All right, so I need to ask all of you on my friends list to take a look at the layout I'm making for the band website and give me any criticisms: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v117/charmedwillow/Image2.jpg

Tell me what you like, what you don't, etc. Keep in mind, though, that I can't use HTML with homestead (well I kind of can, but not really. If that makes any sense), I have to use a stupid sitebuilder, so my options are limited. I could probably make it look better if I could do it all with HTML. Oh well. But yeah. Four of my friends have seen it and they all liked it, and both my parents have seen it, and while my dad liked it, my mom thought the background was too pale, it was too grey and white, and the text wasn't dark enough. But then I changed the background to something ugly and she thought it looked better, so I'm not really taking her opinion into consideration anymore. ;) But yes, I'd be eternally grateful if you could all give me comments on it. I'm also going to send it to Mrs. Bentley to see what she thinks, since she gets the ultimate say, but hotmail's being a bitch right now and won't open, so I'm waiting till tomorrow to try to send it.

The layout looks awesome! The only thing I can think of that you can change is the amount of space in between the two columns. Personally, I like columns like that to be pretty close together, but that's just me. I think it looks great!!!

Thank you! I actually completely agree with you, I'd like the columns to be closer together as well. Unfortunately, the navigation thingy on the left is very hard to work with, and it's difficult for me to change the width of it. =/ I think I have an idea how to change it, though, so I'll try that later. Thanks again! :D

i think it looks great.
i really love the header.

[http://users.livejournal.com/brokenrecord__/]

Thank you! :D I really like the header too. It was the first thing I thought of when figuring out how I wanted to alter the layout of the website, and I was pleased with how it turned out.

Oh, wow! Honestly, it looks wonderful! The way you were talking, I was expecting something much worse! The only thing I'd change is the font. It would still look very classy and clean if it stayed the same, though. I know nothing about font, but if it looked more like the font in the header I think it would look nice as well.

Thank you! Heh, the font is actually another thing that bothers me. Unfortunately, the thing I have to use for this only gives me a limited selection of fonts, and the one I used on the header isn't one of them. I was going to use that font on the header, but I found that I somehow don't have it on my computer. I'll see if I can find a font that both I and the editer have that I think looks nice, though. :)

Aw, thank you! I'm glad you like it! :D

I have to say that I really like that simple style on the layout. I don´t like websites thate are too colourful, where people have to look ages to find something. It´s very easy to read and the colours will defenitely not hurt anyone´s eyes :) Well done.

[http://users.livejournal.com/brokenrecord__/]

Thanks! :D I agree, I like a lot simpler layouts with simpler colors. How the website is now, from how the old webmaster had it, is really cluttered and has a lot of clashing colors and it just doesn't look very good. I wanted to make things a lot more simpler and organized.

Yeah, I definitely agree. I like simpler layouts a lot better.

[eternitybreaks.livejournal.com]

I really like it. I like that's it's easy to read and not too crowded with alot of graphics. Maybe you could you use a print background to make it a little different. Either way great job :D

[http://users.livejournal.com/brokenrecord__/]

Thank you! I'll see if I can get some sort of print background and see how it looks. Thanks for the suggestion! :)

[cheapcrowd.livejournal.com]

It looks great. :D The only suggestion I would have is to maybe use a patterned background. Nothing too crazy, maybe a subtle gray one? But it looks good without it, too.

[http://users.livejournal.com/brokenrecord__/]

Thanks! Yeah, I think I'll try seeing what a patternered background would look like.
