If you want to check out this website then please do so. It's pretty lame so far, but if you could send your own reviews on any game that would be appretiated. I'll put it on the website.

Don't know if you've changed stuff since posting the topic, but it doesn't look too bad.

Still, if you're serious about the designage I'd learn some HTML (it's not that hard) or at least get hold of a decent editor package.

The site doesn't really have much personality to it though. Part of that is from using a template instead of giving it a propper design, part of it is the lack of a logo and such images, it just generally seem very plain.

Maybe consider how you want the pages to link together, what links you want on each page. Also, make the main text column wider and use a bigger font. That looked on the small side on my 800 monitor, it's no doubt pretty tiny with a regularish screen at 1024 res.

The content was good though, what was there at least.

I think Geocities is fine, people seem to think Frontpage and Geocities is bad but I don't see how it is. All it means is you can preview what you've written.

Plus, there's no point in making an all-HTML website if you don't know how to use tables properly, or, as Tyla has shown, CSS.

Erm...okay it looks quite poor, but the reviews are relatively good.

You should continue with it.

Don't use page wizards, though!

I love the way everyone has this great vision of making a webiste using Geocities but after the great rush of getting it designed, you lose the fun of it and you just can't be bothered...

I made a Perfect Dark site once. It had a front page with an introduction to the game. I expected people to email me and stuff.

I got bored after a day.

Same with my site at the moment, I really want to design it so that it's really good. I want to learn how to make a decent design for it instead of the crappy layout it has at the moment...

I'll try and redesign it in the summer...

If I can be bothered...

And you should widen the column of writing.


And more than 1 screen shot would be nice.


And perhaps a box for the scores.
