Website Review and Suggestions

**audiomad** · 02-23-2008, 11:03 AM

I have updated my site www.dragonstardesign.com what do you think?

I would dial up the opacity on the main black content box... the background image is just a little distracting... for me personally

kudos

i like the look of it but as i mentioned in another thread (w3c sucks) you need to spell check and grammar check. CSS is usually written 'CSS' not Css' it looks a bit weird

Times-New-Roman-like-bold-italic text is the worst thing people use.

**audiomad** · 02-24-2008, 05:27 AM

Its in the beta stage I did a spell check already and thats what I got I will change it when I upload the site in full.

**davemies** · 02-24-2008, 05:28 AM

if you spell checked already then how come you have typos in there?!

**audiomad** · 02-24-2008, 06:03 AM

Its just the way it came out I used Dreamweaver for the spell check go figure

**davemies** · 02-24-2008, 06:05 AM

strange - i'm pretty sure it would have picked up 'allot' for example

looks like you might have to check it manually then

**audiomad** · 02-24-2008, 06:42 AM

nope! I guess when I have the time to focus on a few spellings rather than building templates I will fix everything

**audiomad** · 02-25-2008, 06:08 AM

anyone else?

**dragon_master_m** · 02-25-2008, 07:27 AM

lol actually 'allot' is a real word ^_^

Quote:

(from dictionary.com)
–verb (used with object), -lot·ted, -lot·ting. 1.to divide or distribute by share or portion; distribute or parcel out; apportion: to allot the available farmland among the settlers. 2.to appropriate for a special purpose: to allot money for a park. 3.to assign as a portion; set apart; dedicate.

just thought id share my 2cents

**audiomad** · 02-25-2008, 07:34 AM

The text will be changed give it a rest everyone its a beta test alot will be changed what do people think of the design and layout?

**dragon_master_m** · 02-25-2008, 05:42 PM

sorry. ^_^;
the site looks amazing. i love the color scheme you've put together. the blue rectangle at the top shouldn't be as transparent as it is now. and maybe (somehow?) blend the edge of the black around the content so it flows evenly with the background.

**LogicWeb** · 02-25-2008, 10:46 PM

I like the site. Its unique and nicely done. But as some suggested, definitely find a better font type and lose the italics.

**audiomad** · 02-26-2008, 04:16 AM

Thanks for the comments I will change the font and will blend the border into the back ground

**dman_2007** · 02-28-2008, 04:57 AM

Way too dark imo, lighten it up a bit.

**audiomad** · 02-28-2008, 08:35 AM

I actualy like the darkness it makes the transparent back ground work better with a white you dont get that effect.

**Cheshire_cat** · 02-28-2008, 10:03 AM

I am not a fan of black websites but that is a personal opinion; However when I do a site I usually try to keep design styles close to what is popular or “in style” if you look at any mega site (i.e. google, mac) You will see that light colors (i.e. white, light blue) are the colors that are being used. The transparent background screams MySpace, and to me there is nothing professional about that. Another thing the menu tabs are kind of hidden, I did not even see them at first.
