SITE REVIEW: Tizag.com Webmaster Tutorials

Hey guys, I just polished up my first real website and I'm looking for some constructive criticism. My old page was ePearl Tutorials, but the site has been compeltely redone, and now has a shorter web address.

Please visit Tizag.com
and let me know what you think of this new website.

I don't have the time to go indepth with all the stuff there, but the page seems to have a nice layout *fixed width is a problem at higher resolutions, I see that now, didn't know what you were referring to at first*. I like your opening page, but I was thinking it could follow the drug advertisment a little smoother by making a colorful cd and saying "This is you webpage on ePearl". Looks good otherwise

I would suggest that you put on more eye-catching graphics. The tutorials are awesome and I'd definitely recommend your site for those that are starting to learn html and css. I would also suggest that you add tutorials on text filters (like glow, shadow, drop shadow) because that's where the future of text graphics is (I think).

b_heyer, I redid the intro page, I knew it sucked, but I was too lazy to put thought into it.

gba_m, I know this site needs a lot of graphical enhancement. Any specifics? Menu graphics, menu border graphics, content border graphics, category title graphics, etc?

thats sooo much better!!!

on http://tutorials.epearl.net/cssT/liveEx ... style1.php that page, get rid of the border on the image in the top left

It's my personal opinion that "eye-catching" graphics distract the reader and make it more difficult to learn. I can't stand it when teachers decorate their classrooms because I find it hard to concentrate on their lectures when there's so much neat stuff to look at! Perhaps this is just me, though...

but who wants to concentrate on lectures?!

Hahaha i would have to agree with geekette. But i also have to agree with b_heyer because i never listen to lectures either...I just thought i would add my

Yesi t has a good layout and aalot of info to help people with, keep updating it

I've changed my website a great deal and moved the URL to Tizag.com. Let me know what you think of the new Tizag.com.

site has a decent layout and importantly it is easy to read and navigate. Maybe a few unnecessary links here and there but tutorials are very clear and easy to follow. However there aren't enough tutorials at the moment to compete with other sites.

I think the layout is great. Havn't tried at diff resolutions though.

It is one of the "easiest on the eye" websites I have seen in a while. Though an inexperienced web user prob would move on quickly as discussed before there is no graphics and the usually will just think it is boring. I on the other hand think that it is great. I could read your page much easier than most and info is easy to find.

1 problem I did find after reading the heading and then the text in the middle of the page I then tried to click on the headings to get more info. And and and then is that I found out that they are not links. I tested this by asking my business partner to look at the site and I watched what he did it took 5 sec before he was trying to click on them with obviously no success.

Excellent look and feel fro what you are doing. Good luck.

Could you please give me a direct link to the page in question and the headers you are talking about? I'm a little slow, and I have heard this complaint before but I can't seem to grasp where this is...

Thanks a ton for this feedback.

It is on the home page.

The headings in the middle. "Lessons Aimed at You"
"Learning Through Examples"

And so on down the page.

Good Luck.
