Review my site

[D'son]

My site is up and running, but some people are not able to find it. When they type in the address it says not found. Could you look over my site, give me feed back and help me with this issue?

Re: Review my site

JUst a start your home page is fine. All your other pages either you got to run a file the other pages no menu bars to go back. Needs alot of tweaking many people will not want to download files. I say you got your work cut out for you. If you made your pages like you did with your landing page it will be a nice site. Good luck with it

Re: Review my site

I think I see what you are saying,
1. I need to add either a back link or a home link to my other pages
2. the files for the schedules should be an actual page insted of an excel sheet or pdf?

we had a site before and it was done this way and everyone that used it thought it was fine then, but I wanted to make it better.
Thanks for the input.

Re: Review my site

Hi, your off to a great start. I must agree with the link to the downloads. Visitors should be given a choice.
Many of the images on the site need to be resized, especially the sponsors page.
IE: http://marseillesyouthsports.com/Illinois%20Valley%20Cellular%20Baseball%20Sign%20M arseilles%202008%20011708%20(1).JPG
Is at nearly 4 meg
This page would also be better laid out in a grid down the page to enable an order of sponsorship. (Who gives the most at the top)
The registration page could be set up as a form that can be filled in online & the page can then printed out ready for signing.
Bit like this one.
On the gallery page there are some of the best quality images (when enlarged) I have seen on BV sites. The real life photographer has got some great images of everyone. They need to be resized & displayed via some sort of image software & grouped in vertical & horizontal order.

Re: Review my site

Hey thanks for the ideas, I really like the one about the on-line form (if I can get the one I have now working). You really think the photos should be in a grid form? I had them like that before (last site) and people liked the radom montag look better. And yes our photographer is amazing, he had asked that I disable the right click functions but I don't know how to do that. I had asked in the forum about having the ability to make it so that people couldn,t copy them and was told that you really can't, so the next time I post his photos we'll put a watermark on them. (But I would still like to disable the right click, our parent don't know any other ways to copy them)

Re: Review my site

Hi Ed, I see you got a start on the form & I should of said that for web pages to print out ok you need to keep the page down to around 750 wide. (sorry!). But a few adjustments will sort it. If you need a print button on the form? pop the 2nd code bellow into a html box on the front of your BV page & place where you want the button to be seen.
On the image display, the random look is fine, I just don’t like the way the program displays the images thumbnails in the respect of (to many kb’s & a crinkly look) . If you want a no right click & the photographer has asked for it. Pop the script in the 1st box below in……
Menu>View>Page HTML> & paste into the “inside body tag” This should stop it.
If you need another light box viewer (freebie) try these in 2 different colour & image sizes 2 links link 1 link 2. Only idea’s, these also have the right click disabled.

Good luck.

Print button.

Re: Review my site

Chris, I have tried the codes that you gave me and no luck. I then downloaded the veiwer, I like it but cna't figure out how to transfer it to my site. Any suggestions, I know I am just not thinking clearly, I 've been moving my parents all week and that is enough to fry anyones brain.

Re: Review my site

Hi, I thing that your site is very nice.

Other people had said it all.

I think you should consider centering your pages in browser.

Nice work.

Hi, the no right click should of gone in the "Begining of body" area of page HTML (sorry). Have tried them both & seem to be ok in IE & FF.
On the album, the quickest way is to open your FTP in BV & create a new folder called photo1. (or what ever you wish) Then upload all the files & folders that the album has produced into this folder. The link to the album would then be http://www.marseillesyouthsports.com/photo1/index.html

Pop a post back if you are not sure.

Re: Review my site

Watermarking photos can be really distracting, the photographer's name, the copyright symbol and the year posted lower right looks better, and contact info somewhere for the photographer so people can purchase the images also announces they are not free. If they are downsized they are little use for quality reproduction, so that is good protection.

Re: Review my site

Thanks Chris and everyone, I used another veiwer for the pictures and it worked out well. I really appreciate all the help you provided and look forward to working on another project here or possibly expanding this one.
