    Can Anyone offer help for my site?!

    I have my site with a friend from NY on his server.
    He's offered to initially build the site & get it setup,
    but the job was never completely finished. In return
    I'm doing graphic design projects for him.

    But problems have occurred...

    #1 off... the site has never gotten completely done due to
    not having access to the flash/splash page for alterations.
    ...and...
    #2 exceeding his bandwidth w/ hardly any content...

    So... my question is... can anyone help me with a better site
    and a better host server for exchange for some free graphics work.

    Don't know if this is possible so if anyone can help or if you've
    got some good leads to other options, that'd be appreciated!

    Thanks! -Crystal.

      Hey Steve... it's listed in my sig... it's just a personal site, but I
      don't have it near where I'd like it due to issues from the guy I
      made previous arrangements with.

                    Start by shooting whoever chose that domain and designed the site.

                      1) audio on a site is annoying; it's expected on something like a myspace page, but not on a regular web site

                      2) the flash is gloating with credits in the bottom. Who gives a fuck who created the flash? Put it in a credits page.

                      3) Your "menu" is merely a list of confusing icons that don't indicate what they do. If you mouseover them there is no description shown anywhere so it's a big guess what the hell each icon does.

                      4) when clicking on a menu icon it opens a new window. why??? (this is rhetorical -- don't bother answering). you open a new window when you LEAVE your site, not when you link inside of it. That's usability 101.

                      5) When the page loads the menu icons take way too long to "form" so you can even do something

                      6) no way to turn off the music

                      7) .info domains are the red-headed stepchildren of the TLDs

                      8) if the visitor isn't using a 1280 height browser then your menu is below the fold. Either your flash should adjust to fit the constraints of the screen or move your menu to the top.

                      9) home page source code is missing standard HTML, HEAD, and BODY tags

                      10) blog doesn't work http://crystalized.info/blog/

                      11) your code is written as if someone doesn't understand CSS -- example-- "color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" instead of "color: white;" or "color: #ffffff;"

                      12) dont have access to the flash? Convert everything to GIFs or JPGs and dump the music. You will have the same site without the overhead. You're not getting anything out of the flash other than a "Loading..." message and menu icons that take too long to load and don't do anything particularly impressive.

                      There's more but these are some quick points to think about.

                          I'd say Split gave you the best option thus far...

                            Everyone.... I KNOW the problems with the site, so please stop bitching to me about it. That wasn't the point of this thread.

                            I need someone who can help re-do the site layout because a lot of the site I wasn't given control over, therefore I CANNOT change it. The domain name is something I have for another few months.

                              CrystaliZed,

                              I'm on my way to bed but add me to your ICQ. I would like to see some more of your work but would likely give you a hosting account in exchange for some graphics work.

                              Cheers,

                              Brad
