alphoenix1788 -> Please critique (3/28/2005 14:46:44)

would you please review my website. Be objective. Tell me what do you think about it. Is anything missing? How can I improve it?

And also, what do you think of the logo?

Thanks

The website is: http://alexlavigne.xlow.net

the art work is teriffic



Spooky -> RE: Please critique (3/28/2005 15:41:55)

The menu images were a bit fuzzy for me [&:]

Nice site - well done. (inc. the 'fuzzy pic')

Comments FWIW

1. Put some interest grabbing info on the home page that will make visitors delve into the site. At the moment there is nothing to attract me further.

2. Ditto on some of the other pages - just having buttons doesn't appeal (IMHO)

3. stick some meta phrases in the home page for the search engine bots - I searched this forum for the "how to" loadsa good advice available[;)]

HTH
Cheers
Bernie

I can read the word "complications" in the logo by a process of elimination I assume the other word is "Avril". It's a bit unreadable especially the "a".

I would use a more recognizable typeface.

I would also make the navigation links change colour or background colour on "hover".

Why does the uri contain "alexlavigne" instead of "avrillavigne"?

Otherwise I like the look of the site.

Like the site. Like the music

Agree with the old fart that the title is virtually unreadable.

The site looks really good...couple things I'd change:

1) Font page has a broken picture
2) Have the buttons change color with whatever page you are currently on...it stays highlighted on Home currently
3) I had no problems reading anything personally...looks good!

I understand what you mean, but how can I do it. Is there any tutorial?



dzirkelb1 -> RE: Please critique (3/30/2005 10:14:34)

It depends on how the buttons are laid out...are they part of an include page or are they hard coded into every page? is it set up as frames?

If its part of an include page, then a possible way would be an if then statement...not sure of exact syntax to be if current page = whatever...so maybe a workaround. Create a variable on each page and call it something like home...

at top of each page put:

<%
vpage="home"
%>

on include page, put:

<%
if vpage="home" then%>
html code to highlight button
<%end if%>

put that on each button

if its hard coded into evey page, then simply highlight the button for that page.



alphoenix1788 -> RE: Please critique (3/30/2005 10:46:19)

the navigation is set up in just one page and I am using frames. So how can I accomplish this task. Because you gave me the instructions for includes.

Thanks



dzirkelb1 -> RE: Please critique (3/30/2005 16:01:50)

hrmm, maybe something like this...modify the onclick event to change a variable.

onclick="<%variable="link1"%>"

then, do the if then statement...

<%
if variable="link1" then%>
stuff
<%end if%>

hasn't been tested, but could work



d a v e -> RE: Please critique (3/30/2005 23:20:44)

why use includes when you're using a frames page?



alphoenix1788 -> RE: Please critique (3/31/2005 10:51:49)

I am not using includes in the frames page. I am using includes in the individual pages that appear in the right frame page when linked. The only include is the logo.



d a v e -> RE: Please critique (3/31/2005 11:01:22)

sorry i was bit confused because dzirkelb1 was giving instructions for includes and you said you were only using frames :)
