My new web page :) (Shame-less self promotion)

As noted in the topic

For those of you who saw my old page, you know why I am thrilled with the upgrading. I havn't a clue about webpage design, and I'm sure some here do. Whatcha think? Still not 100% done but I'd say 98% done

Please lose the autoplay function and the moving background, they're really distracting.

Cool website Stephen!

You need to increase the opacity of the gray area. The text is too hard to read with that level of transparency. Also, use a different font or anti-alias mode, the text looks bad. You might like to read up on Flash SEO too - I wouldn't trust most devs to do things properly and you won't get good search engine results otherwise.

You know this is not what this forum is meant for.

It's just too all too busy for me the way it is now. I really don't like the movind background when reading.

Ah. Well the guy does it for a living and makes a ton of money doing it. This is a fact so I'm sure it can't be that bad. I have heard more than one person complain about reading the text though, so I will definately consider that. I wouldn't even know where to begin with a computer language, so I'll have to pass, but I welcome any stupid-people explanations if you're up to offering any. thank you for the input

yeah i agree with the mofo above me you may want to do something with the text way to hard to read.

Woah, now my left eye looks straight and right eye look far right. Loose the moving background. I couldn't read anything on the page because of it.

I thought the site looks neat plus I like the moving stuff. Good job.

Posted by lenieNt Force on Oct-13-2009 15:23:

the moving background would be really cool if it wasn't as jumpy and unstable... That is what makes it so distracting. As for the menu text I agree.. It could be a little lighter.. too dark to be on a completely dark background. That put aside.. I like the concept. Cool page.

Ugggh...Sorry, man, but I hate it and it reminds me of exactly why I killed my old Flash site and went back to conventional old HTML/CSS. The site is heavy on "WOW" and very light on content, is hard to read, has all the annoying Flash elements that web designers tell you to avoid so as to not annoy your visitors, etc. I also found the Flash site a much bigger PITA to update, so I didn't do it very often; whereas HTML/CSS is much easier to keep updated. But, like all objective considerations, YMMV and many people seem to like it, so take my 2 cents for what it's worth.

I found it hard to read too mate, you should maybe think about your colours a little.

Posted by Alekos on Oct-13-2009 19:50:

Constructive criticism:

- Logo doesn't go well with the themes color palette
- Font is to small and hard to due to its color
- Background looks neat but one could see the vid pixels - Better quality would be a huge improvement!
- Contact page looks unorganized

Hope it helps

YO,

Nice site but i have to agree with the doodes above.

The auto play of the music is a tad annoying and the moving background makes concentration difficult, either do something to show the text better or loose the background.

Also most web developers know nothing about S.E.O so i would check if i where you.

all the best,

Mark
