Hello again, after the feedback from the forum last time, i went and redesigned my design.

For those of you that dont remember me (and who would?) im currently studying Applied ICT at 6th form (A-Levels) for part of my coursework in my second year i am required to build a website, they want us to do it in flash, however, i have had this idea for a website for a couple of years now, and although there is already a couple of websites on the net to do with my topic, i believe i can create a fresh and user friendly design.

Im going to be creating a website on Football (Soccer) stadiums in the UK, the website will give Football fans around the UK information on a ground they may be visiting with their team, it will give information on where to eat and drink, what the stadium is like, what the away end is like ect ect.

I am a newbie to website design and creation, as you will be able to see. So i am looking for your opinions on the design, what can i add? what can i change? if you were a football fan in the UK, would you use it?


Thank you for your feedback, it is much appreciated.

This is a nicer version than the one before.. but I would love to see it when its coded.. plus.. loose a few pixels on the width.. im using a 1024 x 768 TFT Flat panel and its a little wide for the browser..

Nicer design though.. Also.. The Affiliates column is a little long.. Lose a few pixels on the height there..

Nice design though.. thats all you got to change and it would look perfect ;)

Nice job ;)

Edit: Maybe the banner is a little too big too?

Yeah, i forgot to mention a couple of things.

First of, the banner is a bit big.

Secondly, the width is a big wide

Thirdly the affiliates column is again a bit wide

What i wanted to ask was how wide is a website normally? What would you recommend for the size of the banner?

The coding is going to be great ( ;) ) thats something im going to have to look a great deal into over my summer holidays and learn about.

Thank you for your input Synitex, it was fast and most appreciated.

I reccomend a 960 width and a 641 Height

Heres what size it would be : http://www.psdoutlet...s/psdoutlet.gif

An old layout i made which im not using because its too much like the old P2L Layout ;)

But that is a nice size that fits nicely in the browser and allows a small white background when centered :o

I hope that was some help for you.



Edit: I put Width twice ;) Edited.

The top headers the nicest part of the website. Mainly because the rest of its ugly :ph34r: The rest is just to plain, you should just a few more colours or gradients, less of the cheapy fonts and factory settings.

The header is not yet finished. And i think the font for the menu is fine as it is. The colouring may be change in due course.
