Website Review and Suggestions

**xprmnt** · 05-31-2007, 10:30 AM

Please review my latest
Faya architecture in Athens Greece

I just wanted a fancy look, but it probably does not validate (have not checked) so I would appreciate moslty reviews focusing on the way the site is presented to the visitor.

Thanks

Well it looks good. The navigation is a bit tricky to me as you have to hit projects i guess to get back to the main list. Also everything seems too small to get the full effect of architecture.

when you say small do you mean the letters, or the actual pictures on the gallery ? the whole layout ?
What is your screen resolution (bigger resolutions may make a site look smaller in my opinion)

σ'αρεσι πολι!

but you might want to make the content a little bigger, as it looks somewhat small on a 1024x768 screen
and it seems the picture quality may have slightly degraded (or they weren't high resolution to begin with) so they look a little fuzzy; maybe you can replace them?

all in all, πολι καλα!

Im on a widescreen laptop, but I feel like your content should be big enough under all resolutions.

****!! it looks kickass!! really nice with the pic buttons.. U have a tutorial laying around somewhere? im sounding more noob then i am but i really digged that picture navigation

when i visit you site first time i got some problem because i don't know how to go your main site until i see small arrow i think if you make biger arrow or change your idea is make easy to main site i think is good

Thanks everyone for the comments

My resolution is 1400x1050 and I don't find it all that small, remember big is not always better

and you have to remember its more of an artistic site, like a business card of an architect on the internet.

@wlripper, you can just dig in the source code if you know some javascript
I use jquery and my part is pretty much in the index.html but you have to also download the jquery and some other libraries for it to function properly

You can use it as is just change the relevant content, but please give me some credit somewhere

I know bigger is not always better but would you want people to see your architecture fully? All I can see is a few tiny rooms and with the mouse hovered over the navigation I cant really see anything..

HighAndDry,
what is your resolution ?

**highanddry** · 02:14 AM

make it bigger! I love the flash, but I wish I could see the full scale effect of your site. The architecture is the primary content, then accentuate it. Don't get me wrong, this site is better than most i review, i just think everything is too hard to discern.

**xprmnt** · 06-02-2007, 01:17 PM

But its not flash
WHy can't you tell me your resolution highanddry, its not a secret is it ?

**highanddry** · 09:57 PM

Haha, I don't know why I wrote "flash." I knew I shouldn't post while drinking..My resolution is 1440x900 the thing is, I don't think resolution should be a huge factor because every site I frequent looks big enough on my resolution as well as any other.

**wlripper** · 06-02-2007, 06:06 PM

XP of course U get some creds man

sure thing.. already tried your settings and got them to work properly.. now its my imagination that sets the limits

flash.. hmm lol! if you know what to do.. dont complain about something just to complain.. I have 2048 x1024 and it looks great here.. if you are going to complain about something make sure to do a better job highanddry

XP it looks great dont change a thing!! ah well maybe then.. make the pics a bit brighter so the twinkle more.. other then that I cant find anything I can complain about. thats not really a complaint its more like of a suggestion m8

**highanddry** · 09:57 PM

Yeah I should stick to complaining about your sites Wlripper, but wouldn't that be too easy of a target?

Its not that I didn't give credit where its due, I said it looked really good with one exception. I was stating my opinion that it is too small and I do have the experience in development/review to make that statement. Now i'm on a different computer and my opinion is that it is too small

Good Work

Jacob,
No worries, point well taken, no need to argue about that,
I am going to leave it as is anyway for the time being, customer requirement

Thank all of you for comments
