Website Review and Suggestions

**XanaDartZ** · 03:21 AM

Rather extensive site, built on the core of RavensNuke. Added in Flash, DHTML, and tons of other goodies. The sheer size of it made this one a bear. Over 500 articles and weird news clips. Lemme know what you think. Thanks!

CLICK ME BABY!!!

This site is looking good. One suggestion is that the colors and font size make things a little overbearing.

This page for example http://dartoidsworld.com/modules.php...howpage&pid=17 was a little hard to read because of the small font.

looking greate not sure about the BG

You should deffinitly change the background and pictures that are of really bad graphic. The menu on the right looks really bad. But I like the colors, they aren't to "slepy" and they don't hurt my eyes

very sore on the eyes unfortunately

Yeah the yellow background needs to go I'm afraid...

Nice site with lots of info, but it is too busy for my taste. Maybe you can segregate the sections with clear heading and titles.

but its not SEO friendly

The women and the pick or the elephant on the home page kept my attention and i don't like darts. So that i good.

i agree with the comments on the background of the site. I personally like the simple layout and minimal design, i think it suits your audience.
Make sure that any music on the site can be turned of and has volume control.

Regards

To tell you the truth I really don't care for the design. It looks like a 20th century website with the old flashy gifs and the page doesn't have a color scheme at all. If I were to be judging the content, then I would say that you'd expect it to be on a better looking site. If I were you I'd get rid of the "flashyness" of the logo and distinguish yourself by making something original. Designate an area for a header by giving it a seperate color/background than the rest. Do the same with the footer and the sidebars. I'd make the footer a lot smaller. It's probably the most ineffective form of advertising so if they PurePower logo could be put on a sidebar itd make it a lot more meaningful.

The site has way too much distracting elements, such as too colorful background image, animated logo and another animated image in the header.

The entire navigation is based on images, you should use only text based navigation. Or, at least provide a text-only based navigation as an alternative, you could for example put a text-only navigation bar at the very bottom of the page.

When I scroll up and down the page I really don't get any idea what the page is about, perhaps you should say in a few sentences what the site is about? That's also a good place where you could introduce yourself, something like "Hi! My name is Dartoid and this website is about ..."

The text is quite small, and with all the animation and bright colors it's very difficult to read, it almost hurts my eyes. Please consider making the texts a bit larger and maybe also using another colors.

Going to agree with other and say the background needs to go and also maybe you should work on getting some css links instead, they look and work nicer.

The animations make it feel pretty unprofessional and are very distracting.

definitely agree with drewtown
