Work on your resources first before building a website.
Compress them then gzip them.

Yea, unfortunately it isn't friendly on bandwidth, gonna compress a lot of the stuff later, and remove some of the ugly backgrounds.

Thanks for the input on bandwidth, will try to take it down to less than a mb.


RE: My website :) - bluedog.tar.gz - 09-20-2013

Other then that, what is the use of the site for?


RE: My website :) - shock - 09-20-2013

Just decided to see how cheap and how well I can design a website Smile

Current cost per year: R35 Biggrin (around $3.5)

I would simply throw this website into the trash can! First, this is bad, bad bad bad! It took me 10 seconds to load the website properly. Also you haven't taking other screen resolutions into consideration. I tried this out with a screen resolution on 1280 x 700 and I had several menu items move down to a new line.

To point out a few things:

1. Don't change the courser, it's looks REALLY unprofessional.
2. Forget about the moving background. Its immature, disturbing and takes up a whole lot of bandwidth.
3. You have too many menu items, put them into a sub-menu man.
4. At the end of the home screen, you have the website to move from two columns to one? why?
5. DONT WRITE IN CAPS! example "Websites I've Made Smile"
6. No smiley's in the menu!

You have a lot to learn about web graphic and user interaction. Also, about the loading speed, this is something you get highly rated on and if it wasn't because of my review I wouldn't have waited for your website to load. I simply would have moved on and forget about it.

Thanks for the advice! I will go and change some of those things and fix them up.

Design are not just the looks, design is also user experience.

Some very important points;
  • Balance
  • Grid
  • Colors
  • Write smart, use CSS instead of images. etc
  • Typography
  • Line height & White space
