I like the design www.iwon.com uses is really good. You might check out www.coolhomepages.com for some more examples.

I don't seem to be able to get it right for all of you people.
Could you all please list what you think are the best designed, laid out and colored sites on the internet?

Thanks
Daniel

1) The site scrolls 1 pixel for me on 800x600 resolution. I think the top bar may be a little too wide.

2) The logo needs some work. It's too boring, and the font looks like it was hand made. For a portal site it needs to be really eye catching, so people remember the name and come back.

3) I usually like greys, but definitely not for this portal site. They need to keep the user there, so the colors have to be nice and cheerful. Overall you need more colors.

I don't like the new version at all.

Wel, I liked the layout, colors, images. But it took a litle while to load on the bottom part of the page (and i'm on a cable modem).

So you may want to check that out.

Hello Again,

I have done a complete work over of both the colors and the design, could you all please go and re-review my website.

Thanks

The logo looks better as a graphic, but the font doesn't go with the rest of the site. Try a different one. Also, you might want to add a slogan or something so it fills up the whole top part.

Thank-you very much for all the comments thus far.
I have changed a few things around and hope you can add comments on those.
1) I removed the www.spotway.com at the top.
2) I changed SPOTWAY at the top into a graphic SPOTWAY.COM
3) I changed the colors around slightly on all pages, and did a few major changes on the Search and Directory pages.

Please have another look around and find what you can comment on.

Thanks.

I disagree about the mouseovers - red on light and medium blue is rather hard to read.

I also agree that there's a little bit too much blue. Maybe you should give the main content area a white background, or incorporate some of the yellow and green in your logo. As I've said before, pale, monochromatic colour schemes can be difficult when you've got ads - the bright, colourful ads really stand out against your shades of blue. I guess it could help if you're counting on click throughs to earn money, but it does detract from the content

Actually, I would get rid of the two lighter blue's and incorporate white, yellow, and green (from the logo) instead. It would probably require quite a lot of change to the design though...

Also, narrow your main table just a little bit to show more of the background.

On the sub-pages, move your main content away from the edge of the main table. Also do something about that grey background. Hmmm... I really think that you should set this up more like Yahoo! does, unless you put the grey part on the right.
