I need some serious criticism

alright, here’s the site for my little venture…

*Edit: I finally changed it to the index page…
www.lavaland.net/

I need to know those places where I didn’t embed fonts, etc… I need to seek out the little bugs and destroy them! I hope you guys can help.

Its pretty good, but i think ive seen that background pic somewhere before. anyways, i noticed that every section seemed to have it’s own font. Other than that, it looks nice.:slight_smile:

hey it looks pretty nice. i would agree the fonts are too different. also did you forget to embed some fonts or something? i noticed for example on some parts (about us- under general info and on box around lavaland logo) the font is way to small and i cant hardly even read it.

Also I think you have an error somewhere, for example when i click home on bottom nav and click on the corner nav buttons some funny stuff goes on. I had to click back and forth from home to contact, then home to faqm, home to services etc…

but it began to bring up the wrong pages and that corner nav would overlap your pages to when it seems like it should be gone.

hope this makes sense…

looks good though

see ya

very nice Raf, wow man :!: your getting better and better. I like it. maybe you can have the background image change, with the content changing ,but thats it. Great work :beam:

actually looking again at your site, you dont really need to change the background with the content change. due to your information filling up most of the space. Ive got some advice, maybe work on your type,a bit smaller, more tracking. and the font on the side “lavaland web consultin…” make that a bit smaller. :slight_smile:

definitely could use some rollovers on the buttons. I like this
layout far more than your others. I love that image. may I ask
wehre you got it?

Something i missed, but i Agree.

Very nice… FAQ font is sans or something, doesn’t match the rest and the font under your logo is sans as well and also unreadable even at 800x600…

You must have just changed some of it coz i had more but went to lunch came back and the url changed and also some of the fonts in the dropdown under your logo…

Yeah, i just changed it a little bit.

Aw crap. I thought I was doing fine. Alright, so the deal with the fonts - I want to be able to mix hooge, arial black, and MS Sans serif in a nice cohesion. However, I’ve been having problems with MS Sans Serif. Those of you who said that it looked like each page had a different font have it. (I had forgotten to embed the font in a couple of textboxes). And those of you who said that I forgot to embed the font, well, you don’t. MS Sans serif looks AWESOME when I don’t embed the font, but when I do, it looks really blurry, and it sucks - I guess it’s a flash thing.

Do you guys know of a good pixel font that is around the size of the text in the content areas? I don’t want to use hooge, cause it’s a little bit too small, and it’s a pain in the butt to read. Any one know a Serif Pixel Font?

As for rollovers, I’m probably going to do that tomorrow…

I fixed the font that’s by the logo, by the way.

Powder - I’ve noticed that bug, and I’m having a huge problem recreating it. I don’t know what to do in order to definitely get the bug. After you click home in the small bottom menu, the main menu shows up, but then the content of a random section shows up on top of it… If you guys can help me figure out a way of definitely making the bug appear, I can find it easier.

Soulty: One of the things that I’m thinking about doing is changing the music with each section…

For those of you who have your own business (ahem… unflux… ahem :slight_smile: ), what do you think of the content?

Thanks for your comments.
Raf

i like it. :slight_smile:

the transitions are smooth and like the animations you chose to
use. Slick and professional, good job on that. I really like how
the curvy menu moves down. And then back up when clicked
HOME…Cool idea.

Content is ok for now. Your content will grow, I’m sure, and it will
fill it out nicely. I’d plan to stick with this design for awhile. I
think it’s solid.

Like it … I’ve found a few bugs you might wanna change :

  1. When I clicked stop the music, those sound bars on the left kept going up and down.

  2. I had this bug but I can’t find out anymore what I did to get it … I clicked some button at the lower bar to go back to home, and portfolio came up instead of nothing.

[EDIT] Ah here I have it, take a look at the screen. It happens when you enter About, and then return to home by pressing Home on the bottom bar. It just changed to Contact instead of Portfolio, very weird bug[EDIT]

  1. In the About-section the text on the left in illegible.

Bug number 2 is quite a big one, take a look at it :slight_smile:

Some of the jokes you make are bad for your company image. And the use of colloquial vocabulary will also pull you down. I’d rather buy service from a professionaly written website.

mmh, the layout is nice but i found it a bit too static, even randomly halftransparent moving bars would cheer up the intro…

alright… I think I worked out the two major bugs… the fact that the equalizer would not stop, and that the panels would show up sometimes when you clicked the home button. I think I’m going to leave the site as it is for a while - can you please check through it? if i find out those bugs are still there, I’m going to shoot someone… hehe.
