Hey, I am working on a website and I was wandering what you guys/girls thought of it. Here is the link: http://chesspieces.byethost9.com/Dragon%20Designs/ I try to make a good but fast and simple to use interface. Tell me what you think and if any changes should be done. Thanks!

put in some content, and that overflow on header is not cool at all
keep up the good work...

Using Courier for the font makes the site look a little outdated, and having the links overflow onto two lines, with the majority of the second line hidden, is not a good idea. Try designing a good looking header image and fixing the links and you will greatly improve the look of the site.

How does a font make the site look outdated?
And the thing with the overflow it will be removed. Still testing it and such.

it's the question of taste. if you like it that way, live it that way if you don't change it. don't let someone elses opinion make you change site looks. first person who needs to like your site is you, then others..
making site look the same in all browsers is your first priority, content should be the second, and after that looks.. if it's gonna be your personal site keep personal looks, but later if you have some kind of community on your site you could probably ask members for suggestions, and design. Well that's what i would do

I agree with matak... It's your site after all, and you are the one who's supposed to like it first.

But the thing is you asked for opinions, and people were just saying theirs..

Anyways..good work mate, but that overflow-scroll thing should be your first priority to remove from both the header and the footer.

And about the font..I don't know.. but seriously there's many other fonts that would look much better than Courier.
But if you think that it is what you want, just leave it as it is... It's not THAT bad.

I agree with the comments posted above. Design wise, it's your site so you should be the one to decide how you want it to look. (When I'm creating my websites, I always make them the way I want them and use the colours and fonts I wish to use). Once you've decided how to design it you could then ask for users to decide on colours and/or fonts just so you can fine tune it, if you wanted your users to have a say on the site's design.

I don't think I can comment on it a great deal without the content being included. The content would allow me to view the website the way it would be displayed if it was finished. At the moment, I feel the website looks bare, there isn't really a lot to comment on.

There are a couple of things i don't really like about this website. I don't like the vertical scroll bar on the header (which includes the dragon designs title). Only other thing I'm not to keen on is the font. I feel the same way about this as mystixs does. Nowadays, fonts like the one you have used are basic and old. I quite like Helvetica. At the end of the day, it's all down to personal preference. As I said above and as some of the other users have said, build for yourself not for others.
