Website Help.....again

[tgpo]

Well I've finally got a design I like. It's simple and quick to load. Please let me know how it looks on PCs with various browsers. Let me know if anything is out of place or strange looking.

Please note, not all pages are up as of yet.

Everything looks good on Mozilla Firefox 0.9.3.

[Doramius]

Looks good here. Just seems a bit plain, but when you're using a MAC there aren't very many practical applications available. Just picking on ya. Looks good.

[gooberguy]

looks good on aol 9.0

You admit to using AOL?

Can't get there from here right now. Sorry.

[redwudz]

I like it. Loads quick and easy to navigate with IE 6.

[tgpo]

Just seems a bit plain

To be honest, that's what I was going for

[lordsmurf]

Fonts are hard to read. Times is no good on PC screen (or MAC!). Try VERDANA or ARIAL or HELVETICA instead. A sans serif.

Design nice a simple. Does its job.

Simple text is all you need. I like plain and simple. A lot of people try to be all complicated and flashy that I think makes the site look like every other site. A plain site really stands out. What I'm getting sick of is people who must do a whole site in flash, think thats the only way to go, and think thats great design. So I have to wait three minutes loading different pages just to get your e-mail address or contact info.

One more thing. I kind of went on a little rant that I forgot what I was going to say. The top looks a little off. It looks almost like the menu is supposed to go into that little bulgy area. And the site logo looks a little too low in the section.

tgpo,

Nice and clean. I'd go with Arial too, though. Crisper-looking.

If you want to see how not to design a website, go to Rayban's site, and get ready to wait a long time for each page. They have that site so rigged with razzle-dazzle it's nauseating.

two things -

- first page comes up with the blue graphic centered - all others come up with it justified top left.

- on the movies page, even if I scroll down all the way, I can't read the text or click any links for the last movie listed - it's white text against a white border.

this is with Mozilla 1.6 / Win98 / 1024x768.

The logo being that low was on purpose. I didn't want the logo to be a huge flash the engulf the whole page, I want it to appear to be resting just above the line below it.

As for the menu the little curvy area is only there to give the menu a small bit of non-boringness. It reminds me of a file folder and the top tab. You're probably right about the menu being in there, but that's another one of my website hates....menus that are too squished together. Thanks for the excellent feedback!

What blue graphic? The apple in the background?

- on the movies page, even if I scroll down all the way, I can't read the text or click any links for the last movie listed - it's white text against a white border.

Why is there a border there? Can you post a screenshot for me?

Thanks for the feedback!

movie page scrolled all the way:

[Doramius]

I'm not saying it has to be blinding with adverts and flashing icons everywhere. Just knowing TGPO, I expected a little character out of it.

Think of a website like bread. I was thinking of something with light butter and a pinch of garlic on it, not a whole Ruben sandwhich. I just thought it fell along the lines of Dry Toast, graphic wise. As far as loading and ease to move through, it's 100% good in my book.

[tgpo]

Housepig: It doesn't seem to be taking the target tag for the links. All the pages should be loading in the iframe, not on their own....weird.

So when you click the links they open in a new window?

well, I always use "open in new tab" in Mozilla, I hardly ever just click links.

[tenders]

looks good to me

[Conquest10]

Oh s***! We got quick reply on here! Sorry.

[Ripper2860]

Looks Great! Got one problem when using Mozilla FireFox 1.9, though...

I can't see any of the pornography. You may want to check and make sure you fix that.

Other than that -- excellent.

[housepig]

that'll be Kung Fu 5, the NC-17 version.

Will that be released on video soon? I need to get my order in.
