Website Review and Suggestions

**sharkbait** · 04:37 PM

Hi all,

Have made a website for my sons under 8s football team as most of the pre-made sites out there suck bad.

all comments more than welcome

Looks decent, but i think their is way to much blue.

Your graphics and buttons are really big kb wise, the football scape is like 150kb, your small buttons at the top are nearly 20kb each, and the small ad buttons the biggest is 45kb

needs a bit of optimising.

looks quite good

ditto the kbs

shouldn't the site be green and yellow like the team colours?? oh i see from the team pics that it is blue

mark your paragraph text up as paragraphs and don't use <br>s to make a 'paragraph'

the blue is a little saturated maybe something sampled from the shirts like #477FF0 could work better

also you could have a page background colour instead of the white in the margins

all in all though, a good job!

your favicon is on the page
<img alt="" height="16" src="favicon.ico.jpg" width="16" /><span lang="en-gb">

you can use this to make it into a proper faviconhttp://tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon/

center area would be better as a lighter grey

but heavy on the chrome bevel type effect - why not use your logo from this page http://www.studleybjuniors.co.uk/players.html ?

hi

Website is quite simple and decent. I think something is missing.. You can add some flash and photo in it. More use of blue there

Cheers

if you could use the logo you could do something like this

Try changing the sidebar blue color. Besides that it looks well done.

thanx so far guys for the feed back,

I didnt even realise about the white background, currently on a 15" old monitor and didnt see it / didnt look for it....I can now...lol

Thank for the tip on the ico, already bookmarked.

massive thanx to davemies for the extra effort on the banner, think its great and I will change the banner to something very close to that. I was hanging back on that a little as they have just changed kit, was going to add that into the banner. the yellow one will be replaced on home page

just a question does it really matter that much about file sizes in these days of broadband? I can understand if people have got 56k modems, but I wouldn't of thought many these days.

Thanx again, everyone

^Its your bandwidth your using, and people do expect pages to load instantly, try going to your page then hard refreshing and see how long it takes to load, don't forget you are loading most of the page from your cache.
To hard refresh goto the page and press "ctrl" and "F5", then you will reload from the page rather than your pc assissting the load from memory.
