Website Critique

  • I am sixteen and have been working on my first site this one for about four months now, so if you think something needs to be changed or you have a better idea lay it on me. Thanks
  • Nothing loads, only the buttons... where is the content?
  • Are you talking about the home page?
  • The home page is a calendar and it takes a few seconds to load.
  • My eyes hurt. Can I suggest maybe toning the colors down a bit? You can use bold colors without them being annoyingly bright, especially on the Registries. I had to look away when I opened this one up: http://www.cordialcottage.com/baby-registries-girl.php

    I'd also suggest buying some software like Photoshop or similar, to create some better looking graphics, rather than just plain text on a solid background.

    I'd give you more feedback but I can't look at it any longer as it's causing my eyes to go funny.
  • what color would you suggest?
  • Hi Chanman,

    Despite the colors i think its a very fine first website, trust me when i made my first website it wasent remotely close to what you have accomplished.

    With that in min i will agree with JohnnyB here about the colors.

    may i sugest to look at this site kuler this is a really cool site to if you want to learn wich colors matches eachother.

    Goodspeed.
  • Yeah, solid square colors are boring. Another good site for colors is Pictaculous. Upload an image that you like and it gives you a short list of colors that complement it.

    I'd change the zebra-striped background as well; like others have said, tone it down a bit.
    Otherwise, it's much better than anything I did as a 16 year old.
