I have done this website for the past 7 years and I have finally gotten it to where I am willing to get it critiqued. So would you please critique it and tell me what needs to be done and what you like about it.

The Site

The design is pretty simple for someone whose said that they've worked on it for 7 years. However its very neat and tidy. however the content for the tabs could use a little excitement.

I think it is spam.

it appears that all the form may do, is send an email to someone with the users ip address. be careful.

I am going to be really honest with the critique. When you initially see the site, there is a single textbox in the middle of the page, usually this provokes a "this is a scam site, get out of here" for me. I was initially thrown off by the front page, add some pictures of students and other things on the home page to make it more user friendly. Also, the navigation is boring and dull. The CSS styling for the content is very bland, the colors also do not attract attention.

7 years? really? it is very simple.
I honestly can't believe this took you seven years.

also you are using a lot of images, and images where you could have used text. It looks like you are overcomplicating a very simple design.

Joseph, we already warned you once for double posting so try and not do it anymore. hammer.gif


Yeah this is beyond plain, tbh. Use more interesting fonts, add some rollovers, an just add some personality to the layout.

I like how the header's shape is formed.



Like everyone said, the site does seem plain. I do see potential in this site, you just have so many things to work with. _unsure.gif

this is like lvl 2 in layout making in my opinion, but this isnt bad.

the linkage could use more style; as in color, changing the font or images for the links instead.

For your type of website, i think there should be more content some how.

but this is my opinion anyways.
