Your Site Might Be Down

Tried to have a look at your site but after three goes at it I gave up. Maybe ISPs server is down. It's a shame after reading the other reviews I was interested to have a look.

Well it is a personal site really. So no "point" or "subject" persay. But the Poll is about games. I play a few on-line games and I host toruneys. As in squads/clans that play the game. So that is for those poeple lol. Well the space at the bottom is fixed now i believe. I am workin on the site in spare time and I always find something I dont like so i'll be in the middle of one thing and then just switch to another because I want to change it. Thx about saying I am good for being 16. Please keep checking my site to see if I can perfect it Bye guyz

It is a neat page and I really like to color scheme!!!

BUT...

What is the site about???

I still have not figured it out!...LOL

What is that poll on the right side of your page about? What does "1st Tourney", "DF:LW", "CS", "UT"??? I have no idea what you want me to choose for that? An explanation would be great! lol

The first and third columns are a bit on the wide side for the information and stuff you have in them. Making them smaller, but still the same size, would look a lot better.

There is a lot of blank space at the bottom of the page! Why?

Have a great night!

PS You are really good for only being 16!!! I am 19. You are good!...LOL

Bring on the pain (second edition)

LoL! i loved all of the negative critique I got last time that i am back for more. Well...same site. i just changed some things people mentioned. I'd like you all to visit again and tell me whats ya think. preferably on my own forums what can i say I am lazy nah but anyways. I guess i could go critique some other peeps website and make them feel bad about themself j/k

Website -----> http://www.uniquedezigns.com

Name will soon change, UniqueDezigns leans too much to a professional graphic design company. Which i can design graphics but thats not what this site is totally about.

[]Deace all~

Ok, info on me.

Well, thx for all the information. I will surely use it! For the one saying i should pay for my domain and stop breaking the namezero frame...well i use Namezero and a redirecting script. I dont break the frame. And last of all I am 16, i dont feel like gettin a domain seeing as though i do this on the side and dont really worry about it. Just wanted input on it. Now as for the website not wrking in Netscape...i dont know a hwole lot about how to fix that. And the name.. UniqueDezigns...I do make graphics, for free. I have request forms for people like my friends to ask me to make them things. But the name is mostly because i mean for my site to be different...unique in my own way..hince the colors. I really do appreciate all the input guyz.

That's quite an interesting design you've got there. The top part looks really good but I'm finding that some other things on the site don't coordinate with it as well. For example, the navigation menu is very plain and boring compared to the header area, and the serif body font doesn't work well either.

The navbar links don't work in my browser either (I'm using mozilla 0.9.5). You might want to either make it clear that your navigation won't work in Netscape browsers or find a script that does work.

I agree that having the forums hidden in the menu there is probably discouraging people from signing up. Make Forums as its own link on the navbar and put a sign-up box on the front page there.

Yeah, the colors are kind of different. I am not sure how well I like the colors though. Here are some things that you might consider.

Dont whine:

If you want people to sign up for your forums, don't try and nag them to do so. Also if you want people to sign up for your forums, you might consider putting a link to the forums. It is not extremely intuitive to click on main, to get to the forums.
English -

Quote: This website best viewed is LOW resolutions

This should say in LOW resolutions, if you even need it.
Layout and Navigation - As mentioned before your links are well hidden in the Navmenu. I would consider another type of menuing system. Maybe one that would show the links on mouseover. On your middle text boxes, you should keep the text from 'hugging the rail'.

might want to pay for that name zero name otherwise they are going to take the domain name away from you for hacking there banner

The color scheme is different, I like it, its different

the logo middle right, the background on it is a slightly different color in IE than it is in netscape, netscape shows the same as background color.

the contact me via email part doesnt have a table border in IE5 but does in Net 4.7, your code says border=1 but your using border colors which wont work in Netscape.

you have the date top left in IE, doesnt show in Netscape,
no table borders in IE, but Netscape has all table borders with outer middle table with cellpadding at 2

only thing I can really add is maybe make the center section a little wider to fill the gap and loose the scroll bar at 800x600

and I couldnt find the forums link either, your links dont work in Netscape 4.7

An imposed advertising frame *and* a popup ad, too? Sorry, the best advice I can give is that you might want to get a domain with a real host. The advertising is a real turn-off and if you're a genuine design company I can't take you seriously being hosted on a freebie site with some kind of cloaked re-direct.

The imposed frame also won't help you to get listed with search engines.
