Hi Please Tell Me About My Site Hi i just updated my site, tell me about it plz

Hi i just got my new Xisto site up and running please take a look at it and tell me what you think. Tell me like wat is good what is bad what i need to add what i need to take off wat needs to be changed and so on and so forth. Please be honest and tell me what you think thanks my site is http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

Very nice site. Neat, organized and attractive. I even went to the trouble of using my zoom option in the View menu so I could read all the interesting stuff. This is not a criticism. My eyes are old and don't see so well anymore. As you can see, I don't use the standard text on here that everybody else uses. I really have to squint to see the posts. I size my posts so I can read them better. I found the content interesting even tho it is all beyond my realm. Keep up the good work.

Looks like a great site. You chose an excellent layout from oswd.org, by the way!Like Mich said, your site is very organized, and that's good because your number 1 priority in web design is that your visitors find what they need...fast.I'm not really interested in final fantasy, so I'll probably won't go back.Tip: If you want to make more money, put the google adsense banner on top. Studies show that most people don't mind advertisements as long as they're not annoying, so you won't have to worry about losing visitors.

Thanks both of you. I chose to use this site layout because it is Fluidity and i like using that because it uses columns and all web browsers no matter how big te screen will show out like normal. I like the ads at te bottom becuase the way my site works is i make how i would like a site and i don't like things like tat right at the top so i don't do that and i think at the bottom is fine and i don't get many visitors as of yet so tey wont be clicked on so i wont be making money anyway and i already got about 12 cents from that now. lol. But i just put it there so one day maybe i can earn money off there. Well thanks guys for your comments.

ffuniverse is designed to be viewed at 800x600 resolution

You need to think about those who with a larger resolution than that though because the width of your layout (and consequently the line-length) is too large. You'd be better having another column in there to make the main column's width smaller.

not bad,it is a completed site now.especially ,off the bat,the content of ur page looks rich and the layout is also rather nice.and i notice that google ads also was applied so fast...hehoverall,good job it is.

if you read my above post i said that i make the site how i want it to be and my computer is 800x600 and because the site is fluidity it means the columns will expand with any size screen to fit it. @hulunes thanks for your comments it isn't finised yet it is very low on content at the moment it may look finished but its not by a long shot. lol. I have been changing hosts for about a year now and gonna stay with Xisto if i can get cpanel to work. so thanks all for your comments

well i vistied your site and found out few things which i thought might have looked good about the layout design ,first the font on your menu is not at all nice because of the heavy influence caused by the overhead banner , so i got a print screen of your site on my ps and i found that #440C00 goes very well ,umm just telling what i think ,if i were you i may as well remove all green clored font because it does not balance with the rest of the site, second you could try arranging your content into two columns as it is not so eyecatching as people tend to just take a look at the layout and go without even reading your rich content and also the site is seriously lacking images which has to be put in order to counter the overwhelming effect of your head banner ,here you can use images that resemble the colors you have in the banner , the name of your site is not immeadiately readable as it should be since it is the link to the home page once you are in another page ,the first f is almost invisble , so here you can use some other bold font with different colors , also try not highlighting too much where to click ,people dont like it when they are asked to do things ,they have to do it on their own wish ,so you can use a little dark grey instead of green, also i have seen some pages are under construction ,but of course im sure you are going to finish them soon ,so anyway this is what i think will make your site really nice looking and great , you have got a nice banner and you can take it as a advantage to fashion out the whole layout to best produce a neat looking great site wish you good luck with your site , if you feel like asking me anything you are most welcome and i would love to give whatever help i can provide

yeah i will definately take your suggestions into consideration, you see i am not that good at web design i have been doing basic html sites for about 2 and a half years since s1 and i am planning to make this site all php to include some scripts and to increase my knowledge on web coding. Thanks for your support but what do you mean by putting more images on to fit in with banner?

Hey there. I like your site, nice design, and neat and orderly. too many Mamba open source sites look like a truck ran through them. That is, people that don't know how to use them. Your site is great. May I suggest a few things though? You need forms on your site. You are working only with email. And although there is nothing wrong with that, it does discourage people from sending their feedback. I use form builders that pre make the php processing code. So I would try that. Ballotbox.com also offers free pools that you can put on your site for your polls, turning in extra feedback. Also, if you can, newsletters are a great way to get listed. There are some newsletter directories out there, and you could join and list your newsletter, getting you more traffic. Just some suggestions.

i am working on getting a forum and chat and all things like that but cpanel isn't working for me at the moment so wheni get it working they will be up and runing

really nice site, you did good on it 9/10, anyways, if you plan on putting a forum up i suggest MyBB its free and easy to use, as for a chat, i think you chould get and use http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ it may be 5 bucks, but if you look at the demo it is worh it!! no ads, no anything but the chat!

well good luck with the site

Since i did ask to be one of your affiliates i definitely wanted to let you know what i thought about your site. For one, let me just say that a few of my comments might not look wierd on your screen but i am running a resolution of 1920x1200. You should have your banner just fill 100% of the width of the screen or just have it tilled but make sure it is aligned to the left since it appears to be centered somewhat so i get a partial slice, the full thing, and then another partial banner. Secondly, your tabs at top i would recommend making a background image for them and accent the edges just because they intersect your title image in a wierd way. They just look kinda out of place. Finally, i would add a side navigation bar on the left or the right just so it is a bit easier to navigate. Overall i like the color scheme and the look but just a few minor changes. Content is good but i recommend getting the look finished first or else you may have to rewrite some content pages to fit it.

I like your site!Bacause I play in all versions of Final Fantasy!Please finish manage your "under construction" pages...I am running a resolution of 1920x1200 too like you and no problem!Your original design is coool!

Well your in luck i just finished making the guestbook and forum pages so if anyone wants to join te forum that would be great ecpesially you developerX seeing as you like final fantasy. And thats the point of my layout its able to be viewed by any size screens, if you minimize your screen with my site on it it changes to fit all content into the size of the browser which i found really intersting which led me into using tis design and of course it's black, black is the best coulour in the world. loli don't have room for a side nav bar and i think just the one up the top is good enough as it lets you acces basically anywhere in 1-3 clicks and on a report they found out that people don't wanna have to click more than 3 times to get to content, i am always looking for different layouts trying to find the perfect one and i like this one but it's just not perfect for me so i'm trying to find someone who can work with me to make a great layout for free but i doubt that so i just google free layouts and none are good but if anyone willing to help me make one or got any really good layout sites please message me. O and fffantics my button for my affiliating is done it's at http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ it's an old animated button i made about 2 years ago i just changed the site name. Thanks again all
