New Site Design

[JamesD31]

Hey everyone, I have been working on a new site design for one of my client's sites; plainly because I got tired of the old design.

That is the new design as of right now. The old design can be seen on their website at http://www.fridaynightcranks.com

Feedback and suggestions would be greatly appreciated 🙂

New design is not that good, you need a nicer menu 🙂

In Firefox the menu doesn't seem to work, the hover effect overlaps the tab to the right of it

 

[JamesD31]

Besides the menu? I understand that problem already lol

So the whole design sucks? Or just that menu?

Generally nice, I can see a distinct resemblance between your site and http://www.newgrounds.com/ however.

Also in Firefox / IE8 your #frame div is too far over to the right. Nice base so far, looking forward to the finished product ~cool~

Yeah, I did take some ideas like the navigation, header and sides from http://www.newgrounds.com/ only because I liked the design made. Though, granted the design technique was copied, the images are still all custom made.

In regards to the #frame position, can you upload a screenshot? Because, I did position the #frame to be centered, though I went to center the background image and in both my Firefox, as well as my browsers (probably due to my screen resolution) the image did not match-up with the div, and all those great fun problems 🙂

So a screenshot would be lovely.

The dotted red lines indicate the edges of the #frame div ~smile~

Well... Ok, I am going to try something because on a lower resolution I needed to set the background-image position to: 43% 0%;...

Though, also that right-sided dotted line is off 🙂 The #frame is only 930px - which is the size of the nav as well and all other features lol.

Also, can you tell me what Browser as well as your screen resolution?

Browser is Firefox 3.0.8, screen res is 1440 x 900 (widescreen).

Dotted lines came from "colorzilla" firefox addon, by hovering over an epty area of the div.

i thinkes i actually preferr the first one. but i understand how you want a new design. keep trying new styles!

 

[JamesD31]

Haha, why does everyone like the first design? Just wondering...

 

[Midnight]

i think it just looks more professional personaly.

 

[JamesD31]

Wait... do you mean the current design on the real domain: http://www.fridaynightcranks.com
