What do you think?

Question

Hello people. I have made a website and was wondering if anyone could go see it and tell me what is god and what is bad about the site.

Answer 1

Movies load faster!
I am estimating there is about 15,000,000 bytes on the page.

A 2Mb/s DSL takes 60 seconds to load the page.
A 56kb/s dial up takes 36 minutes to load the page!

Answer 2

The layout isn't too bad

My major problem is the amount of time it takes to load the home page's pictures even on DSL
- A rule I learned is that you should try to keep the loading time below 20 sec. After that, people start to lose interest. Your page on my connection took around 40 sec.
- You should lower the image quality to make it load faster especially on the home page, the page that represents the website.

I don't know if it was meant to be like that but it asks for a password when I click on "My Photo Gallery"

Another small thing is that the home page link should be on the top of the menu

Everything else is nice
Good Job

Answer 3

ditto evox; the "website links" page seems a little wasted; so too the "updates" page, especially inasmuch as no dates are given next to the listed updates. You should give fair warning that the "My Photo Gallery" (at least on my browser, which is Firefox2 on XP/SP2 on a dialup line) popped up requesting a password. No hint beforehand.

Also please note that, for those of us who don't run the browser full-screen, unlike other websites, yours doesn't gracefully resize horizontally: you could re-style the left (navigation) div, somewhat, to shrink on resizing the window. And the blue print on a brown background can be a little iffy.

Answer 4

Its SLOW!!!! but its simple and I like the nifty graphic effect on the main page. You really need to take your graphics into a graphics editing program, resize them appropriately and then resave them and try to make them smaller... they file sizes are HUGE (which is why its slow)
