Site is: www.xbuw.com
It is like a xbox fansite. 100% created by me. Using scripts found on the net and designing them. Tell me what you think!

I love the use of video, and the overall set up.

If I were you I'd change the Logo a bit. The site looks pro, but the logo does not.

Not had chance to check out the code etc, but on face value its a good clean layout, well worked and good colours.

Only bone to pick is at my res (1280x1024) the content looks stretched out and doesn't flow to well.

But that would be nit picking (all sites have something that could be changed) of an overall good site.

You using some sort of CMS seems to be that way with the general layout.

I never knew that people used 1280x1024. I fixed the problem.

About the logo. You have to look at it for a minute. There is something special about it. I will try to make a new one.

Nice site I was also pleasantly surprised to see it's coded to XHTML Strict and it validates - nice job !

My only comment on the code is you seem to have a serious case of div-itis going on. Overall it's pretty good though.

Thanks.... I know the DIVS are killing. I got sick and tried of coding each post in manuel html. So i got a WYSIWYG. It is "quick and dirty".

All that whitespace is really unappealing.

Yeah my flat panel defaults to that, any other resolution and the screen picture is really stretched and poor quality (and I'm sure i'm not the only one out there with a flat panel that defaults to that. Just something to keep in mind).

good site. The current main story affected me(regarding the x-box). I have had just got 3 lights on my x-box!! I pressed read more....and i've got to register. why?

Anyway. the design looks nice. I think some of the text could be brought down in size a liitle and the design lacks attention to detail in some areas.

you need to register in order to post comments. But if you are just reading more of the story. There is no problem.

This is what it says. I think you read it wrong.

It's nice. Personally, the header logo looks kinda bland to me, but it fits the colors of the page. I also noticed at the bottom to the left that the Google ads and syndication forces additional scroll down to reach the bottom of the page. I would have to give it a B+ , then again my site is very plain and I am not a certified web grader, .

Site looks good but I don't like the logo - seems a little too small and bland to me, especially when contrasted to the size of the "cool deal" background.

Overall I like the site...My suggestions would be to add some images. Too much text may deter people from reading. There is definately good content in the site. I give it a thumbs up!

Thank you people for your nice reviews. The site now has a width of 1024px. If your screen is 1024px, you willl not be affected. But for people with bigger screens like me, the site will look better. I have also got rid of the white background by accident. But i like it, so i am going to keep it.
