Hello Airiox and welcome to OutFront. I've had a very quick look at your site and have come up with the following for starters -

I would do something about the logo section of the site - all those diagonal stripes made my eyes go funny :) Also try to add something to the right hand side of the title section. It looks a bit bare.

There seems to be a big grey space below the title section.

When I move the mouse over the menu items, they change to virtually the same colour as the background. Personally I would change that colour to either the blue of orange you have used elsewhere.

A lot of your menu links either aren't working or are linking to blank pages and the forum link takes you right out of your site. It might be better if you open the forum in a new window.

Finally, I have to scroll across when viewed at 800x600.

Andy

I agree with Andy..and a little tip on writing: keep your "person " strait (1st, 2nd etc.)
You are Jack Carver, a boat captain, who thinks he is out for a stroll with a lovely lady. Boy is he wrong. He finds himself on an island owned by a mad scientist, bent to be the world most powerful figure. Can you stop this mad man from destroying the world? Can you get off the island and with your life?
be consistent..do you want the reader to imagine he/she is Jack? then it should be "you" throughout.

Well thanks for both of your helpful tips. I really wrote than passage in haste so I didn't catch that Ill fix it soon.

The forum is still in progress I am about to start the processes of making my own design for it and incorporate it into my main layout.

Thanks for the link and top suggestion i will fix that.

Blank pages are blank because there is nothing in them at the time. Next week there will be.

800X600, I designed it knowing those with monitors lower than 15" wouldn't be able to view it properly.

Does anyone still actually use a sub 15" monitor?

Keep the suggestions coming.

I viewed the site at work using a 17" monitor at 800 x 600 and still had to scroll. No problems at 1024 x 768 though.

airiox,

you have a header graphic at 960+ pixels and your table set to 990 pixels.

You are going to run into problems with everybody set to 800x600, regardless of monitor size.

Consider setting your table size to per cent - either 100% to fill the whole page or to a smaller per cent and then centering your table. This will accomodate all screen resolutions by stretching to fit.

However, when you do this, you have to remember to keep the elements - images, borders, etc.. -within that table to under 800 pixels total. You won't have the scroll bar, but the look, spacing and "white space" will be a bit different in the two resolutions.

That means you have to change your header banner image and you might want to consider creating a background of those stripes and filling in your cells that way. That is if you "must" really use those stripes in the banner.
