Drummerpete Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 It looks alright but it just seems like ia carbon copy of a trendy site just now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 what trendy site do you speak of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drummerpete Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I'm not saying it looks bad - I actually like it - I just think you should try to think out of the box a little more because these things have really been done to death and look like complete unoriginal.

Medleyy Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 It looks like Photoshop CS5's intro screen. Seems dull and generic, and somewhat boring. Maybe use some less done-over ideas or have a few animated bits that make it moderately fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the latter… I have on more idea up my sleeve if this is a flop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drummerpete Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Looks very Apple-ish.Could be either an insult or a compliment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medleyy Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 @Chief:> Your opinion doesnt mean a thing to me.Because the best way to build a good website is to ask for opinions and ignore them when they're given. Aren't you a clever one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't you a clever one?Now that really depends on who the advice is coming from.Also, yeah. I thought so. I am already in the process of doing my last idea before I have to rethink it all lol.

Medleyy Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 @Chief:> Now that really depends on who the advice is coming from.So because you disagree with me on a subject, you ignore what I have to say about your work? Pfft. You can't ask for an opinion and throw a strop when it's generally negative. Look at your work and tell me it isn't dull. Honestly, stop letting your personal, silly little grudges get in the way and take a long, hard look at stark reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 Our debate in off-topic has nothing to do with anything. Youre not a respectable web designer in my book, so why would your advice carry any merrit? So how about we use our brains in the matter. Youre now the one that has carried anything over into something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medleyy Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 And how would you know I'm not a web designer? Assumptions, assumptions, assumptions. Also, if I'm not, you should want the advice of the ordinary people who visit your website and value it similarly to that of an experts.Get your head out of your arse and stop trying to be morally superior.

Chief Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 @Aeri:> -snip-> Get your head out of your arse and stop trying to be morally superior.First of all, do I need to know? No. Its my choice to accept advice from some, and not from others. I choose to not accept from you because I havent seen your work, so your opinion is only words on my screen. If I saw some of your work, and decided that you were a web designer, then I would accept your advice.As to your last comment; Dude, you need to take a break. Nobody mentioned morals here. Move along now, eh? If youre not willing to play nice outside of a debate, you need some fresh air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medleyy Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 @Chief:> If youre not willing to play nice outside of a debate, you need some fresh air.What do you think I was doing when I posted here? Derp.Anyway, don't listen to me if you don't want to. If you're going to go ahead and make a dull website, that's your prerogative. Your own demise. I tried to help, you didn't want it. Fine by me.

Chief Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 Also, the main audience for this website is web designers, so I could care less what people of other interest would think. This needs to be standards compliant, show off CSS3, and generally be simple. Something most non-web designers don't have a clue about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medleyy Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 If you're trying to wow them then it shouldn't be dull.I'm not talking about PowerPoint-esque animations, flashing and rotating titles, hit counters and smiley face mouse pointers. Just a little more fluidity and some more originality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 Web design sin't always about "wow-ing" someone. The internet is crying for standards more and more. Ever heard the term "Content over Design?" Its something that is being more and more pushed as the internet progresses. It doesnt need to be a flashy design with animations all over the place. As Robin stated; simplicity is making a comeback. It can still look good without being flashy and bulky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Chief, just because he's not a web designer doesn't mean he's retarded.Your newest design is very simple and I personally don't like it much. Maybe it could be pulled off, but it's pretty bland right now. I also agree with robin; minimalism is coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 @Eckhart:> Chief, just because he's not a web designer doesn't mean he's retarded.No, but it does mean that I can choose to ignore his advice. I'm not saying its bad advice, I'm just saying I won't even think once about it because it doesnt mean anything to me as he's not a designer.

Wing Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 @Chief:> No, but it does mean that I can choose to ignore his advice. I'm not saiyan its bad advice, I'm just saiyan I won't even think once about it because it doesnt mean anything to me as he's not a designer.Despite the fact that he may not be a actual web designer the same general advice can be given. Of course you can simply choose to ignore anyone's advice, but how you are basing it is a bit strange. You are purely judging whether or not it is reasonable to accept advice based on their public standing towards the subject at hand, but in some cases the advice from someone who lacks the experience can be useful.

Chief Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 I disagree. I'm not going to take advice about cooking fish from someone who's never done it before. If I did that, I would end up with food poisoning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I did that, I would end up with food poisoning.What about taking advice about cooking a fish from someone who's seen it done a hundred times and can recite books about it?

Chief Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 If he hasnt done it himself, I don't want him in my kitchen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wing Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 @Chief:> If he hasnt done it himself, I don't want him in my kitchen.In this case I agree, but in the end is that what we are really talking about? I wouldn't take advice on the method from somebody who doesn't know how to cook fish, but what about the taste? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andiii Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Might as well post this in a website developing forum since most people here probably don't have enough skill for you to acknowledge them. Msing Robin alone is more effective based on what I've read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
