Website Review and Suggestions

**cch068** · 08-27-2008, 04:51 PM

Hello All,

I'm creating a website for some of my friends whom enjoy golfing. The main purpose is to keep stats for our rounds, and photos/videos of our outings. Not much to the template yet. I'm trying to design everything with layers though I currently have one table in there for the 3 nav links at the top. Also, not sure if this is the right forum but when the screen is minimize no scroll bars show up at the bottom and the can logo dissappears off the screen. any thoughts?

instead of using so many <br> in your code why dont you just position your text by aligin- ??

Yeah, the <br> is just to see how the content field expands. Just doing it as a test.

One suggestion or more of an opinion. For some reason I just think of one of those page holder things when a domain is expired or purchased but not developed. I expect to see "top searches for keyword" in the content area next. Now the interesting thing though, its not that your site is designed bad. I like the design and at a close look it is obvious the site is not a template (the can logo is nice). I think you should consider changing the styling of the text that says Chillidippers.com . I think it is the font you are using that gives the negative effect. Try making a nicer text logo and knock off the .com to make it look nicer. You could also try maneuvering your can logo so that it is the first thing that grabs the eye.

Looks like a great start though, the colors go nice.

My sentiments exactly.

Your website doesn't look very golfer-ish nor does it even have a golfing color scheme. It would be nice before you ask for a critique that you have content / information inserted into your template. A big fraction of any website is the overall CONTENT

Thank you for the suggestons. I'm in the process of getting the content in there.

It look alright so far but without content on the page it's hard to say much.

maybe is just me... but I prefer to have first the content written... to know what I am designing for...
