Allthough its still built on the free web builder that is Freewebs, I need a few people to take a look at my website after I reworked it... which was just today.
http://www.freewebs.com/coolfat3459/

Lol, well, I'll try giging you a few hints! :D

1.
Use other colors! Those colors looks like
poo
Have a look here: COLORMATCH
Choose your main color, and get some other colors that fits, just for your site! ;)

2.
The forum link, first, when you click on forum, you get a new page saying: access the forum here: (address)

Don't do that, just make a link that takes you to the forum in a new window! ;)

[/hints]

OK, that was 2 things that I would have done first if I had your page. ;)

Else, I like the menu, cuz it stays even if you click a link, and it does not have frames! ;)

What colors? If you are making reference to the blue in the menu, couldn't change it :| I know it sucks. But whats a man to do?
The forum link, first, when you click on forum, you get a new page saying: access the forum here: (address)
Unfortunatly I did that, and it doesn't link you to the webpage, you get a 404 or 401 or 409 or whatever the error number is. But if you link it from the actual page instead of the menu you can reach the page you want to link. I agree, its annoying.

Thanks for the suggestions.
PS: The white text was a suggestion by another forum. If you thought that looked a little out of place, its just an experiment, and will either be implemented in the whole site, or taken out sometime soon.

Oops. When I said "I did that" I meant I tried linking the page to the menu.

Hmm.. Overall, it looks very shoddy. Here're some tips.

1. Change the background! That background image is horrible - you can keep it, but if you do, enclose the entire page in a single-color-background <div> (or span, whatever) with borders. It'll look alot better.

2. You can change the colours of the menu buttons (Anchors). Add this to your page:

<html>
<head> <style>
a { text-decorations: none; color [whatever colour you wish (rgb and hex works fine)];
a: hover { color: [The colour that appears when you're hovering the hyperlink];
a: visited { color: [The colour displayed when you've visited the page];
</style>

This will add a CSS-style to all your anchors ( <a> ).

3. Divisions and borders. Divide your page into several section (using the very good <div> tag), like so (or however you wish):
  • [logo]
  • [menu]
  • [content]
  • [footer]
All of them with their own border (Or change the backgrounds of them, as on my site).

Keep up the good work - it's 103210012301023021 times better than a freewebs template already. Also, I'd consider getting a different host... freewebs make baby jesus cry.

What other host would you recommend, then, zombie.
Posted 19 years ago2005-07-07 18:28:11 UTC Post #119510
I've actually got no idea. I get my hosting from the oh-so-kind masterofpuppets. Somone else recommend one?

I'm looking through clickherefree.com right now, found it upon browsing the comments for one of Kasperg's maps.

Hmm.. I remember using http://www.50megs.com/ when I was a young webdesigner.. can't remember how it is, but it worked. You get leet urls, like zombieloffe.5u.com (doesn't work, don't bother trying).
Posted 19 years ago2005-07-07 19:38:52 UTC Post #119525
Oh wait, nevermind that, it's slow as shite and ad bloated. I've really got no idea..
Posted 19 years ago2005-07-07 20:06:05 UTC Post #119530
Haha.
I have a confession to make:
I haven't been using html for my website, anyone who thought I was, I am not. I just registered a test html website with freewebs and will try convert my website to html when I get the hang of it. One question:
Whats wrong with freewebs? I can understand why you wouldn't like its incredibly slow downloading speed but what else? because Most of my files are remote links.
Posted 19 years ago2005-07-07 20:22:48 UTC Post #119533
Oh my god, you're a horrible little fraud-man :p.

Well, it's slow, it has horrible templates and it has ads. No good.

Hey, I never said I am a damn webdesigner :P .

I can write programs in Visual Basic though, you know, just in case you didn't think I knew any form of coding.

Webdesigning isn't coding.

The crap was that. "Your computer has been hacked by Foxfrost, but not really". Waste of time.

If you want to make a proper page, buy yourself a web host or apply for hosting from eg. HL Gaming or similiar.

I'll buy a domain name whenever I get a job and get in enough money to pay for one.

Web design is very easy. Is there really any point in using templates, generators, etc.? You don't get any sense of achievement. Learn XHTML from the masterful w3schools. You could do it in a day.
