What do you think ... but don't laugh :)

What do you think of my personal website: www.odurinde.com , you great web designers in this forum. Its still under construction .. loads of broken links, and blank pages. I am changing the theme to the current dark theme you see on the homepage. I have not had time to complete it but what do you think of the general look and feel so far?

Improvement suggestions welcomed.

hi

please change the thread title "thing"
and.. you could post a link to your personal website.. or shoul we use velnet.com as your personal site??

 

[temi]

Thanks for that ........ I can't seem to spell correctly this days

 

[novocaine]

no problem, that's why i'm here
again.. maybe i can't see right.. but where is the link to your personal site.. i can't find it

 

[temi]

Ahhhh, I forgot to add that too ......... its www.odurinde.com

 

[novocaine]

now.. let's review
I like it.. it's a clean design but:
- more contrast is needed.. gray text on black background.. i dunno.. it's kinda hard to read
- some thumbnails for the sections the page could be usefull, or some colors, now it's just too gray :

you've a pretty good job so far.. keep up the work

Very nice Temi!

And a PR 5/10 :shock: So how do we get listed?

I didnt have any probs reading the text. I think for a gaming or CGI site darker images and fonts are acceptable and are very common.

Good job Temi

Eric,
Its was PR6 going PR7 when I used to maintain it properly, now I am very pressed for time, but I hope it goes back to PR6 in the next 3 months.

Its not actually a directory, the directory bit is going to link to my two directories: http://directory.velnetsearch.co.uk and http://www.haabaa.co.uk/web-directory/. I see that you have already submit your site to Haabaa, you may want to submit it to the other directory as well.

Since you mention games website, I will use this opportunity to plug my game website: www.gamesareus.com its cool, I use PostNuke CMS to create it

Thanks

Visualy crisp and clean. I liked the colours and the contrast was OK form and my eyesight is far from good these days.

One criticism is tooooo many Meta Tags. By the time a Search Engine has waded through them all, it has not got enough puff left to strip off a multitude of <table> <tr> <td> tags.

Example
I don't know of any Search engines that will take a blind bit of notice of your invitation to <META content="10 days" name="revisit-after">

The Home Page HTML file is 13k and when stripped of tags as it would be by a spider, it reduces to less than 3k of indexable content. This gives a bloat ratio of 4.33:1 = Not Good.

Better stop now before I get kicked off the Forum.
