Finally

[hello...]

Finally got a stable site working. I used to have one site but the load time was tremendios. So i changed some things. Hope to get comments.

My first Site (In the end my 2nd(beta) will become this link)

http://www.j2t.itgo.com

Second Site (beta)

http://www.just2talk.itgo.com

I would like some comments. Is this a good change? What could i add. As i say in the site. Anything they wan't, ill get. So, What could they wan't?

The first one is alright...but a bit uneven...and the yellow title looks very out of place.

The second one...the black and white background makes the whole site death on the eyes.I say make it solid black.Also..link colors..pick one.

[hello...]

Thats my biggest problem, the background. So you say just solid black. Any more ideas.

What about the contents. My home page is very empty. i would like to add more services to my site.

You know how Yahoo for example gets ap news. how can i do that. do i need to ask them for it, or is there a special code that i can use. Other then i frame?

Also the reason why i changed my buttons into text is becaus i noticed that how most webmasters have it. I did notice it took up a lot of space.

Any more comments gladly welcome

I prefer the background of the first one. The second one as others have mentioned is to much on the eyes.

The first one is easy to navigate, the second one i like the text as buttons perhaps once you have one solid color on the background you can make the links a different color - dont have the white background as this just looks messy against your current background, just change the color of the text.

Brigtly colored text against a dark background always adds something extra.
Why not add pictures to your front page and the rest of the content so you break it up a bit.

I also think the scrolling text on the front page isnt such a good idea because i get annoyed with having to scroll to read text when there is plennty room on the page to read the text you currently have without scrolling needed.

I like the theme of your forum but it does not go with the rest of the site. If you like this theme of the forum why not try to incorporate thos colors in to your website.

The Ukraine page on the second one deinatly does not need to be highlighted in orange as this makes it even more of a struggle to read.

The web pages look like that have been done in Frontpage or a similar WYSIWYG program.

Hope some of this helps.

[hello...]

Thank You. Great Help.

Starting of, the reason why i made the beta page is because of all the hastle. The buttons have to be saved as images, now its just text.

So any recomendations of background? You think the first should stay?

Any cosiderations of other features i should add?

I thought about the scroll too, ill change it, they probably add it when i have more stuff on the site.

So the forum and theam dont go? I also like the theme of the forum. but again, if i do the same thing on my site it gets cofusing cause of all the images.

About the orange. It's a must stay. If you hear in the news, "the orang revolution" is in place. Cant ger rid of it on that page.

yes. it was made if front page.

some more feedback im looking for:
More features
Background
where can i make free art online
etc..

Ok first things first why not change the background to just black. Or a similar solid color. Then your text as buttons in front page all you need to do is highlight the text and click font color make the color something bright and make it stand out.

If you are keen on keeping the scroll box just align to the center and make it with a bit more height.
Why not add a couple of pictures on the right hand and left hand side of the text box once it is centred just pictures that go with what your site is about.

I know about the Ukraine stuff, partly because my dad is over there at the moment seeing his girlfriend lol.
Anyway why not just change the solid background from black to orange on just that page, that way the color goes with your support but doesnt strain too much on the eyes.

I am not sure about making free art, but there is a site:

http://www.istockphoto.com

You do have to pay for this site well for credits but i think the minimum is something like $5 and you can pay through paypal. This site has millions of images and i have found it greatly useful thanks to Ping so if you dont mind paying a tiny bit then why not use that site i am sure you will find fantastic images on there.

[hello...]

Ok. The background was changed and the Ukrainain site, i took ur advise and got rid of the orange.

The new site is:
http://www.just2talk.biz.ly

So ur dad is Ukrainian?

One question that i have. I know their is a script for redirection of pages, put is there one that could do it before anything loads. See, i want to create a 2nd site (www.j2t.biz.ly) for shortcut, but this is a free site and does have ads. So can i make it redirect beforet the ads load?

[cheryl]

You button are a lot better and your logo is cool.
The background looks better as well. As i said try centering your links just under you logo and also the text maybe put a box around it with pictures either side so that it looks more interesting.

A bit like this:

This is only a bit like i thought you should do it to make it more interstesting, and i did that in Frontpage just to show you.

No my dad is not Ukranian he is english but has met a woman on the internet from sevastopol (i think thats how u spell it) anyway they have been chatting for 11 months so he has gone over there for a month and has decided to marry her.

[hello...]

Ahh. Now i see, I didn't update the site yet. But i got the idea.

I have one more question. You know how yahoo has AP news. How can i do that. Do i need to make an agreement with them.

Also, about the pics. I might be deleting the page soon. After all the conficts are fixed.

Im still thinking of more services.

Thanks again

[hello...]

Still waiting for a reply. Site is compleatly updated. Take a look and hope you like. Ukraine was deleted since victory was found.

Games added. home updated

[dexterz]

Comeback when it's done. You still have long ways to go.

[hello...]

what do you mean. any comments to add.

[sash]

First one: I dont like the way you have segregated your menu links from the body of your page - its too compartmentalized, especially with all those borders. I would also make the font smaller, just makes it look more professional.

[hello...]

what do you mean by the segragation?

only the donate is large font. you say that all the borders should go. ill see if i can find another theme. any ideas? free please.

[sash]

What i mean is that you have your menu links then your page header and then your body, it is too distracting and disorganised. Try move the menu links to the side of the page next to the body or directly above the body of your page.I would definitely remove the borders around the body of your page text and make the font smaller. Theres just no structure to the page at the moment.

[hello...]

ok. ill see what i can do. keep you posted;)

any comments on other pages?

[hello...]

hey, one question. do you think that i should have one of those menus that follows the screen.

ex. http://dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/sm/index.htm

[dangerousdarren]

Well they okish. More colour is the main factor your missing out on.

[orangepeel]

i like the first one, neat nav and response game heh.

I also like the fact that the home page doesnt scroll down too much, very usable.

[hello...]

i switched the server and many more things. please check
