so i finally got off my ass and made a website / got a domain thanks to free webhosting from 1and1...

http://www.onlyprem.com

feel free to critique as much as you want. any feedback is appreciated, good or bad. even if you tear it to shreds. i've rebuilt it from the ground up once already, and want to do so while i'm still feeling non-lazy about it.

thanks! =)

edit: it prolly would help for me to post link, eh?

edit 2: hmm, i see all your points. here's something i whipped up in a couple of minutes. would this be better? (i know alignment is off and all... but remember this is just something i whipped up in literally 3 mins.

i'd prolly use an inline frame for content (the frame would be skinned so the scroll bar was white and red, keeping with the rest of hte page.

Hey those Alba pics look familiar. ;)

I guess I'll give you bonus points for having an Alba section. The site looks well laid out overall.

The only thing I can really say is that I think it would better if the menu was off to the side because right now there is a conflict between the header and the menu fighting for space....

The graphic is a little big to be dead smack in the middle of the page, perhaps you could fade it out a bit and have the title overlapping it.


Because of the aformentioned stuff, the biggest problem occurs. You have to scroll just to get the content. The content is the important part of the site, you need to set it up so people can see it most prominently. :)

Other than that, looks spiffy!


Edit: oh, and one minor thing, you say at the bottom that all images are copyright you, but I don't think you took those pictures of JA ;) Might wanna change it to copyright you or their respective owners, or perhaps "unless otherwise noted"

Site looks pretty good. As mentioned above I would definately ammend that copyright statement.

One other suggestion would be to formalize your grammar and punctuation. IMHO if you're going to be publishing something for the public you want it to reflect well on yourself.

your new layout is good, simple and elegant

i wouldn't use an inline frame though, just stretch vertically

Bringing this to the first page again.

How did you get it so that the archive section is embedded like this.

I'm lookin to do something like that on my page but I can't figure it out.

inline frame. and i did a style tag to make the scroll bar look different. check out the code if you want.

i was thinking of doing that, but then the archive section would be the only section would have a vertical stretch. do you not think that would look weird? if you guys dont think so, i'll change it. would save me from having to edit the page twice.
