Title: Wheeee!
Post by: Rictor on July 18, 2006, 04:59:33 am

It's almost six in the morning, and after countless hours of work over two or three months, the website is now in a functional and presentable state. So click around and marvel at the awesomeness. But seriously, what do you all think? I've had almost no outside input the whole time, and at this point I can hardly be called an impartial observer, so I'm curious to know what fresh eyes will see.

Bam! (http://www.campuslifemagazine.ca).

I think it looks nice, the colors blend well and it feels proffessional and grabs your attention in a good way.  The only problem being that the "Featured Article" list seems too long to me.

My only major gripe is that all the content you actually want to read is down there.

What I'd suggest is following:
1) Cut the index page starting below the Home, Health & fitness -bar
2) Move Home, Health & fitness -bar below Abous Us, Contact Us -bar.
3) When a visitor visits Health & fitness, etc pages. Don't display the stuff between Health & fitness -bar and Abous Us, Contact Us -bar.

Basically, try to minimize the amount of scrolling a visitor has to do.

Yeah its bit top heavy, Nice colour scheme, I reckon a vertical highlight list would be good.
But overall its ok :)

Pretty darn good - more professional-looking than most stuff I've done. ++ for the (mostly) table-less layout. ;)

I voted for Awesome in the poll, so I'd say it's a pretty good site. :)

Thanks all. It's the most elaborate website project that I've done by myself from start to finish. Learned a lot of things, like how to do proper CSS, php included and a dozen other things.
