It really is terrible though.

Forte · 10-26-2005, 10:39 PM

telling me specefic things that are terrible about it would be a little more helpful.

For a start:

*Center the text on ALL the buttons.

*Limit your website to no more than 3 main colours. Make sure they match.
(This includes buttons)

*Make sure the banners and headings have anti-aliased text. It looks really ugly without.

*Don't use more than 2 typefaces (a.k.a fonts ....Use one if you can, but ONLY two if you MUST) and make sure those two match. Your current choices could be improved. You should only really need one font because of the lack of text on your site anyway.

*Sort out the borders around the links...Make them all match.

*I'd look into making the general layout look more interesting and less "half-assed." Black and white is really quite boring when it's used like that. Throw in a colour.

*The anti-aliasing throughout really bugs me....

....Fix that and then show us how you go with it... freak:

put a table around the whole lot and centre it.

Make it look more appealing - add colours rather than black and white.

Like trip said, try to use only 1 font

You need something at the bottom to finish off the design.

thanks. this is actually very helpful.
I prefer the look of black and white over everything. considering everything on the website will be grayscale, except for those links at the top.

what are you using to do the scripting? directly from photoshop? Id recommend using Dreamweaver to do all the finite stuff, like creating the table and centering it. or you could edit the code directly

[code:3529a]<table width="779" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
[/code:3529a]

this is the line you need to edit at the top, copy and paste it if you want, notice i added the align="center"

Also for the color button links at the top, create a second set, grayscale, and create a mouse over, that would fade them into color, that will look better. Use dreamweaver if you can to do the coding or Google for the script to do that, i cant think of what it is, but as far as i know youd edit the CSS file to do so
