Iarkalwen 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2005 Oh wow! I'm loving the layout! Everything is easy on the eye :(I think the only thing that ruins it is the ad.You seem to have a lot of content though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OhMyBosh 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2005 Lol, the reason I made the site was for the ads. But I understand about the ad. Also, I thought I had horribly little content. I also was going to make a basketball and hockey keepers league. Getting people to pick players they think will socre alot.http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ <-- post there. im alone.

snlildude87 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2005 I agree with what the other poster said, "nice design". There are some improvements you could make that could enhance your site even more:First, you could align your entire site so that the content is centered. In my opinion, it looks cooler to have your entire site centered.Second, you could make the links another color because it does not match the site at all, and it's hard to tell what the links say because of contrast. You can make them white to match the color of your buttons...Third, you could move the ads to the bottom of the page because it sort of gets in the way of the content, and it's pretty intrusive right now.Fourth, you need a title for your site if you want visitors to come (Search Engine Optimization)Fifth, http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ doesn't work.Sixth, remove the frame and go with your Xisto subdomain. Your kwire.kickme.to subdomain has 15 characters, and your Xisto subdomain has 16 characters. I think your visitors will be able to handle remembering an extra character. Besides, browsers have autocomplete today, so all they need to remember is "kwi".That's it! Good luck on your site. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OhMyBosh 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2005 I know the stats don't work. I guess I really should move the AD. (I will) Also just a few minutes ago I changed around the links so that the links include forums and teh stats one is gone. I dont think its nessicary. I also changed the colour of the ads so taht its more easy on the site. I don't really want to move the the layer to centre it, I prefer it this way. Not to mention that itd be really hard to do. And I'll change the links to white as soon as I figure out the code.And teh re-direct. I like kickme.to also it would be http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ <-- 38 http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ <-- 22 because it'd goto the default .html page that comes with my hosting.

Add the following code between your style tag:a /*normal link color - it's at white now */{ color: #fff;}a:active /*color to show when the user is clicking on the link */{ color: #00DCFF;}a:link /*no idea what this is, but i set it to white anyway */{ color: #fff;}a:visited /*color to show when the user has been to a page */{ color: #194592;}a:hover /*color to show when the user has the mouse over the URL, but not clicking it */{ color: #19D6FF;}I got my colors with my little application: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/. Feel free to use it to find the right colors to decorate your links. Â 2. Yeah, kickme.to is pretty cool, but if your site ever has loads of visitors (thousands of unique hits daily), then you might want to get rid of kickme.to because when someone bookmarks a frame like kickme.to or .tk, then the browser will only take the user to your front page instead of the page where they bookmarked. This is bad because if you have a link that's really buried, then it might be hard to find it again when a visitor comes back. Also, like I mentioned before, browsers have autocomplete, so all they really need to do is type in "kwi," and the browser will show all the links that the visitors have seen on your site.

Neutrality 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2005 This is a nice-looking website. It may lack images, but it's still original. I like that image also, but maybe you could center it or something. Also, maybe you could move those links to the top of the image [ just a suggestion - you don't need to abide by it ]. The content is pretty self-sustaining. The only problems I had with the content is the fact that several of the pages contain a php error, but I'm assuming that you are fixing them as we speak. By the way, I like the fact that you have a basketball page with the draft picks. I hope you can really pad that page with more useful basketball content and links. All in all, it's a decent site with good content. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OhMyBosh 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2005 Thanks, I prefered all white on the links. So I did that, but I left the underline. Also I'm making a entrance page. Also, about the kickme.to . I changed it so that it doesnt mask the URL. Now your type in kwire.kickme.to then it just re-directs your to http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ And Inspired, I plan on having a keepers league with that page. Also I'll have the 2005 draft picks listed. I cant wait. The php things are just pages I havent finished yet. I had enuff credits on the weekend so i just said why not, and started a site.

Furor 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2005 Design A pretty nice and easy on the eye design. If you could include some content on the right side (which is empty); it would make the site look more complete. Nice use of php as well. Â Content The included content is pretty vast and nice for the user to stay on the website for some time. Pretty good. Â Overall, I'd rate your website a 6.5 on 10.
