Fansite Review

[ldraus15]

I have a basic layout and started putting in content, just wanted to see what people thought of the site so far....

Maybe it's the background. It's killing my eyes.

The words are really hard to see; you have to make it functional for everyone and I am halfway blind.

cool site. I think its pretty good though the text might be a bit too small on the navigation menu.
Keep up the good work

Check out my site and give me some critics on it

I updated the look a little, hope it is easier to see type.

Add some space between menu items on the right.

By the way, that gray looks too cold and boring.

Its not a bad site by any means, but I do think that there are some small changes that would greatly improve it. Increasing the size of the text and making the text area larger would both improve readibility, and changing the color scheme or the format of the page would make it more visually interesting. That said, you need to add content to your site in order to make it a successful site.

If it was my first time to see your site I would not be able to know it is a fansite for Gundam.

I know it is about Gundam but I expect to see "Gundam Fansite" or some thing else to know it is a fan site for Gundam.

Hope this helps.

You can also check out a fansite I made at http://pochhub.x10hosting.com/

Thanks.

Might be worth grabbing a passing artist with a copy of photoshop or Gimp to give the artwork and background images a more glossy look or metallic sheen. Never hurts to try and swap favours over at 'Worth1000.com' or 'deviantart.com' as artists make lousy web designers and vice versa.

Slow initial loading of the splash intro page stems from trying to use an 800x600 image with a file size of 194Kb.. alas no easy fix for that. There are three things that could be done, one is fairly simple the others are more involved needing some serious image editing, CSS and slicing.

1. Use a low resolution black and white image with the lowsrc attribute, this will load quickly before the main image giving visitors something to look at while the colour image arrives.

<img src="splash_colour.gif" width="800px" height="600px" lowsrc="splash_plain.gif" />
