New Site.

[kender]

Hmm, i decided to post it on Mirage because you guys have the best criticism, and i needed some help with the navigation. but tell me what you think so far, and what i should change.

Wow that's small..

[Robin]

Are those sprites Rm2K or RMXP?

[kender]

its supposed to be small. and its RMXP >.> no im not a noob that uses just RMXP

[Matt]

I would never use a site that small. Tbh, I wouldn't even go to a site that small.

I don't consider it too small, Although a forum wouldn't fit in it. I would get rid of the 3 sprites, unless you fade them out more so you don't see the pixels so easily.

[Robin]

The font and colours are terrible.

I like it, but there's room for improvement. I don't think it's too small. I like small websites, though I wouldn't go much smaller than that. Its nice to have something that will fit an 800x600 resolution with no problems.

However, I think the main content box should be a bit wider. Something else that kinda bugs me is the placement of the navigation and content boxes. I think the navigation should line up with the left side of the banner, and the content should line up with the right side of the banner.

This brings me to the banner itself. It's a bit big, don't you think? I think it'd look better if you made the banner a bit shorter. I do like how the word "Zen" kinda drifts off the side of the banner, but I think the word should be bigger, and dominate the banner. Also, what's up with such a drastic color cut near the top of the banner? I think it'd look better with that darker blue all the way, or at least faded more seamlessly.

Sonire pretty much has the right idea. Small websites are nice, 800x600 is what I usually always start off with and work with the size, sometimes it ends up smaller, other times bigger.

The only thing I could add to Sonires thoughts is the sprites, they kind of ruin the smoothness of the rest of the page. Also, I hate the bar pattern in the background, maybe make it a gradient?

Problem with a site that fits to an 800x600 screen res, is that very few people still use that small of a res. I use 1024x768 on my wife's computer, and 1280x1024 on mine.. That site is too small for the bigger res' that people use. A lot of people use res' bigger than what I use..

Hell, I'd use a bigger one, if my monitor supported it.

[Robin]

Make the site resizeable :D

[Coke]

The site should stretch to the right to fill the available screen space.

who needs page formatting anyway ^_^
