Webpage layout

[World Domination]

I'm not sure if this is the right section or not, if it's not a mod please move it to the appropriate section.

This is the first web page layout I've ever made. I created, sliced, etc. this layout myself. It's my first so it's not the greatest, but I don't think it's too bad for being my first.

Please rate/hate & tell me how to improve.

I don't really like it, first if doesn't even take up my screen , but the navigation buttons are to big and the green doesn't really suit.

&& get a new banner

Not flaming, just saying.

It doesn;t take up my full screen either, because I made it 1024X768 which is the default resolution on most monitors, which means more than likely more people will have it as a resolution.

the navigation buttons are to big and the green doesn't really suit.

I know they are rather large, I forgot I was making it zoomed out at 66.7% so everything turned out larger than I intended.

The bevel and emboss tool can be quite useful, but only if you use it right. Currently, I don't think it looks good for you.

Yeah. I haven't really ever been a fan of the Bevel and Emboss tool, but it seemed suitable for this.

And where you have "Examples" you might want to replace that with "Portfolio" to be a bit more professional.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Lastly, try to get your site more uniform with a theme. Your buttons for contact, examples, etc are kind of crazy design, and the rest is a uniform black and dark gray. Try to stick with a certain mode/ feeling.

Now that you say that, yeah, I agree. It doesn't fit well. I will try out some other colors.

And I'd make a more interesting header and background.

The header is just one I had from like a year ago, and I just slapped it up there to fill space until I decide to make another one.


Thank you both for your constructive input.

The coding can really be revised some. The images that you've spliced at the top can be better, there are too many pieces. You might want to explore a bit more when building a layout. A good way to build better layouts is to take a look around and draw some inspiration; Get that "feel" and imagine it before doing the design.

Overall, it needs improvement but it certainly isn't bad for your first layout. A website should be appealing to the audience.

That's because I removed it as I was in the process of changing it completely. I've updated the link.
