Help me with my new website!

[Shell B]

No, you're a dick and I won't click on your website ever again.

Furthermore, you're critiquing a website no one asked you to critique because you're butthurt that your website it absolute shite. Use whatever version you want. This forum will still get way more traffic than your travesty. To think I jokingly chastised Tibs for being mean instead of being helpful on the first page.

I lost my contacts on LSD. This site would be better with that.

I still have my horrible site up. You should keep it as a reminder of younger times.

[Edwardo Piet]

I'm sure my brother would make your website look awesome if he wasn't so busy. Sorry that's all I got

No one is making it to Pacman with the site looking like that.

Now you are just exadurating. The Notepad++ site looks very similar, yet people download it.

Have you considered adding some blinking text? That would really help in keeping people's attention.

What exactly would you suggest?

Because it looks like something that would’ve been hosted on Geocities. You might be writing HTML5, but the design screams late 90s, with a table-based layout.

For a more realistic effect, you can run your browser in 256 colors!

I'm not sure what you are mad about.  The truth is obvious-- you're just in the very first baby steps of designing a site, and you have a lot (a lot!) of work to do.  Your site has way too much visual contrast, it has unnecessary and confusing animated visuals, it really does look like something I might have designed about 15 years ago when I was first learning HTML.

For a pretty good example of a well-designed site, I'd take this one.  It has a mostly plain background with a little bit of pizzazz (dotted stars for background, a beautiful planetary artworkfor visual interest, and a cool logo).  It has sufficient contrast to allow easy viewing, but not so much as to be annoying or distracting.

Go to literally ANY of the top 100 sites (google them), then go to your site.  Ask yourself-- what's the difference?

In my honest opinion, the design of this forum's desktop version is terrible. It's full of distractions and renders the forum almost useless on slower connections. That's why I am using the mobile version even when I am at home.

Only if you're running the site on a toaster with a telegraph line plugged into the back.

Holy crap is that an ugly site. I'm sorry I clicked on it.

Will you guys tell me how is the PacMan working on your smartphone or not?

This site has a very low demand on resources. Now if you can't view it on your POS computer then what did you use to create that horror of a website yours?

The 90's called and they want their HTML back.

Really, the word-for-word perfect response to that link.  And that first response really should have been:

/thread

Ok, so I followed the link and clicked on Pac-Man. It sucks as bad as the rest of the site.

Don't forget the dancing Jesuses (or is that Jesii).

I highly recommend he cover the entire website with copies of this HowToBasic video on loop:





That'll get people's attention.

p.s. the video title may be a little misleading
