Ok, so I’ve been having a lot of critisism on www.roxette.co.za. If there is anybody out there who’d like to say what the website requires, or needs to get rid of, tell it here. I know a lot of you don’t like the website, but now’s your chance to say what you would like on the website.

Egmond...

I’m no expert, but here are the 3 elements that I try to consider when making a new site:

1. Colours - Experiement with a colour scheme and stick with it. Don’t go crazy and use ALL the colours of the rainbow. Usually 2-3 colours will give you a good theme. The trick is to find colours that compliment each other.

2. Content - What’s your angle? What is your target audience? The best site’s are the ones that can spot a gap in the market and serve it well.

3. Browsers - Arrrghhhhh! So many bloody browsers!!! Each of which display sites in different ways. The best sites are the ones which can present their design in the same way REGARDLESS of the type of browser being used. This is quite tricky for the beginner.

Stick with it dude... your latest design is far better than the previous effort and thats the best way to learn... Keep on making new sites... Good luck :)
