BrianB Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 Site design is god and easy to navigate through. I do like the use of the fluid width. it makes the most out of the space available depending on the viewers screen resolution. Few suggestions form me. 1. You do need to add a valid DOCTYPE before the <html> tag. It is necessary, and if someone tells you otherwise seek help elsewhere. 2. You will get more traffic to your site, from search engines if you give them something to index. Your home page has hardly any text on it, and to top it off there are no META tags in the header. If you don't want to clutter up the design on your home page with a bunch of text then put it under the META "description" and/or "keywords" 3. Perhaps you could extend the length of you side borders all the way to the bottom of the page. It would look more professional. Since you do have a CSS style in the header I will assume you know a little about CSS. My suggestion would be to get rid of all the <table> crap and use CSS to position all of that stuff, and define the colors and what not. It will look better and work better with all browsers. There are a few other things, but it really comes down to how clean and uncluttered you want the code to be. It doesn't really matter though. Quote
Super User Sam Posted January 1, 2008 Super User Posted January 1, 2008 Looks nice. In the About Caleb section do you think you should use some short paragraphs with more white space so that it is easier to read? Can you have a color photo of yourself with a nice size bass? Otherwise, I like it. Quote

littlefisher Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Not bad, not bad. Coming from an, well, amateur web site designer, just make sure you keep up on it. The biggest thing that will keep people from coming back to your website is lack of keeping it updated with new things. Quote
BassBird Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 Good Luck man, it's encouraging seeing people my age living their dream. I would definately like to get into tournament fishing! Nice site too Quote
BUCKEYEone Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 Looks pretty good man! I'd say get a pic or maybe a few on the bio page (remember, your selling yourself to the sponsors to prove you can sell their product) and keep it updated! Good work Quote
flippincrazy Posted March 21, 2008 Author Posted March 21, 2008 Thanks for everyone's input. I have recieved a lot of advice from you guys and quite a few PM's with very critical advice and it's helped a lot. I realize that the website is not very professional looking and thats soon to change. The site was a day long project me and a buddy did during the winter and was not very well thought out. In about a month the whole site is going to be totally new, including pictures with my new tournament jersey and videos. I will post again when its done, once again thanks everyone. Quote
