I'd like to know what you all think and how I can improve upon it. Not all of the links work, and not all of the pages are finished, but you should get the idea of it. Thanks

BobbyDouglas Posts: 5470 Joined: 5/15/2003 From: Arizona Status: offline	RE: Critique my site please - 5/14/2004 18:43:00 Try adding some pictures on the front page that deal with Cricket. The template looks ok, but seems a little bit too plain for my taste. I like the way the header is setup, but I think the navigation could use some work. I would try to implement something like Cell Background Color Change into the navigation so it looks better. ON the right hand side, Latest News, should be Centered, maybe black, and definately bold. Remove the table border that is around: Latest News Mark Collins PB I really think it drains your eyes when you look at it. Only other thing I could suggest is have the right column be 100% in height so it takes up the entire height of the page, just like the left side. _____________________________ Arizona Web Design - Mr Bobs Web Design in Arizona The Arizona Web Hosting Challenge (in reply to BobbyDouglas)

I'd go with those colours. Front page needs a photo to liven it up. I'm assuming the other pages aren't finished as the gallery and the links don't work. Good start. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is. GAWDS Now where did I put that Doctype? (in reply to BobbyDouglas)

Just do a google image search on the word "cricket" to give yourself some ideas. Also the table on the right (latest results) could do with some cell padding. It always looks nicer if the words aren't right up against the edge. I think JB has a point about the colour scheme, it doesn't say "Cricket " to me when I look at it, it's not exciting enough. < Message edited by Donkey -- 5/15/2004 12:42:38 > _____________________________ I have a higher and grander standard of principle than George Washington.

jaybee Posts: 14191 Joined: 10/7/2003 From: Berkshire, UK Status: offline	RE: Critique my site please - 5/15/2004 9:10:33 Guaranteed to put me to sleep but luckily, the web site doesn't seem to have the same effect. Colour wise, I'm thinking of the ideal of cricket. Sunshine, bat on ball, men in whites, nice green pitch. Maybe a grass effect side bar, or willow symbolising the bat. If we went with the reality then he'd have dirty greys and puddles _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is. GAWDS Now where did I put that Doctype?

jaybee Posts: 14191 Joined: 10/7/2003 From: Berkshire, UK Status: offline	RE: Critique my site please - 5/16/2004 5:24:20 Post game drinking! Cricket.... you drink all the way through the game. That's what makes it bearable. < Message edited by jaybee -- 5/16/2004 10:25:04 > _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is. GAWDS Now where did I put that Doctype?

Such heresy from an Englishman,

, is this why you are exiled in Finland?

We obviously need to send out more missionaries to save you poor misguided people from this game that is even more boring than cricket.

Go figure. Please, no sports missionaries. We have enough sports as it is and it sucks that a professional "athlete" makes gobs more money than a real hero, like a firefighter, police officer, or high school teacher. Grrr... Re: the topic at hand: please remove the period at the end of your title, and I agree with the group; the color scheme does not work....and yes, get some pictures on there. < Message edited by Peppergal -- 5/16/2004 13:10:49 > _____________________________ Northeast PA / Poconos/ Lake Wallenpaupack Real Estate wallenpaupacklakeproperty.com Karen's Real Estate Blog (in reply to d a v e)
