Website Review: How to create a website

Lajocar · #1 (**permalink**) 07-30-2007, 06:15 AM

Hi there,

I have just created a site called http://www.how-2-create-a-website.com

I have added some beginner html, xhtml, css tutorials... later dhtml, ajax, javascript, php...

I will alo have free tools and a way for you to make a flash or static website on my site.

This is still a work in progress and I will add more video tutorials later on.

Any feedback will be appreciated.

Thank you

Regards
Lawrence

Great site, lajocar! But I have some suggestions to make:
firstly, the text immediatly to the right of the logo and to the bottom of the logo
(How 2 Create A Website.com) is gray(or silver i think) in clolor. It is difficult to read in the white bg. You might wantto correct that.

Secondly, the videos(they're cool!) open up in a new page. THat could be distracting for viewers. You could make them open in the same window or even better, integrate the video within the page, with a play/pause button. And, the text for the two different videos is the same. Change it to Notepad and Frontpage, respectively

Other than the above, i don't see and flaws! BTW, how did you make those videos??

hey Lajocar great site. The site is nicely organized and i like the layout as well. White background with grey and/or black text works best.

Excellent site and a very nice layout! No negatives except the gray text that was already mentioned.

Great site, I like the clean look as it is easier to navigate than a cluttered site. I have only one comment. I recommend not to use underline for emphasis but rather stay with bold. For new users who visit your site, they may think that the underlined text is a hyperlink. But then again, it is a personal preference.

He was probably some tutorial making program. Or, he was dragging the mouse cord with a hook.

Very nice clean layout, but just a question regarding the Google Ads - did you want them in the middle just before you list your website creation topics? And I see you have more over to the right-hand side. Do you think you have too many on your home page?

Just my observations and questions.
