Site is almost done.....needed to launch early to show prospective clients...
IF YOU DONT HAVE A WEBSITE DO NOT COMMENT. MAKE SURE THAT YOU DROP YOUR URL WITH YOU CRITIQUES....
I don't need to know what your little teacher told you in web101 class...
We need a lot more tweaks...such as sound shut off, optimizing loading etc.... .... need your feedback on overall design concept....
THANKS IN ADVANCE....

my web101 teacher told me it was annoying that your background loop drowned out my music.
my url is in my profile.
the site looks ok, concept wise... to me... but a bunch of your bitmap fonts are distorted/blurry, and they should be nice and crisp.
the '01,02' buttons along the upper left, are blurry... the 'liquid gear, etc. text is blurry, and the news all looks a bit blurry. lots of blurry bitmap fonts.
liked the image transitions. very nice.
clean up the fonts and it will look a lot better...
and give the user a way to turn off the sound loop... or better yet get rid of it all together.

yeah like I said.... music needs a turn off switch....
having problems with the font...its pixel font and only shows up ok sometimes.... when I use them as bitmaps they show up ok on the featured main text and for the button links on the top left....
but otherwise nothing but problems and supposedly these are made for flash.... from atomicmedia.net
Any advice...we are not lowering the quality...it just doesn't show up properly when we put it in flash.....

well, theres the interger issue... they have to be located on a round number... 54.0 (not 54.3)
also check that theyre not bolded, and theyre aligned left... those are the only reasons ive ever had problems with a bitmap font.i'd check the ones that are showing up clean, and figure out what the difference is between them and the blurry sections.

do a search for pixel fonts in here.. that will tell you what to do, to clean them up.
ie. makesure they are on exactpixels and not 45.3 but 45..
(the x and y position)

ok will try the stuff I have found...but anyone have any suggestions on a different font that is similar and they didn't have problems with?
I know this is one of the famous lose your credibility questions. But no one seems to have a direct answer and for some reason some peoples solutions only work for them....

"I don't need to know what your little teacher told you in web101 class..."
what an ass
- liquid0
yeah 100 bucks...... and on top of that..... limited font only has letters and numbers.....
I think my friend tried kroeger 5_53 and it still showed up blurry.... I think the kid is doing something wrong and he doesnt know it.......
zero the x and y coordinates....left justify..... make sure you are using the font at the correct size.... anything else?
- liquid0
hey quamb if you think that was a stupid comment then it wasn't directed at you....
other than that......do you have anything useful to say? I mean seriously...not sarcastic....
- neeko0
the miniml fonts are worth the investment...
if you have the font working in one place on your site and fucked up in another, the problem isnt with the font.
this topic has, as someone else mentioned been covered a lot around here... run a search of the PV-AN for pixel fonts, bitmap fonts, etc. and perhaps you'll find more tips.
and im with quamb... it doesnt hurt to be more pleasant when youre asking for favors.
- liquid0
ok. maybe a bit sarcastic... just didn't want to hear the boloney from the noobs ....
thanks for the advice...
- quik0

whom is your target audience? "Enter Broadband Experience", what if I don't have Broadband of any kind? Think about, 90% of the world is still on a regular LAN line? That site will take forever to load and your loading text is WAY blurred. Well, you posted this so I critiqued it, hope it helps. :)

liquid you have bad taste man sorry
- liquid0
jason and only to jason.....
1) bad taste in what? style?
2) if you would have read the original post ...I said that we needed tweaks... and we launched early to show prospective clients
3) you agreed with quik about me being a noob... but unless you have been on longer then
Resident since: jan 05 03
well........4) been reading NT for about 10 months... just never posted cause I didn't want to say shit until I had a site... so you need to jump in a lake
5) why everyone got to hate for....you guys are too freakin angry.... go get a 9-5 if shit like this puts a bug up your ass....and if you are in a 9-5 get a different one.....
6) how many bevels before it becomes too much?
- unknown0
yep, I get kicked off all the time for making shit comments hee hee. I was just messing with you, take it easy. You jump the gun quickly, if you read my second post I said constructive criticism, but since you are new here you wouldn't realize that you should leave comments the the PV sectiona nd not the PB section. You don't shoot down someone's post there. "I think this is nicer than the Netherlands one...."
- liquid0
jason...
about the style thing....if you were referring to henry street thing.....I apologize for some of what I said.....
actually I didnt check it before I posted .....they must have changed their site homepage.... it didnt have misc. buttons on the bottom left..... check out the rest of the pages they are nice..... and it's my opinion.... not too down yours... I liked the Netherlands one too....
