Ok guys and gals MY new site is up and working http://www.va2k.net PLEASE tell me what you all think and if there were any problems viewing it spent 13 hours non stop working on this think this is my best yet

Man, even if the site kicked ass... Do you realize that you are gonna get ripped apart anyway because of your earlier stunt?

spacedog · 01-20-2002, 11:15 PM

Free membership??

I'd get rid of that fast..
You're charging a membership fee, so it's not free..

the girl on the left looks like she's been horizontally widened.. put her back into perspective.. try getting rid of the different shaped background boxes.. either use one shape or remove them altogether, use the same style of the same font for all the text in the boxes.. think about easing up on the bevel and emboss + dropshadow effect in photoshop..

I will not be posting a link to the thread. Look around and you will find it.

"it spent 13 hours non stop working"

Aaaahahahaha. I'm pretty sure that Amateur Pages was built in 15 hours, so you're getting close there...

bhutocracy · 01-21-2002, 12:25 AM

oooooohh the making bank thing?

missed that..

AaronM · 01-21-2002, 12:31 AM

Where'd you get that shot of my mom?

Amputate Your Head · 01-21-2002, 01:18 AM

Okay dude... there's far too much to go into here, but I'm gonna start with the heavy stuff.

First of all, it's chaotic. There is no balance to it whatsoever. You've got every shape under the sun in it except maybe a pentagon. Bad idea.

Your bevels do not match... they range from none at all to way overblown, and everything in between... perspective is shot.

Complete lack of defining framework, combined with all the different shapes, it looks like a pile of kids shape toys that they pound into the holes.

Too much different text. Different text styles are cool, but they should compliment each other, not compete with each other.

Too much half-opacity... on everything... bad blending technique.

Too many textures.... remember, you don't HAVE to use them all.

Total absence of a theme. It's all over the place man. Not only does there seem to be 9 different attempts at some sort of theme, with none of them accomplishing it, but nothing stands out either. You're trying to make EVERYTHING stand out, and thus, nothing does.

And finally, your name, while it may mean something to you.... has zero meaning to a surfer. What is a VA2K? If it has some adult meaning, spell it out for us or we won't have any idea. You may want to consider looking for a different domain.

Not a bad effort for a beginner, but it's screaming for improvement. Don't stop there.

We talked briefly earlier on ICQ, and I'm guessing that my price was too high and you decided to do it yourself... but, believe me when I tell you there is value in what I can do for you. Wouldn't you rather spend the money and have a site that converts, versus something you did in a few hours that no one will pay .50 cents to get inside?

Just my feedback bro..... if you keep workin' on it and follow the input & tips I put up there, you'll show a marked improvement in no time at all. Your second page actually looks better than the front.

Va2k · 01-21-2002, 06:44 AM

Naw bro you designs kick ass and im going to use you

remember what I said in the icq to you

yes im still learning photoshop but you got to say it looks alot better then it did. This isnt my only site I do mostly Tgp's avs sites and make most my money from them. I have had this paid site for a while and the paid site is only making enough money to pay the hosting fee's As for exclusive I shoot my own content Those that do know me know this. But as soon as I get things straight I will use your service. Your price wasnt that bad and I liked your design Thanks for the input peace
