That shit is nice.

I can't really tell you if it's an improvement, since I never went to your site before, but I'd say it's a keeper.

That's looking pretty good. The splash screen kind of bothers me because it's so plain and the scrollbar shows up for the x and y axis and it irks me a bit because I don't want to scroll then click to enter a site, if you know what I mean. But after that, what you have going is really good. I like the colors you used. For your navigation at the bottom, you should put rollovers on there, and if you want a code for it so you don't have to alter the whole template, I can help you out with that if you want. But this is definitely a good setup and everything.


Yeah, I might just resize down to it's original size and I'll probally just leave the bottom links like that until I change the layout again. Thanks though. biggrin.gif

I'm glad there's a "skip intro" link now. I don't think you had one the last couple times I went to your site, and it always kinda irritated me that I had to go through the whole thing.

The layout looks really good. It's not really my kind of thing, but it's nice, neat, and clean. :D

Thanks. biggrin.gif Yeah, I realized that it would be so much easier to have a "skip intro" link and I thought a new intro would "compliment" the new update.

It doesn't look that bad. It's not my taste cause it just looks a bunch of brushes on the back, but its not bad.

Although, I noticed that the gradient background headers are different.

Myspace header, gradient doesn't look similar as latest update/affiliates or graphics/resources. There are 3 different shades. I think it's best to make it the same gradient, keep consistency.

I'm not really one for long splash screens unless they're somewhat necessary (listing your entire web network and such), so that bit annoys me. I know you can skip it, but that link is hidden unless the user scrolls down the page and not everyone will think of that.

Also, is the site layout supposed to be centered? It's not, which makes me sad. :( It could look so much nicer on bigger resolutions, rather than looking like you meant it to be in the centre and having it way off to the left.

Well its still a div and has a scroll bar instead of the page lengthening but its cool bro! I would also suggest centering the whole page.
Just put margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; in the css for either body or like a container.
And try and make more content that other sites dont have!
Like wallpapers!
And on the wallpaper previews get rid of the watermark cause i thought that would be in the wallpaper which is why i wouldnt have downloaded any.
And it looks like you are just stretching or resizing the wallpapers so the qauility looks prety bad on some.

That's weird. I don't have to scroll to see the "skip intro" link. huh.gif Anyways, I like the intro; very simple. I agree on the brushes thing. But it's your thing now. I think the main content area is a bit too big because you can barely see the brushes behind it. I like the gradients you did on the "graphics" area. However I think you should use those gradients for all the tables because like Sang said, it's best to keep consistency. All in all, I think it's clean & organized. I've never been to your site either but it looks good. flowers.gif

O the contact page looks weird.
Put the code i gave u in a table and center the table so each little section will be aligned.
And when u make an error you didnt make it so it shows it in the content but thats hard to do.

For real? I though that a <center> tag would make it centered? Can you give me a screenshot? Also, yeah I tried to make the error display in the content area but ehh, I just decided not to. _smile.gif

You have to use a bunch of php and includes.
it gets confusing.

it looks like this:


as apposed to:



Which looks much better and more professional.

I like the introduction, but you have to scroll down to see the next line of words that pop up. Other than that it's pretty sweet!

I like the flash intro but your layout doesn't match it.

The flash looks professional and all, then you see the layout which is more like "...oh..."

Not trying to be harsh or anything...

^Yeah, I've been working on a new layout but it's still not finished. I'll post a topic with the new layout once I'm done with it.
