Forum :: Lounge :: First Web Design[Review]

I accept all criticism. I will be getting a domain soon but I want to make sure the home page is decent. 
-I am new with photoshop. So the banners and such are kinda plain.

Here is the website:
Forgotten Memories

Edit:
If you are sent to the forums for what ever reason.

Alright, constructive criticism right?

Lets go with the things I liked, the huge flash banner thing was very cool. The colors on the homepage are great, personally I think if you added more to the banners it would look worse.

I don't like the forums at all. Also, if possible tone down the whole "The best private server, with unique features thing", Not the quote from a player just the other stuff. 

I don't know if its just me, but I don't like people telling me "this is the best" I would rather decide it was the best based on my experience. 

All in all the homepage looks great :)!

Love you too.

Alright. Thanks.

You think it would be better, if I set a matching forum theme with the home page?
Instead of going from sexy blue to - woah green?

Also, I couldn't think of any better quotes. Lol...

-Edit

This was sloppy work, anyway.
I did this in a couple hours xD.

Yeah, that would look a lot better. Your homepage is on par with Sony and Apple right now. If you look at apples advertisements they are always simple. Not to busy, but very sleek and refined. Windows is gravitating toward that theme for the simple reason that it works. The green needs to look more sleek, or just change it to the blue you had. Then I'll be happy xD.

Love you too.

LOL..you'll be happy.

But thanks I will be changing it.
I will also be changing the Favicon and Forum Icon and FM Icon.
It was Green & Black. We are going to Blue and Black. :O

And I will probably use Photobliss. Look it up if you like.
I will probably have to pay for it but it seems unique.

-Edit

For practice I am willing to create/help others websites.

It's okay, but I think I've seen something simlar else where.. did you use a base? If I looked I could find what im lookin for.

Other than that... It isn't to bad.

Yes I used a base.
I didn't feel like coding from scratch.
I can code this though from scratch.

Lets see...

- The Logo needs to be padded from the top of the page a bit.

- The Logo needs to be a lighter colour to contrast against the background.

- The navigation is clear, but feels like it could be jazzed up a bit.

- The flash element is interesting, but the very bland pictures negate any effect it may have. Perhaps some in-game images with text over the top would have a better effect.

- Professional Staff. Great. Front page worthy though?

- Forums are very rainbow. I'd keep the forum and website as close as possible in colour scheme.

PS. This isn't on par with Sony or Apple's design. For starters they wouldn't have a giant rotating flash block on the front page.

Well. I try to do that keep the home page & the forums together.
The rainbow color scheme is just the BG.

I was just working on the logo to be padded down.
I was going to replace that with in-game pictures but I am waiting for the Owner.

I will lighter the color of the logo.-Thanks

Yes it's Pro Staff = Front Page Worthy

Thanks..I am really considering all this feedback not for the EO Website but for my skills in general.

I kind of like the homepage template, but since you didn't really design the template I can't really say much.

- Banner is huge and takes up most of the home page, I don't like to scroll halfway down a site just to see the contents.

- Forum doesn't match, why does it have a completely different template?

- This template doesn't really suit an online game like this.

- Better yet, make a full template from scratch then ask for opinions and criticism on something you actually made yourself.
