Would Like Advice On Website Design
-
I have been doing stuff with websites for a very long time, and this new one that I am working on just isn't really doing it for me...
It is a local music / electronics page and I'm just not sure what to do with it.
I'm hoping that some people can take a look at it and give me some feedback that I can use to make it better.
My other big website (my baby) is http://www.clubredline.net
Just recently, in the newest version of Mozilla Firefox my navbar on the left side lost it's spacing and needs to be redone - caused by new definitions of how code is interpreted.
So, if you have a minute or are bored, please check out http://www.overbeeks.com . I would love to know what other people think of the site.
Thank you.

looks juvinile.. fisher price-ish.
The horrible quality of the images in the layout its self hurts (both sites).
Buttons just look ehhhh.
general layout inconsistencies (widths of the orange is different - nav bar should continue down the page, etc).
And a hit counter? Those shouldn't even be allowed on teh internets anymore. Traffic data is necessary for the site owner and developer only - it's tacky otherwise.
and this explains the fail for the content images (at least the banner). Do NOT force an image up in size - especially browser side - because the image quality goes to complete shit.
There is no reason to post huge images in your content like that (IMO). Thumbnails and one larger photo (when I say larger - 200x300ish or so) and wrap the text/content around it. If you want to explain more - take it to a new page and expand it (this is why I hate some of the blogs out there).
Now the fact that this was built with a template/site builder I'm not sure what of it you'll actually be able to change.

What are your thoughts on the idea that if only a 200x300 image is displayed, you can not see much detail? I personally like to be able to see the little things. Won't you lose a lot of that if limit image size that much?

It was built in Yahoo Site Builder, which is really a big bummer. I took over the project that someone else had begun. If I was to start from scratch today I would have used Joomla. I made the other site (clubredline) starting with code and then began using Dreamweaver but no content manager.

The flyer I should've said - for the show (I haven't pulled up the site again - it was that first big image).What are your thoughts on the idea that if only a 200x300 image is displayed, you can not see much detail?

People are smart enough to know that if they want to see more - click the image. If there are specific details you NEED to see, crop the image.It was built in Yahoo Site Builder, which is really a big bummer. I took over the project that someone else had begun.

Use whatever you so desire - but if this is a 'business' you intend to be taken seriously with - stay the hell away from these wysiwyg editors (that includes design view on dreamweaver)
