New Layout for..

[Ryan_man]

Hey all. I just finished working on a new layout for my gaming site Ultra PC Gamers. Um, it's not completely finished but I need some feedback to make sure im in the right direction. Thanks.

Lemme know what you think.

[Ryan_man]

BTW, I just added a menu to the left. Lemme know if in your opinion it doesn't fit in with the page. I'm a little iffy on the whole thing, but oh well.

i like the feeling at your site but try making those angles to curve. they may look nicer ;)

[Ryan_man]

You mean curve the corners of the top part? Or the menu?

I know how to curve those corners on the top if you ment that, there's an example :)

[pro5ject]

I'd curve of all the corners, but its upto you.
It'd look more pro if u did!! :)

[Ryan_man]

ok, will do later ;) thanks....

[pro5ject]

That was a damn fast reply!!

[Ryan_man]

I know

[zazoo]

I like the layout and I really like the name of the site

im suprised that you could get ultra pc gamers

anyways put a menue to the left and a menue to the right and it will look fantastic

[zazoo]

oh one thing I just noticed was that in the top picture where that girls face is from fianl fantasy 8 or somthing...

theres a lighter colour of black then everywhere else so you might want to change that so you cant tell that you took the pictures from differnt places

[Ryan_man]

Thank you, Yes Ultra PC Gamers is a good name. But guess what, I've had this name or site name going now for almost 3 years. SO, I guess I got lucky :)

last night I changed the layout to what you see now, so yes i'll probally be putting menu's to the left and/or right. We'll see. Thanks all ! :)

[Ryan_man]

Really? On my browser and adobe ps6 it looks prefect. Damnit. Are you using netscape or something? I dono crap.

[Ryan_man]

NM, I think I fixed it... check it out and lemme know?

[zazoo]

It looks good now

the site still looks ok in netscape. A little bit out of wack but still readable

in nescape there isnt any options to the right and the options to the left are long verticaly (its hard to explain but iof you saw it you would know what I ment)

other than that and the line spacing it looks the same

[Ryan_man]

Allright, got any ideas for the middle? Lol, I can't think of what to use for the middle, with the reviews, news, and downloads. Should I use tables (black lined) or just leave it with a line? I dono...

nice looking site, looks professional

[Neverm1nd]

Looking very good Ryan_man!

A few tips:
- can't you design the menu's like this: 1 menu on the left, for navigation and 1 menu on the right for small advertisements, counters, etc.
- make the menu on the left way taller than it is now, because in my opinion it looks a bit empty when you scroll to the bottom of the page
- use more colors? it looks fine now, but I think it will look even better with more colors, and not blue/black like colors

Greetz,
Nevermind

[Ryan_man]

Thanks. But using more colors means changing the whole look. I changed it a little (The right menu will change when I get my email and hosting options up) but it's not really a whole lot different. Lets see here, I made the JS work for the left menu (which btw is not done yet). All I need is suggestions for the middle, I have no idea whether I should use black liners or mabey I should use more table for the middle. Little help on the middle? ;) Feew

[shred444]

hey again. I still like your site, but i was just wondering why you've got two nav bars, one on each side? Are they both the same? Like nevermind said, i think you should put advertisements there. Looks like a good place for them :-)

[Ryan_man]

That's basically what it's there for. I didn't want to leave it empty because it looked so lonely over there on the right side ;)
Yeah I have no ads to put there so i'm just gonna set up a megagiga and everyone.net account. Have any suggestions over Megagiga or Everyone.net? Like any other simular services out there? I don't know, thanks for all the suggestions though ;)
