simple site design.. suggestiopns

Hey,
what do you thin kof my design for http://www.thesilvia.com ?

The menu part uses php include so its really siomple to update
(will be using include for header

any suggestions to improve?

thanks

 

I like the color scheme and the designs a lot. I would try and add just a little more structure to the internal text area as it seems to get lost by the colors and images.

 

Very nice - perhaps define the <hr> tag to make it fit in the with the design of the site - maybe just change it to the dark red colour you use on the pages. Might be nice to see that pale red as a border round your images as well.

 

the two pictures beside the adsense need to be changed everytime the page refreshes.

get more pictures and install a script to rotate the pictures. u can use the following script.

<script language="Javascript"><!--
function banner() {
};

banner = new banner();
number = 0;

// bannerArray
banner[number++] = "<img src='http://www.xx.com/xx.gif'>"
banner[number++] = "<img src='http://www.xx.com/xx2.gif'>"
banner[number++] = "<img src='http://www.xx.com/xx3.gif'>"
// keep adding items here...

increment = Math.floor(Math.random() * number);

document.write(banner[increment]);

//--></script>

 

hey, yeah i have a rotator but only have 2 pcis in the folders at the moment.


thanks for suggestions

 

oops no i dont i was thinking of my other site.

yeah i will add a rotator for those images..

thanks

 

Very nice color theme except for the font color on the right navigation.maybe you can use a lighter font so it wont fade with the background

 

A slight adjustments should fix it.

 

Great site, good color scheme and layout.

Your first line isn't necessary. Everything about the site says Silva - no need to explain. Cut right to your second line - about the car.

The layout reminds me of the index in an auto enthusiast magazine. If you lay out your posts with thumbnail images and brief descriptions of each article (and change it out monthly) that's almost exactly what it would be.

 

site is informative but where is menus ?

 

The ads are blended really well I'd suggest you should add some important navigation links in the header to make them more visible. Or you can try make the links in the left navigation more prominent.

Also fill the blank space in the left cloumn and also in the body with content.

You should also have a proper footer with links like 'contact', 'site map' etc.

 

Excellent site. I love the graphic showing of the car on the top left corner.
The colors also mix well with the cars. Good job.

 

hey thanks for the comments

with the menu i have used php include..

how do i get the menu column to go right down to the bottom?
i am using dreamweaver.. i have tried setting the height of the culumn in the inluded file to 100% but did not make a difference.

I have read on this forum that a sitemap isnt realy worth the effort? All of my pages can be reached from the home pages anyway.

 

The top banner graphic is excellent, the only thing I would change is the page doesnt really look complete. The bottom is off slightly, the text doesnt go to the bottom and you should really use CSS to control the H1 tag that way you can use a bit more defined text. Hope it helps
