Well first of all the intro. I like the whole concept of it but sometimes the images layer up on another and it dosent look so good. maybe you can fix that somehow and also it might be better if you made it a bit slower.

Then the website. Well i dont undertand anything of it but i really like the top banner logo thing. One problem is the shoutbox. its not as big as the box around it. itd make it a bit higher so its the same os that box.

And the last thing i have to say to maybe improve your website is that you should make the forum look a bit more like the site. I know its hard to make templates for phpBB forums but if you find one with around the same color scheme as you site and just ad the banner and navigation at the top it would look a lot better when going in the forum.

The site looks pretty good, although I don't really like red and orange together that much. I agree with sxyloverboy that the intro needs to be fixed. Try to space the images out more and make them fade in and out. You might also want to put some sort of an indication that the user should click on the images to continue viewing your site. As the forums go, I like the look of it, but it doesn't match your home page exactly. But the same exists on my site; I don't think that it's that big of a deal. Anyway, the site is pretty nice so far. Good job and keep up the good work!

I think your site looks very good for the most part. The introduction was interesting and unique and obviously tied in very well with the name of your site. I will agree that you have to make sure that the pictures don't layer one on top of the other, because then it creates a very odd looking picture. I also agree that you should maybe have the words "Click Here" somewhere around that picture scroller so that your guests know to click on that spot to continue on to the main site, because I know I waited a few seconds for it to continue on to the main site until I realized that it was repeating and that I had to click it. As for the colors of the site, they look alright, but I feel that the orange with the red makes for a slightly awkward combination. I think if you had a lighter red or pink (similar to the background color of your banner) that it might look a bit better. Otherwise, the site is very impressive and looks good.

Hello,

Um, Your website is good and all but its kinda simple like, well its your choice of course but you can get some pretty niiice templates, if you want a clan teamplate go to clantemplates.com there was another one but i forgot. You could ad a border to your logo it would look niiice. theres no more to tell ya since the site is in another language tongue.gif but its good i dont really see something that you must cahnge, its good as it is as long as the information is sorted out,| the navigation doesnt seem to work though... wink.gif maybe your still working on it smile.gif if not you got to fix it wink.gif| well thats all i got to tell ya

I like the layout of your site but I find the colors very harsh. The colors used in your header would make a much nicer combination. I agree with the others about the intro graphic, fading from one picture to another would work well and it needs something to tell the user to click the image to continue.

I don't know if it's just my browser (IE6) or the site is not finished, but I couldn't find any links on the site. Nothing in the menu appears to work for me so I couldn't comment on the rest of the site.

My other pet hate is if I have to scroll sideways to view a site. Your header is bigger than your content, either make it smaller or the same size. I also prefer a site that resizes itself with table widths expressed in percentages rather than pixel sizes. If that won't work with your layout, at least make it so the viewer doesn't have to scroll sideways to view the site in 800 x 600 resolution, this is usually the lowest resolution most people use. I use 800 x 600 because I have tired old eyes and not a very good monitor.

As for advice about what HTML editor to use, I'd suggest moving away from WYSIWYG editors. They will not teach you much about html because you don't actually write the code. Another drawback with WYSIWYG editors is they tend to add a lot of unnecessary code, below is an example from your site.

CODE
<tr>
           <small></small>
           <td align="center" bgcolor="#ff0000" height="20" valign="middle">
           <small>Ljubavno gnezdo<br>
           </small></td>
           <small></small>
         </tr>


The 2 "<small></small>" tags above and below the "<td>" tags serve no purpose and shouldn't be there. What this does is makes your site bigger and slower to load than it needs to be.

There a lots of free editors available, try a search for "html editor" at somewhere like Tucows and look for the "freeware" programs. You might need to try a few programs to find one you like, but with the number available you're sure to find one. Don't be scared to experiment, html is relatively easy once you understand the basics.

Looks okay to me, although I think your choice of colors are too bright. I've gotten comments on my forum that its colors were too bright, although I never thought they were (never affected my eyes). But your site makes my eyes squint, so if you cahnge anything, maybe change your colors.

the intro was my favorite thing about the site, Very cool idea. As far of the site I'm a hug fan of keeping it simple, So I liked your layout as well, great job on the site mate.
