Hey all,

I have surfaced from the depths once more to request your opinions on the visual design of a site I have made, not the code side, I know thats crap and needs converting to include CSS properly, but thats a job for a rainy day.

Just a note, search for "timesplitters fansite" on google, top entry, yeah!

It's fine, but I'm not sure on the white background. Try changing the colour to #CCCCCC (I think.) That should look good. (I think.)

Done. How's your site these days? I haven't been around here for ages...

No background change? Even after I CTRL + F5...

It's all going good on my site. I've got a brand new completely W3C invalid site that looks great and an even better PHP + MySQL backend that has no validation what-so-ever and that's open to abuse by anyone!

Not an image in site. Have a look at:
http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamatic/

Nice tutorials on design navigations using lists and CSS. Well worth learning.

Looking OK though.

Aye, Tyla is right, forget about using tables and embrace CSS and xHTML strict.

That'll learn ya.

So you used over 4000 characters to say "Looking OK though."
I thought your answer related to load times / files size - how would this affect the visual look of a site ?





It's just an observation - don't take it seriously...

Ok calm people, I welcome code comments because when that rainy day comes I can edit the site. It was essencally a quick design I wanted to get completely done in a day, which is what I did.

So, general concenses is it's looking ok?
