Thread: Just Finished My New Site

Tweet

First, I loved my old site. It was a lot of fun and it was all flash. I will miss it, but this site should be a lot easier to revise and edit, so I'm going with this version. Please take some time to look around and let me know what you think, or what you think might be missing.

Thanks!!

Looks great, the layout is very easy to navigate. It was a treat to read the nice narration at the tutorial section too

Thanks! Took me all weekend to put it together. Lots of pics to go through for the galleries.

Another nice feature of this version is that you can view it on an iPad.

Wow! You did that in a weekend? That's impressive.

The overall design and the slideshows look great. I've been trying to get up to speed on web stuff for a few years and this is one of the nicest looking slideshows I've seen. Really like the header too.

I love the simplicity of things, and the lack of Flash. Bad flash scripts are the biggest problems I run into on my computer these days, so I generally block it. I'll have to get out the iPad and take a look.

The only thing I could get picky about is the line-height on the body text is a little tight for me, but that's pretty subjective.

Do you use Google Analytics? My wife has a blog and she loves being able to tell who's visiting and where they are coming from. She's a bit of a stalker.

Great job! (It doesn't hurt that you've got an awesome Haunt to start with. Love the tombstones and skeletons.)

very impressive!

Looks great TK!

Looks very very good.

I love everything, but those ornate frames around the pics on each section start are so pretty!

Thanks for the feedback!

1. I like the slideshow, too. It's a JQuery script which is simple, stable, and easily expandable.

2. I also get a little frustrated with Flash (even though it's what I usually program in). I mean, I love what I can do in Flash, but I don't like some of the patform and accessibility issues once it's live.

3. I'm still working with some of the CSS script settings. For right now, I think I'm happy with the line height, but I can't see how it looks on every possible platform and version. I know it looks nice on my XP Pro OM and my wife's iPad, which is what I was shooting for.

4. I go through GoDaddy.com as my host, so they provide all the analytics I need. I don't do a lot of visitor tracking, so I don't keep up on that side of traffic stats.

Well, it looks great on the Mac, so no worries there. Again, great work!

Looks great. I like it a lot. I like the pretty frames around some of the pictures and the background looks nice a eerie with the trees. It's easy to navigate as well. Nice job.
