100,000 likes and a YouTube channel of nearly 2,000 subscribers.

    The website does not use WordPress - rather a bespoke system that I made myself.

    Let me know your thoughts. :)

    My only thought and it is only a thought. Is why black?

    I tend to think that relative links are dangerous but that may be old school thinking

    I'm not a fan of the black background but the font sizes are big so it's easier to read than most light on dark sites.

    Well done.

    It's made from scratch by myself so that I have full control over the system.

    Relative links are fine IMO. Thanks for the feedback - I like the big fonts too.

    It was lighter many years ago, but I just seemed to transition it to the dark design that it is today. I like it, although it has a more serious-attitude tone rather than one of "fun". Regardless, I think it works.

    It's the black background that makes it more of a informative site. I have bookmarked this site. I felt you have invested good time in your website and have made it match the trend! Those are quick reads and I prefer this method for facts! I love this website! It's neat and simple. Try an Icon for your website to appear in the URL.
