FEEDBACK on a DESIGN

Postby Vicpop on Sun May 04, 2008 8:22 pm

So to replace my gigantic old website (see here), I've been working on a fancy generic design that allows me to put news or something up on the main page while still being able to navigate to the old pages of the site.

I like it.

Valid XHTML 1.0 Strict, no CSS errors, and the site is rendered almost exactly the same on both FF and IE.

The links are broken for right now, but when I move these files into the correct directory it'll work fine.

Feedback?

EDIT:
'Kay Blink, it's now XHTML 1.0 Strict and I changed some of the colors. Looks jazzy now.

Well I do work with HTML sometimes - it looks solid however to be evil :twisted: this is really basic but clean. ;)

Use something like CS3 Dreamweaver you'll create this in a hour and have everything ready.

Layout is okay, if a little plain. Perhaps a more soothing colour scheme?

It's not really worth using XHTML 1.1 at the moment as you need to serve pages as xhtml+xml but IE doesn't support it and just prompts you to download the file.

You're currently using text/html which isn't true 1.1, you can see by checking the validator:

The document is being served with the text/html Mime Type which is not a registered media type for the XHTML 1.1 Document Type. The recommended media type for this document is: application/xhtml+xml


Most people just use 1.0 to make it easier than pissing around with IE support. Good to see some web standards going on amongst the lopers :P

Simple and effective but it doesn't stand out. Feels like a commercial website. If you like it then keep it but I've found that when you love your work a few years later you may wonder what drugs you were on :lol:

And it's good to see you keep web standards in mind. I do try myself but I have a habit of being messy : >

This was enough for me to give myself a greenlight-- http://www.joeweasel.com/ is now the redesign, and I wrote the first post. If someone could lock this thread or something...

The colours are much better, but I have two suggestions.

Add some text hover on the links, to help give visual clues to the user.
Make the Step headings bold to break the text up a bit.

Otherwise, nice.
