Lately there has been a flood of people who all seem to want their site rated. So, henceforth, let it be known that this thread is the OFFICIAL thread where you post your links for websites to be rated. Anyone who doesn't post their link in this specific thread will have their topic removed from C&T with swift efficiency! Like a ninja! ninja

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The rules of this Rate My Site Thread are as follows:

1) No linking to sites that contain information/images that are against the
ToS of Gaia. Sorry gang, but that is a no no here.

2) Only post your site if you are looking for honest feedback as to how to
improve your website.

3) Any comments regarding links posted must be informative, and
constructive to the person asking for feedback. Comments such
as "OMG!!11 this site is teh suck!!11!1" or "Your site sucks, die you,
die!" or other such foolish and unhelpful rhetoric will be smote with a
rapidity that will make your head spin, and the offending poster will get
a warning.

4) When commenting on a particular site, please post which site you are
referring to, and keep all comments geared toward that particular site.
Do not make unhelpful blanket statements such as "These rule!"
or "These suck!". Such comments do not provide any useful feedback
and will be removed, and you will be warned for spamming.

5) Do not offer people gold to go visit your site. The purpose of this
thread is to provide honest, quality feedback to users so they can
improve their websites. It is not to make gold.

6) This is not a general site rating sticky; it is for sites designed and
maintained by Gaia users. Any posts to general sites will be
removed,and any users that repeatedly post such links will be warned.

The rules will be updated and amended as necessary. Have fun, and hopefully you will get some good feedback on how to make your site even more fabulous smile

As much as I hate this thread...
Might as well try to make sure it stays clean.

<b>Keep it on subject.
Having MP3s on your site is piracy and is against TOS.
If for some reason you site allows someone access to info you didnt want them to, thats your fault.</b>

2 sites I recently completed for clubs and societies in my college:

Unfortunately, a lot of the content on these sites can't be fully updated until the new term starts, so a few of the pages just have a short paragraph about what will be there. But I suppose I'm more looking for layout feedback and the likes, rather than content, for the moment anyway.

I'll post up my own site when the revamp is finished.

Site number 1 - Games Society

Site number 2 - Self Defence Club

"Foolish"


I give it a 6/10. Its clean and looks like if serves its purpose but it looks like you used a template and I don't really like the font for the text.

"Zenseiki"

Site number 1 - Games Society

Site number 2 - Self Defence Club

I give the first a 9/10 and the second 10/10. Both are clean and simple. I like that.

I gave the first a 9/10 because the top banner seems to be just floating there and doesn't look nice like that.

I gave the second a 10/10 because everything seems to go together smoothly.

Raargh. I posted a thread like this a few days or so ago. Was overlooked.

Anyways, might as well get some ratings.

Site 1: http://dart.mine.nu/kome/ [already put up for rating... but what the hey. Layout only.]

Site 2: http://dart.mine.nu/tdl/ [Not pretty except for view.php, but it was more a technical thing than an aesthetic one.]

Site 3: http://dart.mine.nu/latindubs/ [Dead. Want to help revive it? Contact me somehow.]

I have a few others which I am either working on or are not on my server. Most are probably on my [ancient] Geocities account.

interesting how you pretty much just changed the stylesheets between the two pages. other than that (and excluding content), they're the same.
which isn't to say it's a bad design.

1st one- 10/10 Simplicity at its finest I'd say. xd As I've said in your post, its wonderful.

2nd- 1/10 TOO simple. xp I can't even tell what its for. sweatdrop

3rd- 8/10 The main page needs a little more than just a "welcome". Also, I think there should be a border around the center text area, it would look cleaner.



7/10- The top banner is too big and it really causes the reader to look at it more than the info you have written below. Decreasing the height should help. The buttons are a little too big.

It's not an iframe [scratch: you edit too much. arr.], when I made that iframes were IE only. The second site would be better expressed thus:

http://dart.mine.nu/tdl/view.php?id=2

Ah ok. I see what it does. On looks though I still give it a 1. ^^; The site looks useful though. If you want other people to use it you should create a nice looking layout.
