Hi,

I am approaching the completion of my new site and would like to get some feedback on it.

I think if I finish it and tidy up certain areas it may not be too far off winning the site of the week - maybe that is way off and it doesn't have a chance - its hard to tell as the submission to the site of the week often vary greatly in quality.

I would be particularly interested to see what people think about that especially any regular posters who have won that award. Any ideas that may give it that bit extra to win an award or two would be very welcome!

The link is:

(this is also in my signature).

Currently only the first option of the main menu at the top works, I intend to integrate the others sections soon.

Some negative things that I have been told so far is :

1) That the window displaying the content is too transparent.

2) If you visit the "Cowley Church" background after 8pm you get a night scene - I have been told this is too dark by some people.

3) On my computer the popup window displaying the content doesn't seem to mask completely as the "shutter" come back - its slightly transparent. Other people say it masks fine.

particularly interested on what people have to say about those topics.

Things you may not notice at a glance

1) The "Feature" is random 1 of 2

2) A night scene is displayed if you visit the Cowley Church background after 8pm.

3) The initial track to play is decided by random.

Site best viewed at 1024 x 768 Res or higher.

Thanks for looking & I hope you like it!

like: blue color scheme. simple, easy design and nav.

dislike: arial at size 12+. for the small content text arial is fine with me, but using it in the buttons and logo? i dont like it.

all the beeping. is there an off for the sound effects?

the preloader screen with the concentric cirlces and the flashing thingy in the middle. that kinda came off as cheesey...

omg! ditch the neon green tinted bgs immeadiately. the blue ones are ok, a little to neon perhaps, but the green ones really stand out in a bad way.

what makes u think i want to drag around the content box or close it to stare at the neon green chruch?



the westwood exposed intro: the godsmack loop doesnt loop too well... whered u get/create the running people animations? those are impressive....

as for winning sotw... noone has won in months, and sometimes ur up against some tough competition....

yeah the fonts I wasn't sure about at all. I can't find any fonts I like darn it!

as for the backgrounds some are considerred to be nice historic and well architectured buildings which is why u can shut the windows / drag them etc.

I might change them all to blue, but it will take me forever to change that bloody flag!

I'm sorry, but this is a rip of the old 2advanced.com layout.
