Critic This New Site Please - GoFuckYourself.com

NastyJack · 02-15-2003, 07:54 PM

I just started work on this new site (Hosted On My Domain) for someone and would like to hear what you think about it.

I only charged the guy $150.00 but just the same, I think it looks pretty cool. What do you think?

http://www.adultxplus.com/blackvelvet/index.html

Please keep in mind that I just started to work on it.

I hate sites that resize my browser.

p00p · 02-15-2003, 07:57 PM

With respect, someone actually paid $150 for that?
If so, good for you!

vapewiz · 02-15-2003, 07:57 PM

Myself i would be pissed if this is what i got for $150.

Seb From Holland · 02-15-2003, 07:59 PM

It's horrible. But then again, I'm drunk now. So it could be even worse when I wake up and I'm sober.

Dopy · 02-15-2003, 07:59 PM

Hold on to the day job

NastyJack · 02-15-2003, 08:07 PM

You have to keep in mind that I just started to work on it - it's by no means finish.

But just the same, what didn't you like about it?
It's not very helpful if you just tell me that you don't like it - at least tell me what I should do to improve it.

Have you looked at the site in a few browsers? Or, um, even one? Sorry, but it doesn't look good.

I'm sorry to hear that because I'm using IE at screen resolution 1024x768 and it looks okay on my end.

Someone said that it changed the size of they're screen - is that what you mean?

Guess I better have a look at it with a lower resolution huh!

Thanks for the feedback.

onewebsite · 02-15-2003, 08:27 PM

Opened fine on my laptop

NastyJack · 02-15-2003, 08:50 PM

Okay, just looked at it with a screen resolution of 800x600 and it did look like shit - what resolution are you guys using and is anyone still using 800x600 and should I care about those that still do?

I'm using a resolution of 1024x768 and it looks fine on my end.
So what resolution are you using?

Nah, it's only like 40 or 50% of all surfers. Not worth the effort, really.

Why do you say that - is it because you have a low resolution and everything was fucked up or is it because you just don't like the format?

Like I just said, I had a look at it with a low resolution 800x600 and it was fucked up - guess I'll have to fix that.

gothweb · 02-15-2003, 09:23 PM

I don't like to just tell someone that something is bad without trying to help. So, here are some more specific points...

The marbled bits aren't consistent. Some of the bars don't connect/overlap properly. It just doesn't look clean. This is probably your biggest problem, at least in my browser.

Your fonts (text, not logo) aren't consistent. Also, the white text on red looks poor. This would help.

Your logo isn't easy to read, and is placed akwardly. Could use some work to be more ideal.

No page should require such high resolution.

No page should resize the window.

Bad use of empty space and placement proportion.

Pointless · 02-15-2003, 09:29 PM

yeah i also had to look twice at your logo before i could tell what it said. maybe try making the red outline of the logo stand out a bit more

Tipsy · 02-15-2003, 09:32 PM

There's loads to pick up on but I'm only gonna pick one. It uses frames *shudder* and makes a bad job of them too.

Personal opinion would be to totally scrap it and start again. I'm not saying that because it's your site. If anyone had designed that site I'd say the same.

An edit just to add - If you really can't see what's wrong with it you shouldn't be charging anyone anything to build sites.

Juicy D. Links · 02-15-2003, 09:39 PM

Nasty dont take offense to what i said personally but its not the best looking thing

NastyJack · 02-15-2003, 10:30 PM

it's a good thing I asked for you to take a look at it cause from my end it was looking okay. But needless to say I made a few changes so it should look a little better now.

I'm going to change the logo and work on it a little more before turning for the night but please have another look at it and once again let me know what else I should work on.

I should also thank everyone for they're help so thanks gang!

Still not worth a $1.50 let alone $150.... bust out the photoshop book or search google for some tutorials... sorry to be so harsh but that is just not a good design....

Agreed, looks like a newbie just done his first page and that was the result. But you get what you pay for I guess

NastyJack · 02-15-2003, 11:09 PM

Thing I'll scap it and just start over.
Without frames this time.

And again, thanks for your feedback - it's much apreciated.

CumSensei · 02-16-2003, 12:47 AM

Jees!
Nastyjack you acctually found someone who paid 150$ for that?

Another proof that you still try and fuck new guys in this industry over just like you did when you tried to make all the new guys sign up with your freehost ref code to make you 100$ per signup or whatever it was.

Still a scam artist?

I don't know what your talking about - what freehost ref code are you talking about?

And if I was trying to rip someone off would I be posting here to have people tell me what I should do to improve the site idiot!

Again, why don't you got back to aww where your wanted!

CumSensei · 02-16-2003, 01:27 AM

Well do your "Client" a faviour and send him to http://www.galleryguy.com/

So he can get a good design made up for all his hard earned money....if you knew what you where doing when it comes to design you would not even had to ask... So save this guy his 150$ and tell him you dont have the skill for designing sites.

Okay riddle me this there NJ ???
Second reply sounds like you are tring to get him to sign up under you or something cause how else could you make such a deal ....
My man NJ was broking a freehost deal to a guy who wanted to pay for his own hosting LOL !

MarkTiarra · 02-16-2003, 01:30 AM

The alignment of the text to the background is not set dynamically so the top links flow over a repeat of the background gra[hic at higher resolutions. You need to test your designs in various resolutions and learn to make them dynamically relevant. Big design 101 kinda thing. =]

Best of luck dude...

Amputate Your Head · 02-16-2003, 01:33 AM

it fucking sucks.

everything is whacked out of alignment, color scheme is poorly executed, no theme, nothing of any impact....

I give it two fucking thumbs down.

kill it.

Amputate Your Head · 02-16-2003, 01:35 AM

I'll fix it for you....

for $2k.

No wait... I'll do it for $1999... and if this is like any time I see people talking about design quotes on here it'll be a design contest where the winner gets $0.14 within 30 minutes. ;>

I refuse to participate in design contests anymore.... they only FUCK the designers.

I run flat rates. They can take it or leave it. With the amount of people I turn away daily, I'm not stressing.

MetaformX · 02-16-2003, 02:11 AM

no offense, but that site is horrible, especially for $150

I am selling this site for $200(finished to your specifications)
