Website link: HTML tutorials

Please review my website.
Especially, tell me if the material is worth becoming a member.

Well, some of the material is pretty interesting, but...
The design of the website is not good, not catchy, not attractive, which is not good for HTML tutorials website. I would not become a member if the site at least looks professional. Also, why would I become a member if I can find most of the same information on google? Get into something more specific that is hard or impossible to find. Make a nice menu. Make nice logo.
Your website looks like you spent less then a day to do it in notepad. Spend some more time on the design since it plays a veeery important role on your website.
Sorry, but that what I truly think.

The domain is slightly hard to remember.. as for the layout, maybe try adding a template with header and navigation graphics?

Design ?? What design ?? I don't see anything that could be construed as 'design' there, sorry.

You've got validation errors.
Your main list is in rough shape in Firefox.

The html tutorials... how about not teaching deprecated tags (like <b> and <center> and <font>) and going with HTML 4.01 ?

Other than that, you're not offering anything unique.

Maybe you could organize the tutorials a little better. Have links like "Complete Newbie", "Newbie", and so on until you have "HTML King". That way, a user can find what they are looking for based on their perceived skill level.

So, in basic you could have stuff like:
Free Hosts for those just learning.
How to shop for a host.
Setting up a host
DNS Explanation
DNS Setup
Different Shared host interfaces (plesk, cpanel).
FTP
Information on wysiwyg html editors.
Basic HTML editing and understanding.

From there, you just move up the list.

As far as the look, I don't like it. It's very plain. Put some more color in there. Nothing to confuse your visitors, but make it more colorful. Maybe try some different font colors in the different areas.

I like how you were able to get it to automatically size itself to the users browser.

Also, the logo....hmm....it needs more flare. It looks like one of those robot blocking images that some webmasters put into applications to stop automated submissions.

Thanks for all the comments.

Well, I changed my logo. Too busy to change the entire layout. Atleast not right now.

It is simple to navigate and there are some nice examples. However, many sites already offer this type of service.

The Site should be redesigned to be more appealing!

You should spend a bit more time on navigation issues.

content = 8.0
design = 7.5
graphic content = 9.5

What you should add is a Cheatsheet like at Web Site Design and Development

not a good tempalte/design u running site on really
looks like some new bie made it in notepad

u definately needs to change the template or redo it

**pondlife** · 08-25-2006, 11:59 AM

It's great that you've thought a lot about the content and that it seems that you're trying to be helpful but to echo what the others have been saying: you need to sort out the layout - especially the navigation.

A good start might be to designa a navigation menu - there are plenty of tools to help you create these quickly and easily so if you're busy it would be a good option.

Don't get demoralised - keep up the good work.

**ironmonk3y** · 08-27-2006, 10:03 AM

YOU really need to work on the navigation side but besiedes that i think this site has a lot of potential.

Nice
