Hello. I am new here to trap17.com and would really like some input on my site. Echo Of Thunder Made using Dream Weaver and note pad. Planning on a better forum and chat page as time goes by. This is just a little hobby that I have. "weather" and I hope that you all here at trap17 will take a look see, and tell me what you all think.
Its a cool website Tbh, i'd give it a 9 out of 10. It's clear, and straight to the point. No faffing around, no havign to look for stuff. Which I love in websites the colour schemes cool, and I like the use of the interactive charts and stuff.
Two things however: Logo - Its a cool logo, but it should flash on for longer...and maybe add some lightning forks to it
The Auto Play on the radio/song/whatever - I only dislike this, because it played over my music
I have tried to visite your web site, but it says "You need to install Java to view all content on this page. Do you want to download Java now?". So I need to install Java to view your website. If any day I install Java, I will try to visite your site again. Hop that time I will find a better forum and chat page there. Wish your success.
The website is meh. I personally hate images for backgrounds, they just make it look meh. Also, the way the content is positioned looks really bad. If this is your first website then it is decent. But I would work on it a bit more. Try to find some CSS layouts and make it not be so long, but make it have overflow and stuff like that.
I don't really know what to say about it. To be honest, I can't think of much that I liked. No offense.
I'm not going to talk about the content/purpose of the website at all, Because that stuff is all subjective. Well, more subjective than the rest.
Anyway, the whole site just has a VERY late 90's feel to it. Hell, That's the kind of site I was making back in Grade 5 when I spent all day on Neopets.
In fact, I think the navigation menu and the banner at the top of the page were taken from pre-made sources that I used to USE on Neopets stuff.
Also, the background doesn't help. It just doesn't seem to be in the standardly accepted style anymore to have a background -image- directly behind the content. Maybe if the body image was behind a Div or even a table, but not directly behind the text.
Also, I'd consider breaking the index up into more pages. And taking away the centered everything.
It makes it look really tacky... And as I said before, like a personal website site from the late 90's.
Sorry I couldn't say anything better :/ I actually came into this wanting to say something positive xD

Other than that though, very cool website
Try to use a CMS system, it will be a better result
Well thank you all, Some good things and some bad, which I don't really mind. that much. In time the site will get better I know. And yes Java is required. As for the background, just something that I had been playing with in PSP. Really don't care for the raindrops and lightening myself, but really dont care for a soild BG too, so kinda stuck with it for now.
and Yes I know things would run and look faster using CSS but my skills in CSS are like the football player with 2 left feet in on roller skates.
And also yes it is set up for hurricane season now, which starts here on May1st 2008. During the winter months it is set up for storms all over the USA. Some pretty wicked ones this winter came in on the westh cost I might add.
I am with some of the other posters, this website doesn't go with the current trend. Maybe 10 years ago with the repeating image background and stacking everything on top of each other. What I recommend is that you get yourself a nice organized template to give your site a cleaner look. I recommend check out this website for some good templates to your site a more cleaner look. Also, not to keen on the banner either, because of that constant flashing, maybe if you had the text stay put and animate some lighting bolts then it would look better. I ran your site through a validator you have about 180+ errors, mostly from the java applets from the look if it.
Another recommendation is have a page for each applet that way your main page won't take long to load. Also your chat page is down so you might want to fix that as well so don't forget to check that page. Other then those problems, your off to a start just need to work at designing your site a bit more.
Hello everyone, Site you is not bad, although art could still work on the layout, are you also could add content and still somewhat interesting for visitors ... Small throws in the lag time loading but is not lose .. At least you have an effort .. 8 / 10
eh its too messy and idk.. cheapish looking for me, and your div table is off to the bottom right, if you plan on keeping the blue layout box, you should increase its width, and increase the width of the black table, so the "weather map" doesnt look so out of place, also.. your navigation bar links/the fact that its on a scrowling box, looks kinda outa place and not neat.. you should make a header that has a place for your little box weather thing on the top left, so it looks more neat, then kinda center your navigation with your content side..
also on the navigation links you should get rid of the gray, it doesnt look as attractive.. and on your header, i would suggest something more clean for the text, you know??
also your background, i say you go with a solid color, because of the type of site you have, use a color that does well to the other colors.. purpleish and yellow, dont go with many colors..
and.. the site kinda frroze on me.. lol
not being mean or anything i just have lets say.. uhmmm issues
The website is cluttered and has bad graphics. You've choose the wrong colours to go together. Purple, orange and blue never go together. Purple can only really work well with black and even then it looks like a scary site. Orange and blue can work together, but best works when it's with a strong white content layout.
As I said, it's cluttered. If you separated out the pages, it would improve a lot! Don't use iframes either, iframes aren't that attractive. You have loads of java embedded items which cause computers to lag, which will not bring in customers to view your website. It will do the exact opposite.
Overall the site is amateurish, you've really got to do your homework on graphics and design. Keep it up though, listen to the suggestions posted here and improve. You've already done 50%, which is the content.
Two things which stuck out to me reading the reviews. Yes, it does have a 90s style to it. Nowhere near to a Web 2.0 styled site. The other thing, some guy gave this 9 out of 10 score. What the hell? Your not helping the guy to improve his site which he's came here to for.
the content gone crazy from it's box.. repair this first and also get rid of the excessive glossy buttons... You might as well put something else as background.. and minimize the size (kb) of the button images, they're loading too slow..
Could you guys please review my website. I feel like it is suitable for what it is. I have a side
computer repair business, but am not investing a lot of money in it. I think the useability is good.
I am new to the web design world. I am just happy to have made this site and I am just happy to get

