website crits please

Its good, I like the nice clean look.

Code looks good to, bit spaced out, but thats a personal preference thing.
 
You didn't close the wrap with a </div>, and you also need a </body> and </html> at the very bottom.

There's no doctype at the top either. Usually it should be:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

or

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
 
Ah, thanks for reminding me about the code bit, I'm not quite done coding so I hadn't closed my tags yet.

Also, is a doctype really necessary? I've been coding webpages for half a decade and I've never bothered with one.
 
It's just too umm ordinary simple and boring IMHO. However if that's the way you like it whatever. One thing though why is the main page on the far left, shouldn't it be in the middle?
 
Too small to be all the way on the left like that. I strongly suggest centering it.

You've got the clean and to the point aspect down, but it's still a bit bland. Colors are very nice, but the "tv on the radio" title banner thing has too plain of text, in my opinion.

Also it irks me that the spacing of the main text from the left and right borders are different.
 
its centered for me

it looks nice and clean... a lot of blank space but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

what browser are you using, sounds outdated if it doesn't allow margin: auto centering
 
IE6.

That's a large margin of internet users, I hope you can fix it somehow.
 
well I could always throw <center> tags around it all for you archaic IE users

but get a real browser ftw
 
I like working with browsers that most of my clients and their customers would use.

IE hasn't given me problems and I don't like tabs so I don't see any reason to use anything else.
 
it really is vastly inferior... you'll realize this when you become a webdeveloper.

anyways, some amusing statistics from my site:

Firefox 51.2 %
MS Internet Explorer 25.7 %
Unknown 16.7 %
Mozilla 3.3 %
Opera 1.7 %
BonEcho (Firefox 2.0 development 0.4 %
Safari 0.3 %
Netscape 0.2 %
 
Yeah. Your site. A gaming site. Visited chiefly by gamers. Those who are fairly skilled with the computer, and therefore are more likely to use Firefox because it's the shiz.

And I never said it was the most used browser (though I do believe it is) I said the people that are using the sites I'm helping to create for my clients are viewed majorly by IE users. I also never said that IE was superior/infereor or anything like that. I'm not ignorant and I'm not stupid, I know what both can do. Don't try to condescend to me. "you'll realize this when you become a webdeveloper" :rolleyes:

I'm surprised your gamer site got a good quarter percent IE, not bad. Isotown is about half and half IE and Firefox.

especially the ie part :P
 
Haha :)

Most of my sites are pure flash so it works anyway.

Nooooooo. margin:auto should work fine in the wrapper. I think it's because you don't have a DOCTYPE at the top. You have to tell the browser what your page is.

Eww. Google can't spider flash.

It hasn't given you problems because your sites must be written using tables. They will look the same in IE and Firefox.
 
thanks for the feedback guys

I sort of want to rearrange some of the elements of the page; do you guys think it would look better with either the navigation above the top picture, or with the "tv on the radio" bar at the top of the picture rather than the bottom?

Um? Do you know what meta tags are? I can find one of my flash sites on google right now. Unless you mean something else... My clients want flash sites, that's that. Are you trying to say the internet should just get rid of all flash sites?

"My" sites? What do you mean? I make flash sites. What I meant by no problems is that IE, has not, given me, problems while on the internet. For example I sometimes read things like "does not work in firefox" etc.

Apparantly Ennui's new-fangled website doesn't like IE regarding centering the content. Not exactly a life-threatening bug there.

But like I said I'm not trying to argue which browser is better, I'm going by usage statistics based on my viewer bases.

Ennui: I like it the way it is.

Meta tags won't get you far. If one business has a site in 100% flash with meta tags, it will get listed lower on a Google search page than one with content/links/meta tags all in html.

I wouldn't care if they got rid of all 100% flash websites. Flash should be for content such as image rotation, displaying videos like Youtube, or for animations on your site. Menu links and all the writing on a site should be normal html code.

I mean the sites you make.

You'll only hear "does not work in firefox" when people have been testing their site in IE6 then checking with FF when it's finished. I could build a site and check it with FF throughout the dev process, then when it was finished it would probably not work in IE.
 
i think, its way to tiny, any real information you want to display will be stuck and limited to such a small area!, get it LARGER! bolder and more virbant:P

yes it is tidy but it seriously lacks the abiltiy to present informaition
 
considering there's not a whole lot of information to present, just lyrics/discography/bio, that's not so much a problem.

if I made the layout wider, it wouldn't scroll on any of the pages.
 
it looks better.

I don't want a layout that is 1000 pixels wide and ends up being 300 tall.
