I am not yet done with the content, and I really want your suggestions on how to make the design better.

Thank you for your time

Not that bad, the only major thing is the top left text is hanging off the edge by a LOT.

XP SP2 FireFox 3.0.4

*EDIT* Strange, it looks like either you or FF decided to decrease the bottom padding, now the text fits. Nice job!

Its okay but you have the text lagging over the design, I would change the text color

**VeneLatin23** · 12-15-2008, 10:08 PM

Now that you mention it. I just noticed that the text does that when the window's not maximized? Strange.. I gotta look into it. Thank you!

Hi, It's a good attempt, certainly if it's your first website, you need to fix up your div's a little bit, some of the positioning is off, aside from that, I would say that the website looks just a little too busy, when I visit, I'm not sure where I should focus first.

Thanks,
Andy

^I think your right, the positioning is not properly align, and some adjustment on the color will do!

**Janck** · 12-16-2008, 09:46 AM

Not bad, i would only prefer if that inframe woundlnt be there. But the decision is up to you.

First, It's a bright and clear design.
Second, I think you need replace the left hand frame by some ways else (e.g, leader by three post and after that by list of header...)

Sorry if there's something wrong in my words, 'cause it says about Obama. It's a big name.

It's lacking something at the top. But I love the artistic design, I think that will appeal to a lot of people. The alignment is still a problem, the table appears to be centered while the information is right aligned. I didn't look at the code, so I'm not sure exactly what's going on. I would also make the headings a little larger to draw attention to certain areas. I think with all the clutter (the well designed, and very well laid out clutter... don't change it - I don't mean it in a bad way) the text is getting lost in the middle.

Full of pictures, good design, lots of contents and good links. I thinks it's a good site. By the way did you design it yourself?

**Brian07002** · 12-16-2008, 06:01 PM

Good, but the first issue still hasn't been resolved as of yet.

**specialk** · 12-16-2008, 08:22 PM

I looks great besides the small portion of the right column that runs off the right side in firefox. Was this developed for 800x600 resolution or which? Looks good to me, are you getting a bunch of traffic to it now?

**VeneLatin23** · 12-16-2008, 10:34 PM

I can't really figure out why the text is doing that !! I'm working on revising my code.

&& yes capik I designed it myself. =]

Thank you guys so much for your feedback! I will get on fixing the problem ASAP so I can finally open the website.

**danielcer** · 12-17-2008, 02:57 AM

The art work on the site is good. But, I'd recommend compressing the banner/navigation block. You'll want some more of the content section visible to people visiting the site for the first time with a low-ish screen resolution (think people with small laptops).

I think I fixed the problem ! Can you guys please check in your browsers? Thank you ! =]

**andypugh** · 12-17-2008, 06:50 PM

I don't think you fixed it, it seems to be pushing to the right (firefox) I've had a look at the code and a lot of it is wrong, you should look at a few CSS tutorials, certainly from a positioning point of view.

Thanks,
Andy