something is wrong and friendly comments will help me a lot. Thank you!....
I've redesigned my website - from graphics to the CSS layouting. I was planning on a website
that would look personal not commercial, with a home-cooked feel. I ended up with a pretty simple
and straightforward design. I'm afraid it looks a bit packaged now, kinda like what you'd
get with ready-made blogs out there. I'm making a layout number 3 but I'm sticking with this
one for a while if I get not-too-terrible reviews, heehee. Anyways, I feel like I'm writing my
own review here /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0"....
Most of the web designers, have this pain of working for a site which has to viewed perfectly for
all people and all users over the world, independent of their operating systems, their browser and
system and internet speed. There's no way no see it all manually and get the Idea about how the
site looks in different machines and browsers. Luckily, I've found a very handy and useful way
where people can really find this thing within matter of hours, Mostly minutes. Here's the site
to check out screenshots of how your site looks in different browsers in differ....
CheatScene is almost as bad as Sythe.org. CheatScene happen to even have a Ex-Admin from Sythe, that
was reported, banned, and de-admin-ed from Sythe dude to scamming, yet still has a admin position on
CheatScene. The staff is all junk, they support spamming, flaming, and other misuse of rules. No
names mentioned, but A certain Super mod, and 2 administrators are spammers and flamers themselves,
while saying they need to promote the site. The java macro the REAL admin created is a class A
macro, and gets a 5 star rating from me. The website skin is dull, and somewhat old....

Thanks to Trap17, and two days of non-stop work on my website, I am now ready to announce what is
now my third (and, I hope, final) relaunch of my website, Hangman, Inc. Gaming and Software. The
last time I launched this website, I had this idea of integrating Forum Software with an effective
Content Management System. The original aim was to make the website, forums, and the Games Database
interact with each other so that they all worked with one another. The problem was that, instead of
using an actual Content Management System, I instead chose to use a CMS-style Mo....
Ok, well... again... I would like to request a review from you guys... http://2kart.trap17.com
Last time I posted a review, you helped me to fix all the bugs... but I don't think that the
design in general was reall helped out too much. So this time, could you please post your
suggestions on the design... I don't plan on completely re-doing the design or the color scheme.
However, if you think that I should style headings differently etc. please feel free to share... I
am happy with the general design, but I need to fine tune it... so your input would be grea....

Those of you who subscribe to PC World may have noticed a review for a site called Myfabrik.com
Myfabrik is a file hosting service that gives it's members a fairly large amount of space (2GB
in my case) to store Photos, Music, Videos, and Documents. But, on top of this, it also allows you
to have a small "Public Page" that allows you to share select files with anyone that browses to your
page. I found that MyFabrik's interface was very clear and uncluttered, but some of the icons
were very small, and dragging files and folders to the trash is a hastle with my cra....
