Feedback on my website

Hi, I'd be an experienced Web Designer could give me their honest opinion on my first website I've done using Dreamweaver. I intend to redesign the site that I better know HTML and CSS now however I would like to know how I could improve the site. Don't worry about criticism that I have a very thick skin and my ultimate goal is to become a web designer so feel free to give me your brutally honest opinion. The site is www.starsfashion.net, thank you.

A couple more comments if you allow me, strictly from the point of view of the Visual design.

I like where you're going with this, but I think you should work on tone up a bit to the bottom of the color palette. Do not distract the viewer too much content that you try to give them - too many different colours can be jarring and painful.

I like the color scheme throughout the header - and in the context of this header graphic, the different colors on the inside work harmoniously and beautifully. But the solid background color you use behind the site, the greenish type you have in your text headings and the blue of your buttons all work against this initial color scheme. I suggest you harmonize colors throughout the site so that you don't have quite as much variety.

Variety is good, up to a point. Then it would all just chaotic. I think that if you made so that the background color were the same magenta tint as a header - or better yet, keep things simple by just solid black background - which will go a long way. In addition, it may even for the lines of text. Choose a shade that is more in line with your head and you immediately have a more consistent look-and-feel.

Then, by looking at the graph of the header itself - beautiful work. But it doesn't ruin by using the incorrect file for the image format. I guess it's a GIF, because I see that the dither pattern created during the save for Web and devices steps. I advise to use JPEG for images that have a photographic content. GIF is better for the buttons, logos, type, everything that has a number limited colors and details. JPEG is best for a wide range of color and photos, like this header image.

I think that the 'Fashion Stars' text at the top of the header reached exactly the effect you are going for. I think a cast of Gothic style might be a bit more on the "goth" side of things and less on the side "glam" of things, so consider something a little more elegant. Against the background color black-ish that you set the logotype is also working on the wonderfully bright background of the header image. Considering that we're looking at what appear to be married / style prom dresses, you really want to pump up the glam factor. So try a larger font for the logo, lose the black background and try maybe white text with a little (just a little you mind) shadow to bring out of the background image.

As far as your headers go, play with CSS a bit - there are lots of cool things you can do. On the one hand, I'd lose the "BOLD" in favour of a somewhat large font size - in a serif font, "BOLD" just do not get that elegant look that you are trying here, so lose it altogether. Try something like a rule (solid line) under your headers. This can be achieved with a simple CSS rule {border-bottom: white 1ps Uni ;} for example, will be but a white line continues beneath your header and the line will extend to the right of the page.} A nice way to separate your sections.

Your navigation (the buttons) is not quite as polished as I think that you can achieve with a little practice - if you are really keen on the Aqua look you are going for here, there are a ton of Photoshop tutorials, you can Google that will give you better results. I'm personally not a big fan of this Aqua look in a site like this - you might be better served with a simple and elegant style tab menu, or even simply clean text might work ok with a bit of CSS massaging. You can also try a BAR button - in other words, a bar graph that extends the same width as the header above her image. Not too big - maybe <60px tall,="" with="" the="" menu="" items="" inside.="" i="" believe=""> http://www.intelliresponse.com has something like that, if you are interested to see what I mean. Of course, their site is much more 3D and high technology and is not really suitable for your target market, but I want to just talk about the bar of navigation under the header image.

Well, I hope that gives you some tips. If this is your first attempt at a web site, then you are doing really well. I have a ton of college students who don't do well from the start.

Continue to ask questions and keep listening different tips and soon you will be pumping the quality Web sites!

Good luck

Tom

  • How to maximize the screen at the opening of the websites of my desktop icons?

    Using Vista Home Premium and IE8, especially when I click a shortcut icon on my office website, the page opens to the minimum size. I can't fix the icon properties to maximize as the right click on properties does not include an option to Maximize, showing that it is a Web page. It is inconvenient to every time, click expand in the top right of the screen. Can I do to solve this problem? Thank you.
    Charles.
    UPDATE: I just hung out on the four sides of the page until it fills the screen. This seems to keep the property for all other Web sites. Thanks to a Forum Member who posted a similar problem. Hope it continues to work.

    Hi charita21,

    Thank you for using answers Forum.

    How do you open Internet Explorer (Start menu, shortcut on the desktop, etc.)?

    You can try this:

    Even if you have this browser open reading this post, open another instance of Internet Explorer 8 (IE8).
    It should open IE8 in the smallest size, maximize the browser by clicking the expand, the top of the page to the right.
    With the browser now expanded, close the browser by clicking on the 'X' at the top right.
    Now reopen the browser by clicking on the 'E' in the quick launch by the button start.
    He opens enlarged?

    Your records are open properly?

    Impatience back on your part.

  • I want to disable the pop up requesting my username and password when I am visiting a specific website

    I recently started getting a pop up asking for my username and password when I'm trying to connect to a Web site. This has happened the last few days, and it doesn't happen on this one site. I go to this website for over a month with no problems. I don't have this problem with other sites. I have not all websites listed in the trusted sites section. So why would I have problems with one but not the other? Especially when I never had problems before 2 days ago.

    I tried a system restore, that does not solve the problem. I went to network and share. My network is set to the public (we have updated internet wirless in place for our home computer and a laptop). Our protected by password sharing is disabled.

    I want to know why this started happening. And how to get the pop up to stop. In addition, I can't display some tabs and photos now that this has started to happen. I am trying to connect towww.biggestloserclub.com. I want things to go back to the way they were before. Help!

    Hi ctippetts,
