Positive comments would help... I'm not in the best of moods today.

Doing this for a friend and his band. I'm showing it to him tomorrow. Hope he likes it.

And yes this was with Image ready for those who ask.

well... if you were just looking for people to blow sunshine up your bum you probably shouldn't have posted.

but since you did...

it takes an awfully long time for the colors to change on the mouseover... it was just a fluke that i noticed that they actually change. and the corresponding text should be changed as well imo. the ovals also seem a bit jaggie to me.

the other issue i have is with the size so i'll not comment....

Ah yes I plan to preload the images so you don't have to wait for them to change when mouse over...

If the images change any faster its too noticable. Its not a smooth change, its a pop pop pop. Jaggies? I'll see what I can do. My friend's not really looking for quality, just summat that works. This isn't gonna be a .com its gonna be a .geocities so...

What do you mean by the text should be changed corrispondingly? As in fading?

Ok.

I have to heartily second Lacuna's first statement.
I also have to say that you really won't get oo many positive comments at this point.

Basicaly what you have is a combination of bad layer effects, over compressed images with jaggies all over, a bland visual presentation on a plian white background with absolutely no indication of what the content might look like, or enough of a visual cue to imagine the rest, some very over complicated tables in the code, and......

and....not anything else.

I'm really not sure what you want out of this review. I understand that everyone has to start somewhere, and I have definately seen worse starts. but if you want an honest opinion on how this will actually stand up as a web page, well the answer is "pretty poorly".

Saying that your friend doesn't care about quality is just a cheap cop-out quite frankly. If you care at all about your own work, you'll make it quality. If you don't, then stop trying right now, because it ain't worth it.

And please, don't use the term "summat", whatever the fuck that's supposed to mean...............

I mean...are praying to ancient sumerian gods...or...?

Oy no the backgrounds just cuz I forgot to change it. Didn't have time. And this is just a test run on the banner to see if he likes it. I'm going to change the background to a tan color and have more text, its just "Lorum ispum" has always annoyed me. I'll try to fix the jaggies etc. He wanted kind of a plain look.

So, um, how much do you charge for that sort of thing anyway? Just wondering.

*ahem*

As for the image itself... well, "overblown" is the first word that comes to mind. The background... overblown, the rollovers... overblown. Just a whole lot of, well, "bad layer effects" is a pretty apt description. Sorry I don't really have anything new to add.

I would also try to avoid the "Mistery Meat" navigation. It's not clear at a glance that the indents are buttons. Expecially for non-web savy vistors. As it stands you have to hover over each button or rember which button links belong too, way too much work and not intuitive.

Perhap leave the text constant and highlight the buttons when you pass over the text, but that might case issues with guests trying to click on the buttons, so I would make both clickable or simply add some kind of icon or indication what the buttons do.

I had tried doing a lighting effects and couldn't quite get it right... And then I tried doing it by hand. AUGH! UGLY! Then I tried as a last resort layer effects. Ok it works.

Thanks for the ideas about "mystery meat" navigation. I'll fix that. Maybe have the text at 75% and then pop to 100% on rollover?

[Edit]

Oh, and I'm not charging anything. First - Its not good enough. Second - Its a friend.

Lacuna: What, "dirty bastard"? Eh, I've been called worse. And I don't see you getting in a huff over it either.

DL: It's not the word so much as it is the twisted and sick imagination behind it...

Sorry, Ruku. I feel for you, I really do, but thread closing is a pretty serious affair around here. The best thing to do is just let it fade away. And on that note, I'm outta here.

Yes, as a matter of fact, there are hijacking rules. Well, one rule, actually: hijack vigorously and often.

What do you mean that's not a rule?
