My even better site

Right bit of history:

Djsimpson Designs originally started out as a rubbish crowded piczo site with a plain old proboards forum. So then I took it into my own hand around about halloween and made my own layout and got a freewebs HTML website. (which you can view HERE )

Then my main man on the site, [oli], decided to make an even newer version as I'll admit my version wasnt spectacular but it was a start.

Now we have Version 2 layout created by [oli] and he coded it for me (somehow) and set the whole site up for me as a surprise and I was shocked at the amount of work he had done in a day. He bassicly transfered my website over onto the new one manually (now I call that determination)

The forum did start out as a plain Proboards forum and now [oli] has made it christmassy and hopefully (fingers crossed) will make me a new skin if I ask.


After all this we have version 2:

DJSimpson Designs Version 2

EDIT: [oli] also made it compatible with firefox.

That is so much better than the only **** one.

Next step is to get a host other than FreeWebs, IE, a host ith CPanel, and a proper Domina name

im registering to a .cjb.net domain temporarily untill i can raise money for a .co.uk or .com

EDIT: does it work in firefox?

Well, after you raise money for a domain which is like 8-10$ -.-, then you gotta get hosting for that domain which is like 20-50$/month if you want your site to go big or if you got contacts that do hosting you could tell them to hook you up :D Good luck with everything and the new layout is ay-ok :D.

www.1and1.co.uk sell .co.uk domains for £1.99n ive just got one for my site

Looks nice keep it up must say saw some of them before oh well.

It's far better than the old layouts you were doing, but I still don't like it

same its much better but i still dont like it
get rid of those boxes the ones on the alt pages with a duck with a hat on

where?

Dont add java stuff. Its unstable and make my firefox crash for a few secs.

Its only a clock.

Its not Java, Its JavaScipt

Yup its only Javascript

hmm its much better than v1. a few improvements though:

i assume you are using photoshop:

text for nav and content etc, shouldnt have an antialias or what-not on it. it looks bad. or maybe my eyes are going.

use a proper tiled background, yours looks nooblike.

make a better blend between site and background, either by using better colors or have a defined but style line. alternatively have a gradient into background. just some ideas, they could seriously improve whats already a very nice site.

Not using photoshop [oli] uses dreamweaver and summet else that i forgot but i will pass the ideas onto him. (He's my web designer)

Better Layout just I don't like the text in the boxes.

Why not?

The clouds look suspiciously like Habbo Hotels...

Hmmm sall right i suppouse =) good work

Its quite good but it could be improved.Still nice work

They are i think [oli] gave me them and thanks to everyone.

yeah when i was talking about antialiasing i was talking about the text.
