SITE REVIEW: Before-Reality.net [updated 2/2/04 22:15]

thats my fav word

Shooting for a fast load, and standards, I have made a new layout that relies solely on CSS and no images thus far.

What do you guys think?

tighten up the header a bit, seemed fuzzy

Gee thanks for the...um...review?.... Well anyways it is just a font, so it will not look any different no mater how big the spacing is between letters.

But thanks........I think...I'll have to reflect upon that and get back to you....

(PS. This review will not count towards your three reviews for a website. Thanks for trying though!)

thats all i thought was needed, sorry i didnt know you wanted us to slam it, that was my criticism and thought that was all that was needed to improve site, i could be real anal and just make stuff up, was fine looking site just needed to tighten it up a bit, im just a fan of clear, crisp images, at least brighten the colors up a bit where it says "before reality occurs" dont take any of this the wrong way.

B_heyer -- you're on the right path.

HTML is for structure
CSS is for appearance.

Good direction to be in.

I think you could really spice this page up with some more graphics and a better laid out index. It's a very good start tho.

The currently working pages, and the in the works pages boxes might better go next to each other one on either side.

The "Home" text would look better as an image file. It looks very plain as text.

My opinion has always been "If you havent made it, dont link to it!" ... Noone wants to wander around a half finished site, so pack your tools away until your ready for them to be linked from the main menu

It viewed well in my IE 800x600

whoops! I think you two (musik and slick) are looking at the wrong page...

this is the "new" address:

ATNO - I love css, I also love what the page looks like without it, fascinating!

We are looking at the address thats in your original review on the first post.. in that case scrap my review - wrong page.

Hello again everyone, just wondering what you all think of the new layout (yes it's been around for a while). As well as the image headers (randomized). I plan to get some more photos to go up there, so you can always have a fresh view of the page.

Let me know what you all think

Honey, they say blue and green should never be seen, but I think they look cool together!

Your really coming along with your design

I like it (the concept) ...but that particular shade of green doesn't do it for me. I'm also not overly fond of the white-on-green (at least not that shade of green -- forest green...maybe). And I have never been a fan of Times New Roman. It just looks "typed". But I do like the concept in general. I also love your graphic. I think you're almost there. Don't take my color critique too hard...that's just my view of it.

I liked the layout of the site, only thing I found, but very minut... the mouse over on the "archives" link disappears because it fades to the same green that the bar is. Other than that the site is very minimalistic, and I think it fits. Also I think there should be more header imges to scroll through... There are only two now that I can see, I liked the idea that it changes, but there should be more. Overall I like it.

musik: thank you! I've been trying to get some content up but want my structure to be sound.

ATNO/TW:I'll experiment with a few colors of green in a little bit and get back to you on that, I agree it is a LITTLE to intense. As for the font, that is my fault, I haven't updated my font families lately and...*checks over css* actually it is set up to Courier New right now, thats a lot more typish then TNR. I need to update my families for *nix/windows compatibility but haven't got around to it completely (have done the title's).

S][ren: I know the site doesn't contain much now, like I said before, need to structure first. The archives link is a css blooper, and happened when I changed the navi link colors. I'll fix that along with the font-families. I just came up with the idea for multiple images when I posted so I haven't had time to take more photos (thinking extreme panoramic is tricky ).

Thanks everyone! I'll get back when I get another major update done.
