I have recently put up a new site design and would love to get tips by great so thats y would like everyone to tell me whats good wahts bad and whats needs to be there.

my url is www.G-uniX.com

The start page is annoying..
should atleast be a smaller file.

but better yet, get rid of the whole image. make a simple background to the page and insert text on top.
the actual site is pretty nice but again with all the images. 56ker's aren't going to like your site very much. :P
and the text in the nav is kinda hard to read.

why is the title banner flash. :blink:

i'm using a 1024x768 resolution and the screen still needs scrolling. very bad.

text is not that hard to read but should be much clearer, try tahoma or something.

as rossco said, why is the banner in flash?

bit more work needs done imo ;)

[NeoTheOne]

kk Thanx so tuff im removing the into page and adding a file that is much much smaller , banner will be jpeg , text will be tohoma btw where in the context box?

Plain & Simple - Too fancy, too many graphics.

Too many Photoshop tricks have been used in the graphics that it makes it look a gallery to show off Adobe's wares rather than for any other purpose. Like Rossco said, it's going to piss off visitors with 56k connections and it makes the site look no different from the numerous other sites which use PS heavily.

Maybe my being harsh is due to the fact that I prefer simplistic, cleaner web designs - But it's a classic case of "Just because the features are there doesn't mean you have to use them". But an effective web design doesn't always involve fancy graphics, and great web designs like that of AppleGeeks.com (http://www.applegeeks.com) show you don't have to have great graphics to have a great site.

so everybody what do u presume i do

[Samurai]

Simplify.

Majority of visitors including myself like to see a nice, clean site with easy to read text and graphics. Anything that flashes is almost def a no-no.

nsane's site (see my sig) is a good example of this. Very clean and easy to use. Graphics are not hard to make, just don't make them 'over-colourful'

[NeoTheOne]

okay thank you i will start working on then

[cpt_azad]

as Samurai said simplify it, oh and the side buttons are very hard to make out, might consider changing them too.

This is NOT a place to promote your website !

:whistling

[{I}{K}{E}]

2 many different colors. logo @ top is way 2 big.

[slimboyfatz]

If this is ya 1st attempt at a site..then not a bad try.....but!!!!

That top image is waaayyy to big, even on cable it stinks! I thinks the site seems a little late 90's style, MacOS gel style buttons just look it a little old hat now m8!...I think the logos ok, if ya just made it much smaller and popped it at the top of ya page...that torn steel effect behind ya nav buttons looks kinda ok...work at it m8!!!

Heres a quick style for ya site i had a play about with...like someone posted earlier..the cleaner and less cluttered..the better!!!

Nice site.

[NeoTheOne]

can i use that site but something more along those lines, bascilly can i use it to inspire me for a new site

[tesco]

what site are you talking about? nsane's?

[orcutt989]

It still looks too complicated. It looks like a Photoshop tutorial on "how to make websites look bad". Why cant you just make things simple? And get rid of all the the BuBleY stuff. I still have to scroll the entire page on 1024xwhatever resolution.

[trajillo]

crap

[RealitY]

You should reallt look around for some templates to make it simpler, perhaps someone can link you to some...
