Can I Get Some Feedback On My Website...

Post by Leighton »

Well, not on the website itself, but what I'm planning on making my individual show pages like. Please go to my others page, move down to the Muse section and click on the Sydney 2007 show. The page should open in another tab, click the first screencap, it'll enlarge and allow you to scroll through each of them, finally the new tab will then close with the top right close button.

Let me know if it's working at least, but feedback on the ideas I'm going with would be cool. I'm going to upgrade the graphics on the Lightbox to match the site too... hopefully.

It works fine for me. This seems to be the new way of displaying large images like this on websites and it looks great here! Nothing wrong in my opinion! :)

Thanks for the feedback, mate. It really wasn't too difficult, few little things to iron out, but I think it works quite well. Like I said, I'll be having a go at editing the Lightbox itself. Cannot wait. Only about 700 pages then have to be made to complete the site then...

I have thought about centreing before. I've never been a huge fan of it (like it really matters...) but I'll give it a go, see how I can get it. I guess I've just always like things on the left. B)

EDIT: centred it all. How's it look now?

I dont know what it looked like before the centering, but it looks good now. I am not a huge fan of the st. anger metallica font. but that is just me. The layout of the site is simple, clear and easy to read. Good job so far. :)

I heard that they're planning to use some mix of the old Metallica and the St. Anger font style for the next album.. Well, maybe it's just a rumor.

I'll play around with it. Got to jazz it up a bit.

Some constructive feedback for you...

- I would have never known to "click to enlarge" the screenshots if you did not tell us to do that. With some many trading websites out there, most only have smaller screenshots posted on detail pages. At first look, I would have never known that you could enlarge the photos because of habits of looking at other trading sites. Maybe add a small, italicized note that says "Click to Enlarge" below each screen shot.

- Why use ImageShack to host your images? Doesn't ImageShack delete photos posted after a certain amount of time?

- I think the text font size is a bit large. You could get much more information by using a smaller font size.

- Gallery pop-up tests great in FireFox, not sure about IE7 and IE6 though.

Cheers for that, frantik. I'll be adding more instructions to the actual lists page, just trying to get through some content first.

I'll have a think about the font. I've never really thought about it, might need more room one of these days I guess.

Firefox is what I'm using and to be honest, I'm not too interested in IE anymore. If anyone has probs seeing my sight, I'll point them towards FF.
