Just looking for some help from people here. CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM is asked for. If you’re going to be an ass, I suggest you go elsewhere.
I’m working on designing a page that is primarily... I wouldn’t say business, but it’s not completely personal either. I like the colour scheme... but I know that it probably needs to change. I’m so so when it comes to designs... I know BASIC HTML and that’s about it. I can copy / paste codes, but don’t know PERL, JAVA / JS, CGI or anything else. I’m looking for ideas of goosing up the site so people will visit.
http://leesaxton.tripod.com/Spooky.html is the site.
Oh... and I can even change what comes after the .com/ I just used that because it was easy and I was originally designing this a different way, but changed it.

Slowly changing over time... however I’ll probably leave the little bit about me in there.
Mostly tryin to promote Isis Books and Gifts at the top of the page, and then selling screensavers towards the middle / bottom.

Tam: Which version of green? This one’s a little more “sedate”
It’s not the Day Glo Green right now.
For now, I’ve settled on this design that it’s at for the moment.
What say you?

Looks nice. I think it look’s nicer if you lose the black border around the “Spooky’s Page” and that cool little symbol. I had a little play around with the pics (hope you don’t mind). If you want the “edited” pics i’ll send them to you so you can see what i mean.
I’ve always loved purple and green together, looks great!

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm I just read about your Jack Russell Screen Savers.... do be do!
LittleSpooky said on October 21, 2005 17:27:
Ally: Not complete yet. Had to go back and resize some of those pics because all you could see was white fur or blade of grass across the screen.
Shore... send the edited pix along, I’ll look at em.

Hej Spooks. Site looks great so far! I’ll agree, the green and purple are hard on the eyes....but colours are such a personal choice;-)
I would recomend maybe changing the font and size of the lettering, as it night make it easier to read and more ’interesting’ and compact, if that makes sense (not that’s it not interesting! But it takes a while to take it all in......hope that makes sense! Maybe put each segment in a box, with a hyperlink. That was it looks like you’ve loads of little titbits all over the website. Just my 2 cents worth, but you’ve done more than me with a website, so the feedback can only be constructive:-))))))
Good luck with developing the page....I should mayb do one some day but am sure noone wants to see my collection of porn, lol;-)

PRON!!!!!
Oh.. I don’t know. You can email me something and I’ll let you know if I’m “interested”
lmfao
And like I said... it’s a WIP (work in progress). I’m still trying to find links all over. The “twins” at the top are clickable banners. I’m an Affiliate of theirs (BUY SOMETHING *lmfao*)

Thanks to Kachina for some suggestions.
Now how does it look? :o)

I’d love one buy my pennies are low at the moment, perhaps when I next get paid I’ll get one from you! :)
LittleSpooky said on October 24, 2005 23:39:
Ally: I’ll start combining the pictures soon.
btw... did you want pix of Alfie in there? If so, email them to me at [email protected]. And I translated out the cost using:
So, contact me and we’ll go from there. You’ve seen what the discs look like, yes?
ally77 said on October 20, 2005 22:17:
Well I like the black colours, I am not too sure on the bright green colours for the writing, as it kinda hurts your eyes after a bit.... :)
Is the site gonna stay the same with the imput i.e about you or for something else different...
