What do you think of this lay-out? by Exca on 03-19-2007 at 07:17 PM
This is my current website:
http://www.exca.be
i want to replace its design with this:
http://www.asip.be/forum/Ontwerpen/Exca/Temp/site/index.html
what do you think about it? Could some-one add flash to it for me? (i have the photoshop document).
(i'm a dj btw, that explains)

the ocean ripple is a little weird and i think you need to make the buttons a little more visible/organized.
other wise its good

The background to the text is very distracting while I was trying to read.

Also, try to move the text box slightly lower, at about the height of your current one.
Otherwise, very nice!

I can't lower the text box as it will cover the guy
Links, i'll get to that

music on websites = 
(at least, don't make it play automatically, get some sort of player so if the viewer wants to hear the music, they can, don't force them too.)

No but he may be thinking of adding it, so a bit of general advice.

i won't add audio, at least not in the main site.

There are too many images that make up the layout. It makes your website take a while to load, and this makes it look unprofessional. Try and stay well away from layouts made up of a series of images. Just use the one image as a background, and create the divs over it .

I prefer the oldest one but yeah, the new one can bring you new clients

Everything goes flash

suggestion for the deeper pages: make thumbnail images for all the links. It's taking forever to dl the full image just to see a preview of it.
I could also make a suggestion of removing the iframe (or whatever it is) for the side nav bar
EDIT: browsing one of the gallery pages actually froze my browser, probably due to the memory required for the page

Everything is fine except for the text background. I can't really seem to read it properly without highlighting it .
RE: What do you think of this lay-out? by the DtTvB on 03-20-2007 at 03:00 AM
Nice design, but the text background makes the text hard to read...
The images on the site looks dithered..... Background images, photos, high color images should not use GIF... Go PNG or JPEG... Use GIF for web elements or low color images.
Also, should be CSS-designed, it would load faster!

try a different style of writing, and maybe a different colour too but i like how building changes to a wobbly effect behind the box! 
. hope it goes well for you.

The one thing I can't stand is your "DJ EXCA" logo thing, I hate the effect for the words in it.
Other than that, pretty good <3
that's the old site
as for the slow loading time; i know... but it's only a preview. As i said everything goes flash, and the ocean ripple will disappear (too bad but it's not readable).
the first flash prototype is done, but it needs much more work
