reconraiders 0 Report post Posted June 25, 2007 I've had a hosting account here at Xisto for a while now, but I haven't put any sites on it until just now. I only had a few little subdomains in use for some testing and stuff. Now I have my site hosted here at Xisto. So check it out and tell me what you think. The content may be unfamiliar or even possibly offensive to some. But I'd like you to review the design and function of the site and tell me what you think. Most of the work is pretty old. I need to redesign the whole thing. At least it is XHTML compliant Also CSS 2.0 I think! LOL. Well, post away and tell me what you think! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
techclave 0 Report post Posted June 25, 2007 good site..!!! but personally i find it hard to stay in a website with black background and a highly contrasting text colors. If you could do something about it then it will be fine. the whole page is sticking to the top of the browser. try to center it vertically as you did it horizontally. the banner is good. best of luck!!!

reconraiders 0 Report post Posted June 25, 2007 Well the black background really goes against my opinion. It was more the users' choice. They wanted it. It used to have a white background with black text. As for the "sticking to the top"... I designed it purposely that way with 0 margin at the top and bottom. You think that's bad?

cwconline 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2007 Hello, Overall it is a nice layout and black is a good color for that paticular web content. White is more of a professional business lookblack just means its grunge or to mean seriousness. I hope that your site is a success, and hope you find luck with bidvertiser I never did.Well Best Wishes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Janz 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2007 Well, you site has a great layout, and site nagivation is great, but I'm not agreeing with the colors. Yes, I see how the colors are like that because of what the sites about, but I consider the colors a little bold. Also, I like what techclave said about the centered look instead of hitting the top but thats just me. So my opinion, great site, great navigation, just missing somewhere with the look but other then that, its coming togther nicely. Just a suggestion, If you know like Flash or Javascript, maybe put a little more interaction in your site. Not just for the people with ADD, lol, but it just adds some style to the site Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thejestergl 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2007 Awesome website and I like the website. I enjoyed the videos also! The layout is nice and the colors go very well for the theme of the site. Navigation is easy and the forum looks pretty nice. I love the flash that you made for the "Team" link. I can't tell you how to really make it much better because I don't exactly airsoft much (though I do have an airsoft gun! ). Good luck on it, great images btw (banner and such what).-Jester Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
reconraiders 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2007 thanks guys! I think maybe I will give a 5px margin on top and bottom of the main div now! The colors are the way they are because they are "army" colors - black and gold. Goarmy.com uses the same gold color I think. #ffcc00. Thanks for the input guys!

Saint_Michael 3 Report post Posted June 28, 2007 good site..!!! but personally i find it hard to stay in a website with black background and a highly contrasting text colors. If you could do something about it then it will be fine. the whole page is sticking to the top of the browser. try to center it vertically as you did it horizontally. the banner is good. best of luck!!! The colors work perfectly, well except for the blue, if you look at America's Army website it works with the same theme as well. Since it is a military theme would want to use colors that would be in common with military type sites like black and gold and some grey for good looks. I think this site is more for promotion then public, although they did have a small forum on the site, but that don't make a difference. This is a clean layout with some good idea's, hopefully ithe site will improve over time for that web 2.0 look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fffanatics 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2007 The site looks good and i like the black background and the gold heading text. However, instead of using grey for the text, i would use white. Its just has a better contrast and easier to read. Also, the | between links at the top are hard to see. I would use different colors for them. Besides that it looks good.

shomazta 0 Report post Posted July 10, 2007 wow thats an interesting project you got going on there if you guys where where I live I'd def try to join up with that. I was on the recon team while I was attending the Freestate Army National Guard Academy. As far as the sites concerned its not that bad, very basic as far as graphic/design goes but I mean its more then enough to inform your friends family so I give it a 10/10 If I have to be a jerk and critique your skills overall then its 6/10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
