Websites that change drastically depending on the browser width are bound to be bad. ---

[http://host15.ipowerweb.com/~livetosk/curious/matrix.gif](http://host15.ipowerweb.com/~livetosk/curious/matrix.gif) That is what your site looks like on my resolution. I don’t like your site (which seems to be the overall consensus). My opinions on it: We’ll start large and work our way smaller. 1. Color scheme. Too hard on the eyes. You don’t want your viewers to get a headache when they come to your site. You may like it, but many people don’t. You need to do some research on color theory. Bright green like that is definately a “web-design no-no” You want colors that blend and create harmony, not colors that jump off the page and scream at the viewer. I personally would change the color scheme to something more gentle. 2. Constrain the width of your site. On monitors with larger resolutions you get huge gaps in between the tables. 3. The banner doesn’t flow with the rest of the site. The color does (unfortunately) but that round bulb on the left does not. You don’t repeat this shape anywhere else on the site. Everything is square and straight except for that bulb and it breaks apart the continuity of the page. 4. Continuing with the header, the blue does not mesh with the rest of the colors. They look nice and I suggest following those colors as a possible color scheme. ---

you need to constrain the width of the site. Place the entire site inside of a large table and give it a width value of something less than 800. like I did here: [http://host15.ipowerweb.com/~livetosk/NoFlash/index.html](http://host15.ipowerweb.com/~livetosk/NoFlash/index.html) ---

> \*Originally posted by Jubba \* > \*\*Place the entire site inside of a large table and give it a width value of something less than 800. \*\* It doesn’t matter if you use Dreamweaver or notepad. You know how to make tables right? Put the entire content of the site into a table. ---

I’m going to be hard to try to help you… I don’t like the top header. Somewhere between the drop shadows being different distance and the textures being altered I lost interest. The colors also clash IMO. If this were a database driven site, I could see the minimal design working well with the HTML. But as I can see you’re using your guessbook and other things from Bravenet, so I would recommend adding some more graphics somehow. Try to spice it up a little. The RPG Icons button bg shows when u roll over Yut343 or The Hideout. Also, is it legal to have an affiliate on your list thats not affiliated with you? Maybe just change those to links perhaps. Not sure. Whatever you choose, I would also recommend opening them in a blank window. The Link Us!, Fan Flicks, FAQ, Movies, Graveyard buttons didn’t work. Hope this helps you in the future. ---
