Punkrider Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 (edited) Hey all,Thought i would share the new look Street Furniture Trials site. It has taken hours to get right, so constructive criticism would be good. We have cut the site down to make it more simple, and easy to keep up-to-date. The crew page isn't finished yet, we are still waiting for pictures. There are 2 new vids on there aswell, both filmed in Kent, so get downloading Don't forget to keep checking the site for updates on recent rides StreetFurnitureTrials.comThanks to Joe N. for the photos Adam Edited March 31, 2006 by Punkrider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 First thing, text as pictures is a big no no. Should never ever be done for main paragraphs. Obviously for banners and shit it's fine, but main paragraphs, no no no. Atleast the quality is ok so it's not glaringly obvious that it's a picture, which is one of the main faults with using pictures as text.Also, the way you've gone about the whole massive background is a bit sketch. Personally, i'd have a 1 pixel high picture that spans the length of the gradient, left to right, then have that logo as a gif with transparency. Would save so much bandwidth and loading times it's unreal.Pretty simple site though, so not much to review, but i guess that's what you was going for, and it's come out not so bad. Although, i might review how you are displaying your "archive" page with the dates at the start of the sentance like that, as it just looks like a mass of text, rather then a listing of galleries, if you get me.

It has been changed now to normal text. I have also changed the background so it is 1 pixel wide, but i have left the header images as jpeg. I like the archive page how it is, the idea of the design was to try and make people read a bit about the ride then look at the images, not just go straight to them.Thanks for all the replies Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punkrider Posted February 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 If you click on the header now, you will return to the homepage. I have just made a few changes to most bits of the site So have a look Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai the Socket Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%...com%2Fhome.html And yeah. Text size smaller. If you're using CSS. I like :x-small; but I know that's not CSS compliant. Work out the px sizes.Looks ok though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan6061 Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 I quite like it. Few changed I'd do to it would be: Smaller links, probably horizontally underneath the banner, or along the left hand side going vertically. Like a smallish white, simple font. Too many image for my liking really. It's good, all the same. Easy navigation etc. Another thing, for the galleries, try setting up a 'next' button for going through the images. Myself, and probably many on here, are too lazy and don't like closing the page, then clciking on a new pic. etc. Good work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punkrider Posted March 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 good idea will try an get it sorted!You mean you will tell me to do it Would take too long to do that, would have to make a separate page for each image, so NO Clem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Bleech Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 overall i like it - when reading the blog-thing about the ride, and clicking on the picture links it would be really good if they opened just to the right of the text where that pic of the guy on the back wheel is, instead of opening a new window.dunno if that been said, didn't read the whole topicmike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towler Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Nice and basic Only thing that is anoying is when you change page you have to click back instead of having a navigation on every page. Good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trials Boy Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Looks nice Ad, if i was you i would make a new link on the first page saying "Our Bikes" with specs and a few pics of each bike. Just a thought. Mat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
