DiemetriX Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 I have made a new webpage (not finished at the moment and a bit slow) It's www.diemetrix.net But can you test it and say whats wrong and what browser you are using? What do you think of the design?
Gaijin von Snikbah Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 Hmmm, I wonder where you got inspiration from. It is a bit slow yes, too much if you ask me.
Enigma Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 Wasn´t too slow. The background took only a few seconds to load.
DiemetriX Posted January 17, 2006 Author Posted January 17, 2006 Wasn´t too slow. The background took only a few seconds to load. It would be helpfull if you said which Internett Browser you use and if anything overlaps eachother.
Enigma Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 It would be helpfull if you said which Internett Browser you use and if anything overlaps eachother. No overlaps. Firefox.
Shino Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 Well, I'm using firefox, and the text "This page is best viewed in Internet Explorer, Firefox version coming soon!" over laps with the first text below "DiemetriX", the gamercard is a little above where I think you want it (between those little thingys), also in the game page the movie is over the text. And as other have said the background is a little slow to load,you could slice it in several files and make the background more dynamic, and center de page. Hope it helps.
Sarka Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 Only thing is that there was an overlap with the "This page is best displayed in IE. FF version coming soon" and the title image. A couple of other things overlap such as the video on the gamespage. I'm using Opera.
Enigma Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 Well, I'm using firefox, and the text "This page is best viewed in Internet Explorer, Firefox version coming soon!" over laps with the first text below "DiemetriX" So it does. Didn´t noticed that. Sorry.
DiemetriX Posted January 17, 2006 Author Posted January 17, 2006 ok tnx for the help IE views it correctly. I will slice the background into in several files later.
Colin Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 ok tnx for the help IE views it correctly. I will slice the background into in several files later. I can't see why you've got that "news" header text embedded into the background image tbh? Is it because you want that exact font for the title? If so, then it would make more sense for you to make the header with a transparent background and save it as a .gif, then set the main page up with tables. But yeah, I'm also getting the overlap, and the background image takes a short while to load. Also for each page the background is a different image? Using firefox here btw. I love the side panels though.......looks nice and clean.
Matt Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 Looks fine on Opera. Maybe think about compressing the background images a bit. They take a few seconds to load.
Haver Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 I'd recommend these articles to get you started. While there is a pleasing sense of almost-symmetry - the navigation, colour theory, typography and overall design doesn't work.

Konfucius Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 I'm using ie and it loaded fast and there were no problems but you knew that already. I like the design of the page but I wonder what you will do when you get more menus, the way they are arranged now you'll lose more space with every menu you add.
DiemetriX Posted January 19, 2006 Author Posted January 19, 2006 Tanks for the input guys. So should i go on with the 360design and optemize it? or use my old design( http://www.home.no/diemetrix/ )?
Marshmellow Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 it wasnt slow at all i have a real slow browser at my school and it loaded real fast. btw im using IE.
Ashley Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Opera has the same problem as Firefox. Think the look is overly flashy, im a fan of simple designs really. Personal preference I know but hmm... The background does take a fair while to load, perhaps splicing it up may help? What would be cool is if when you clicked on "About Me" for example it slid over to the right and the page was revealed. Kind of like pulling out a chest of drawers and you see the contents (I know what I mean). Would require fancy flash skills though, but it'd be nice.
Tyson Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Took no time to load for me, alot faster than this site. On the other hand, I didn't realy like the design, the lettering on the sides was kind of wierd looking, and the general colours of it looked kind of cheap.
AshMat Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 Using IE, loaded very fast, no overlaps. VGood website btw
