Preserved Topic: Finally new pages...

Hey there! I'd need to get some commments of my new pages graphics.... http://www.mbnet.fi/~powder

-Time is always against me-

I love the download speed cuz I run a 33.6 modem. However the graphics are a bit to minimalistic for my taste.

there's a lot for me to look at and i'm not going in order... so i'm just gonna slap up random comments as i plow through the stuff.

first off, the "splash" page and "selection" page are a little bland for my tastes... in fact, if you're going to even have a splash page, i'd make it way more interesting/interactive. a nicely pieced composition of one of your snowboarding pictures would look great as the splash page.

next i headed to the snowboarding section. i'm sure you know none of the results links work, but i'd like to see more work done on the picture part. when you select a picture and it pops up in a new window, that new window should have it's size pre-defined and should be minimal in functions offered by the browser.. i mean, get rid of the scroll bar and all the tools from the top--exactly how it's done in the first pop-up window.

in your portfolio, only one of the links works... and i would say have the links show up in a completely new, full-sized window.

oh yeah, another thing real quick... i'm not a big fan of "times" as a font and that's all you use in your site. at the least, i'd try to play with different fonts in different areas. there's always 'courier,' 'arial,' and so on.. change it up a little bit.

well i guess that's about all there is to go through right now. i don't mean to sound like a critical dick or anything, i was just focusing on things that i feel could use a little more attention. right now i've liked where your page has started and i realize it's a new design, so with a little more time and effort you're going to have something very nice on your hands.

Nice concept nt....Personally, I would totally redesign it to be more agressive, yet tasteful, rad yet under control dig?

After all isn't snowboarding an *extreme* sport? Build it with your target audience in mind as well.

Hey good point 2swinpapa! do have any example page of extreme???

Hey 2swinpapa that wa an exellent point!!! Do you have any example page of an extreme???

Well I kicked my resolution down to 640*400 to see what it looked like small... and it was still a bit narrow. I would make the tables a bit larger... and not do the navy to silver mouse over, you lose the letters into the BG.

The main graphic on the pages is a good one, don't hesitate to make it longer, and maybe that will allow some more clarity one the lettering.

You need to remember to be proud of your site name, you want people to remember it, so make it stick out!

For snowboarding?? I thought that there would be a gazillion of those out there for you to draw inspiration from!

I'm in an entirely different genre so I can't actually hold your hand and show ya, but search the web...I'm sure there are ton's of examples out there.

I'm picturing a faily close-in shot of a snowboarder making a hard cutback and really kicking up the powder.....turning that into an image map and rollover images to diffferent links/pages on your site!

The sky in the background can be wild and explode with cool colors.....
