Please rate my site. Tell me what you think. What do you like about it? What don't you like about it? Also, tell me what I could do to improve it, and what I could do to keep my unique visitors. It seems as though once they leave, they don't come back.
Okay, a little background about it, and why I chose the design. I wanted a simple site, obviously. I didn't want to go all out on the graphics as it takes forever to load on dialup. I coded everything myself with the exception of the blog. Umm, that's about it.
I'm also thinking on a new design. Maybe one that's not quite dark....I don't know. Lemme know all your thoughts.
Thanks. |

Good site, even fell like testing out those programs especially the Hangman one. You could use more images on your home page by the way.

Nice easy layout but you definitely need a banner image at the top of the page to put your websites name and something to attract the users eye. Besides that, i would just add more content which is the best way to keep unique visitors. Plus, if you update the site more frequently people will come back to it more often to see what has been added.

The layout is ok, fairly plain but its neat and loads nice and fast. You got some pretty interesting links. Its nice to keep your site interactive, that will get people coming back for more.

The best way to keep visitors is to update the site regularly and have something that will encourage them to return, for example a high scores list for some of the games or a forum. The layout is simple, but it loads quickly and is easy to understand.

The page is really nice, it loads fast and all, but I think it needs to be more eye catchy. Add another color to the whole design, you can also try rounding some of the content boxes, or adding a gradient or shine. When I look at the page It just makes me sort of turn away from It. Maybe because there is too much text. It looks like you update it very often so that isnt the problem. Maybe you should try a 3 column layout, move the shoutbox and the affiliates to the new column so the visitors can find it quickly instead of scrolling all the way down. Also, you could try and keep less dates on the first page. Hope This helps

I just can say that the site is very cool, but the color is really catchy like flakes said before.

I find the font you've used way too hard to read (particularly the footer links). I think it's a fairly well-established web design maxim that serif fonts aren't the easiest read to on a screen.

Thank you all for the insightful comments. I think I'm gonna go for a whole different design overall, but that will be a couple of months from now as I have over 200 pages.  Bad coding techniques.... QUOTE(Tyssen @ Jun 2 2005, 09:29 AM) I think it's a fairly well-established web design maxim that serif fonts aren't the easiest read to on a screen. Thanks. I was thinking that the font is kind of hard to read and that I should change it. (But I didn't use a serif font for the majority of my site - it was monospace). I'll change it to something more elegant and professional.

Two things has come to my mind while viewing your site. The first, and I do agree with most of the guys, you could do with a better color combination (try red and grey). Secondly, and I'm not sure if anybody experienced it, on your main page the blogs are not aligned with the menu items on the right. First I see the menu items (on the right), then when I go down the page (until the last menu item), the blog starts on the left side. Is this correct, or am I the only one experiencing this??! Nevertheless, everything else seems to be in order. Congrats.

QUOTE(Ralphie @ Jun 17 2005, 02:40 AM) contrary to what some have said, i do not like the layout. i dont like the green and black colors. personally i like lighter colored layouts more often but there are some dark ones that i do like. i dont like the boarder you have on the banner either. mainly i dont like the colors. but you do have a lot of content and that is very good to keep someone looking through your site. all i suggest is to make a new template, but i know that can be a lot of work. i dont mean to be harsh in any way, but that is my opinion. Thanks for your honest opinion. I really appreciate it. After looking at my site for a while, it does get hard to read everything, so I made a new template: http://sang.trap17.com/wordpress/. The new template will go into effect as soon as I edit all the pages in my website, which will take quite a while because of all those games.

Great design! Maybe the problem are the colours, acid green on black...yes looks great, but it's hard to look all the time in such a contrast. Maybe is that the reason why people don't come back.
