first web layout

[notjustgraphics]

Lookin good...

You definately should consider taking the bold off the main content....

And Verdana is not a preferred choice... arial or tahoma are better choices for a small font size...

Just some tips

I liked the green, a shame you changed that for the blue. Blue is way colder and more distant than green.

Anyway's, I think if you would get enough links up there, it will be a great tutorials site very clean and readable!!

but change the blue

lol thanks i'll take that on board, at the moment im just playing with some colours and seeing how they turn out so nothing is really final yet colourwise

[madkat]

Hey i've made a 3rd colour but not so sure which one to choose, could you give me your preferences please?

Green

It may be common, but I think I like the "dark" version the best.

I find the dark not so good, but blue or green.... I think i would go with green. It looks fresher.

[madkat]

ok finally, last question.. i was thinking of making it 100% width but not too sure

[notjustgraphics]

I agree with chuggs... I like the dark the best of the three, with Green being my #2...

No reason you can't give your users the choice though.

Going 100% width will give users with high screen res's a chance to view more content without scrolling, but your 800x600 users won't see the benefit, and elastic setups can mis-behave if you're not experienced in CSS...

I'm all for fixed widths

Mike.

I think it's a great start!!!

[unleash]

Hmm, I must agree with notjustgraphics...

the dark version is the best, the green one is second and the blue last....in my mind:F
Anyways, as said before fixed widths....way easier...and because its you're first website..

[arashiness]

ohhh can i have it? its excellent hmm.. your much artistic than i thought ^_^

[madkat]

thanks for comments guys, sorry i've not been able to reply i have been quite busy lately with various things. Yeah i suppose giving them an option on what colour they want may be a good idea, and i'll stick to fixed widths too as well

I just joined and started reading the threads. It was quite nice seeing you do it from the layout to the final working site, congrats. If I would pick a color, I would stick to green IMO. Always keep it fresh and clean.
