Well, here it is!

Here (http://gto.aphelaura.net/index2.php)

I'm testing my design here first before moving to my paid hosting later this week.

Thanks.

its O.K.

the design is good, but some suggestions:

1. change the grahpics on the right so they dont have the purple glow around it
2. The tables for the news are too big, making lots of empty space. make them smaller.

otherwise its quite nice.

like cyber already said, the news-tables are too big

and too much space on the dark background (in the middle) wasted

Seem to load so slow at the first time...

1. Don't use fixed font.. use xx-small or x-small instead for smaller size font
2. I think the page has so much YELLOW..maybe the link at the top or menu.. you can use other color
3. When browse in smaller window, your content disappear.. don't leave the space in the area like that..
4. Good logo
5. I don't know I see many space left empty.. you do it for purpose?
6. Something is not so good when you use center alignment, I can't explain..
7. The menu that words are cutted to the new line isn't so good.. try to think of new design .. maybe indent the new line word will help


It would be so good if you can remove the unused space...

Nav bar's info box takes up too much space.

I though it looked nice, but like the others, the tables are too big and make the page look out of proportion

1. Don't use fixed font.. use xx-small or x-small instead for smaller size font

This one I don't really understand. Can you really explain about this one?


2. I think the page has so much YELLOW..maybe the link at the top or menu.. you can use other color

I've set the css to use yellow (actually it's orange) for links. Maybe I should use graphics as navigation menu instead of text?


3. When browse in smaller window, your content disappear.. don't leave the space in the area like that..


5. I don't know I see many space left empty.. you do it for purpose?

Well, the link above is the only page where I used nested tables. And I think I have modified the tables for the news so it will use more space. For other pages, I actually will use all the space available, for example at this link (http://greatteacheronizuka.net.kg/mansum/1/5.php).


6. Something is not so good when you use center alignment, I can't explain..

Well, I really want to know more about this one.....


7. The menu that words are cutted to the new line isn't so good.. try to think of new design .. maybe indent the new line word will help

This one I also don't really understand, can explain more please?


Nav bar's info box takes up too much space.

Unfortunately I have to do that for cross-browser compatibility.

Thanks for the feedback. Hope to know more about the things I don't understand.....

hi i like the layout and the colours ... beside the oval looking thing, that u have for the on the left.. but that just me.. :)

[Archbob]

It doesn't fit the 800*680 resolution.
Please make it fit.

1. Don't use fixed font.. use xx-small or x-small instead for smeller size font

This is what you are using font-size: 11px
You can change it to font-size: x-small


I've set the css to use yellow (actually it's orange) for links. Maybe I should use graphics as navigation menu instead of text?

Yes, you might want that for the top link.. however, I think just set up the different color for left menu or top link menu will help.


Well, the link above is the only page where I used nested tables. And I think I have modified the tables for the news so it will use more space. For other pages, I actually will use all the space available, for example at this link.

I saw an imporvement on your page.. but you can maximize the space.

<!--generated by fusion 2.5--><a name="54975"><table width="80%" border="2" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" bordercolor="#454545" bgcolor="#333333" align="center">

You are using NetObject Fusion? :) Ok.. get to the topic. 80% isn't enough in my opnion, increase it more! say 95% if you want to leave some small space..


6. Something is not so good when you use center alignment, I can't explain..

> Well, I really want to know more about this one.....

I can't explain sorry..
for an example look here

° Vote for your favourite GTO character here!
° nice!!
° Pretty please.....(abt. volume 14)
° Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
° GTO volume 21

I think if you use left alignment with border (put it into table) or different background color without border (border=0) or table with border will be better than use center alignment.


7. The menu that words are cutted to the new line isn't so good.. try to think of new design .. maybe indent the new line word will help


Example is here:
> Wallpaper - Eikichi Onizuka
and Azusa
Fuyutsuki.

The words are cutted to the new line.

.................

Ok please try to use all the unused space..

NEWS | ABOUT GTO | MANGA SUMMARIES | DRAMA & ANIME | PICTURES & FANARTS | CHARACTERS LIST | MESSAGE BOARD | MISC. SECTION | SIGN/VIEW GUESTBOOK.

You can use the shorter word to reduce the space this bar use..
because you already got JavaScript to help on info for each link
MINIMIZE THE SPACE! this JavaScript use.. say 2 line should be enough. You seem to leave many space unused..

Yes and your page doesn't fit into 800x600.
<table width="924" border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#333333" bordercolor="#454545">

Here 924.. change it to 90% or 100% as you want.. change every place that you fix the table width like that.. the only fix column would be the left column for your menu.. and leave the right column undefined (it will be variable) for your content

Hope they are clarified now.

Well, I have fixed where I think I should do, and please review my website again please. This is at my new server, so it should be faster. And about the website doesn't fit in 800x600 resolution, I am doing it with purpose, so hope that there's no comment about that.

Thanks again.

Uhu, about font-sizes, the key words are rather quirky. Even x-small is _very_ small in a browser that doesn't render them bigger than intended like IE5 does. I suggest em or %. If you go for key words don't go below x-small and use that only for things like copyright.

[aphel aura]

I think I don't use keywords there, but use size 12 pt instead for all texts; body and links.

[meow]

Sorry, but I hope you mean px? Points are for printed text. Worst choice for screen and absolutely not resizeable. :)

[aphel aura]

Yeah, my mistake, it is actually px.
