The *ALL NEW* Revival Homepage

You —

Salaam


The other topic has got pretty big, and is going over too many diferent itterations of the homepage to be useful.


In short, The new homepage has been up for a few weeks now. The relief that I actually finished it is over. I can see way too many faults in it.


However, I want to know what faults others see in it, as because I am so close to its creation, my flaws may be diferent from what others see.


Currently what I think are the problems:


1. Its too amateurish. Great ideas with very poor execution. No finesse.

2. If you have a decent monitor, you may aswell puke before you visit, as the result of viewing in a resolution anything above 800*600 is pretty poor.

3. too many lists, which are too long.

4. Lack of focus. Its a bit of a jack of all trades. Probably because of the war between me and 'Ed where it is impossible to agree to his 'design' ideas, as I find them just so 1995.


so what catches the eye? what is bad? what is good? what gains focus?


and colourscheme wise should we go back to some form of green?


(asa forum skin there is one called nosebleed which actually goes pretty well with the site, and is cool...)

ok wat i meant was i like the top and middle but the bottom of the page just looks way off, too much colour! Plus the top is fully occupied width wise whereas the middle and bottom aint. If that makes sense!

what has the world come to when I spell smiley wrong!


Thanks for that info, and the bottom bit is not filled yet.


I am planning a few things for there. Either ads or affiliates, or picture links to some articles or something of the sort...


glad to see you like the top.


One thing... the font of the text in the feature article... what do you think of it? I do not think that works too well. Times New roman looked better IMO.

I have replaced that keyboard, for a diferent one. So I cannot use that excuse.


I actually liked that keyboard, but my spelling was attrocious on it.
