Nothing is finished at all. I just want feedback on the site layout.

Not bad, although the orange background on the side-bar is a bit distracting. You might consider turning it white after the menu ends.

not a big fan of the orage and blue border thingys, plus I like the navigation at the top like we currently have it, rather than on the side

sde · 06-21-2004, 01:24 PM

hmm .. i need more room .. maybe i'll go for a design with top and left nav .. instead of both sides.

hmm... I like it, but the color choice is a bit off... Could be some setting in your profile to change it to something less distracting.

Btw, love the stan figure when you've selected a "you're not alowed here" section..

Just my $.02:
When appearing as a company, no matter how small, you have to be serius abut your design..
In the world of sales there is no room for distracting/disturbing things like flashing images and banner adds. Should adds be needed in order to provide the needed fundings, it should be dealth with in an ordinary manner like here at codenewbie...

I took the freedom to create an entirely new design which might conform the way you want to aproach future consumers: http://redhead.dk/electric/

It will be up for the duration of this week, after that I'll cleanup my domain and all these partly unused things will be removed.

that is a little more than advice .. that's pretty cool of redhead to spend his energy making you a mock-up. he gets a thank you with 2 middle fingers in return.

some people's kids.. lol

Belisarius · 06-23-2004, 06:52 AM

I don't think he realized they were middle fingers. Unless you looked at the name of the gif, they really could be thumbs.

sde · 06-23-2004, 07:19 AM

yes, maybe you're right (maybe) lol. i was just blown away at redhead's effort to the request.

Amaranthine · 06-23-2004, 10:40 AM

those are middle fingers? Heh, I would have never noticed if you didn't point it out.

sde · 06-23-2004, 10:48 AM

hmm .. maybe that is a good psychology test. like ink blots

Sorry red, I didnt realize that damn smiley was giving the fingers, was late when i signed on. I really do thank you for putting so much effort in trying to help a novice. i love computers and I also love linux. but more importantly; I love the idea of being part of the world wide web. And hopefully a big part of it one day. i apologize once again for the fingers, really thought I was giving the thumbs up... I`ll take all the advice that you will offer, Ireally want to make a good site.
