    My website design

    What does everyone think of my website design?

    be the last I need until the end result

    I know there is this one error with the nav bar graphics if you resize it to small but I am going to fix that with <nobr>.

    Light blue doesn't go well with white, green doesn look good on grey. Its just bad color contrast overall, find color that work better.

    Ok I have made a stronger color contrast and finally fixed the green(I had a previous request to change the letter color because the contrast made it "hard to see"). And as for the tone of gray in the three middle images. I put those three in the middle so it would have more symmetry since the gray back ground was created by the image editor and I never noticed until I made to first three I can't change that so easily but it should work fine.
    By the way I was going to add a forum button but I could not think of a good rollover image. But I think now that the design is done in the interest of space I will leave that link out.

    It looks okay if it's targeted towards a bunch of 5 year-olds...

    Well I like the design just fine. Besides its targeted at 6 and up. Of course not! Look at the following content and tell me if any of these desk configurations would hold the attention of a first grader.

    Well it looks awkward looking that the text looks too wide for the rest of the page.

    Hmm... I 'll try to fix that at a later time. I assume you mean the words: "version seven" those are about twice their normal width so I can understand the concern. It will be fixed in time.

    The design's simple, but not too good if you're targetting at more matured visitors, as Bruce said.

    My quick impressions are that the lettering in the logo is hard to read, but once you get it its not annoying. To my eye, the "media section" button has lousy contrast.
    If you don't want to change your colors, you could move the red away from the top left position. Top left is where most people's eyes go, its prime real estate and a lousy place to hide things.
    I would also make the blue on red button either a little used one, that people won't be looking for or a rediculously common button that everyone uses all the time so they don't need to read it, they just need to find it.

    On a more personal note, people who say "I love your site" aren't helping you. They're nice people, but you haven't learned anything from them. You already know your site is lovable. The people who say "I realy hate ..." are teaching you something and giving you a chance to improve your lovable site.

    Thank You, merickson, I will take your advice about the red and move it. Secondly, I did not really notice the problem with the red, but now that I look at it more carefully I see what you mean. I have nothing wrong with constructive criticism. I guess I could change the colors but my problem with adding blue is that it will be very close to the text color (it could do light blue and that would probably work) but if it doesn't work and I need to change the text colors for that one the others will then have a problem so I will need to change their color as well. As for the strange text could you be talking about the "Unown" type? Such as: the text here . When I put that type of text in my website design I was assuming that my target audience would be able to read it because it is text that represents the 26 forms of a Pokemon called "Unown" "Annon" in japenese I belive. These pokemon are in the shapes of roman letters.
