Re: New Site I created

here is the thing about the pages there are going to be like the first with just books listed vertically,

what links are stalling, could you be more specific

I clicked on 'page1' and 'page 2' - nothing happened. If you had links elsewhere I didn't see them.

Perhaps you could use your pages to break down your books into areas of interest, fiction and non-fiction, I don't know. If you don't need extra pages then don't use them just for the sake of it. Add them when and if you need them.

Re: New Site I created

thats because page 1 is home and the page two had no link look again I tore down page 2 and 3 until I'm ready to publish the pages

But, the rest are cool aren't they

Re: New Site I created

First... Bravo Racefan. Well said. Salute!

Second... I liked your site. It caught my attention. I would say that the main page and the forum seem like they belong to two different web pages. I think that this is why they have templates. I find on most web sites all the pages have the same 'look'. For the eyes I might go with the forums theme. It has the same colors but is easier to read. Or combine them. I liked your title where did you find it or is it something you created?

I love your title, forum and email text on the home page. But I have to admit, the rest is very difficult for me to read. I'm not color blind, but some of the book images, seem to fade into the night on your home page. Like others have said, your forum page is easier on the eyes in terms of your color selection. Good Luck!

Re: New Site I created

I did what you said, set text to white and links to light blue at first I thought it clashed but now after looking at it a few times I like it

Hi Sadain,
I think your site looks good. I enjoy reading and go to many booksites. Colors are ok. But.... Hmmmmmm. Well. you did good work, but to be honest. I think since your title books are dark in color, have plenty of color themselfs that you should have a lighter background, even side links if possible would look ok dark, with a two tone color on white background with black text. This gives the reader less eye strain when browsing through your titles. Colors are good if they were surrounded in white backdrop. This is my opinion, if I was to post books like that, I want to read title and information on lighter background. It's like the sites your linking too, the amazon, they have lighter colors to better able to read book Title, it's just a suggestion, and top graphics are awesome. www.toysandbooks.net

Jerret: Much better with the white text, easier on the eyes. The images also seem to stand out and don't fade in as much. Good Luck!

Re: New Site I created

I have sensitive eyes to me the colors are soothing---- black and white on the computer hurts, and I'm at the site alot its only been up for about two weeks its my most popular site I've had 150 unique visitors at the site already and 25,000 hits thats just in two weeks.


I should have stated like instead of second opinon if it was legable to anyone else or something, its very readable to me. but then agian my sensitive sight


well, thank you to everyone who posted.

My eyes are so sensitive that the page is soothing to me... You cant imagine how painful black and white is to me... sOMETIMEs I have to wear sun glasses while surfing... and I'm the Admin so I probably stick with the site I've asked my members so i'll see what they say, i have one vote that it is really cool

my members and I were all at myspace and we all wanted a site that wasn't distracting so I built it




thanx

Re: New Site I created

My only other comment is that the first book listed on your site might turn away some viewers. I don't know if you have a reason for your listing order and that is okay...just be aware that some will leave before they get half way through that description and never see book three.

Re: New Site I created

All my authors are graphic though several have childrens books...

The first book is mine, I wrote that, its not as harsh as it may sound...

Re: New Site I created

Sadain,

Very cool graphic! I like the site. The colors are not too bad on my eyes.
The forum- Your site has no real introduction - and that is ok because one can readily figure it out, but the forum does not explain what type of forum it is or what its all about. Maybe an introduction/explanation page would garner more curiosity and participation.

And last- the e-mail. I am no fan of an e-mail that opens my e-mail editor. In fact- I quickly and automatically exit out of it. I have spoke with others with similar feelings. I would make a short contact page and run it via php. Sorry- but I am partial to that method. It's a great way to allow quick feed back from your visitors too.

Anyway- great job and I can't wait to see the finished product.

Re: New Site I created

The email thing, I wasn't a big fan of that either, when I had no emial account but yahoo, until I got a real account then I thought it was quick and easy, I used to copy the emial address out of the Outlook then go to yahoo to send, I know where your coming from,

It's not very instructive, or introduction/explanation because well newcomers need an invite at this point, if someone does come across the site and is interseted I let them join too but I dont know how long thats going to last, until like um... I cant remember his name Alien something, but he got spam artists and unwanted guest I've already had to lockup the forum from public view because someone was reading messages then publishing sites on our convo's so members only at this point.

so if I start getting spammers I'll have to do an email confirmation Registration...

Thank You,
