Web layout

[Shinz]

i have just created a website for my friends band. i was wondering what you guys think of it so far.

http://www.foreverandadayband.tk

its a .tk cause we have not set up a .com domain which we are hopefully gonna do.
i want a php forum to use instead of that proboards one, but i have no experience with php what-so-ever.

any comments will help

Here is some tips and "rules" I suggest you should change:

* You have 805 pixels as width on the page, that will force the users with 800x600 resolution to have a horizontal scroll. Change to 770 pixels instead.

* Don't use frames, use a table or div/css design instead.

* Don't use the same background on the "site" and the whole page. (hard to explain, but where you have the text, use another background color there)

* Get a cooler header image, look in our tutorial archive to find some cool effects.

* Use another font in the text in the header, it looked pixlish.

And I like the colors you have choosed, they're nice Keep working on the site, a website is never finished, always under construction all sites can always be better, nobody is perfect.

If you want to use a phpforum I suggest phpBB, like this one. But you have to learn the basics in php. unfortunately I dont know anny good site in english, bur perform a search on google for it.

And det design looks like its not finishd, like is missing some important parts.
The logo is nice, but it dosent fit the rest of the site, and so on... Take note of webmasters post.

About your forum, phpBB is very simple to use, you don't need any knowlege of php at all. Download it from http://www.phpBB.com and just read the readme.txt and you will find it very simple.

Okey, you made this site using downloaded brushes, you brushed some all over, filling the whole document ("Merry Christmas" Come one? At least pick a brush that doesn't wish me a good x-mas in the middle of freakin' summer). There is no skill in making a pic with a bunch of all ready made brushes.

Then you added some text as a menu and a header that doesn't even float into the image.

So the only thing you did on this site was using the typetool, badly.

This is crap!

So... anything constructive to add Allfader?

Nice site, but why does it say (freewebs.com) in the bottom left corner?

Most hosts have tools in which you can quickly add forums such as PHPBB with a click of the mouse. Mine allows that.

The layout of the site is not too great. The text will be hard to read and the poor people still on 56k will stop loading your site. Refer to the 8 second rule. The links are too big and leave virtually no room for the real text.
