Quake3World

I just started this website yesterday, aiming for an all around informational and resourceful Quake III site. Remember, this is just the start! I should probably also dish out a few bucks for a domain name.

Just looking for feedback, suggestions, etc :icon32:

BTW: I did NOT make this topic for advertising, I want feedback!

Also warning to firefox users: I don't think my site displays correctly in firefox, doesen't like some of my code, which I don't know how to fix :icon33:

cool :icon25:

Like the cursor :icon19:

It looks nice, although the look of it doesn't really say "Quake" all that much to me. While this isn't a bad thing about the design of the site in itself, it's more that it's not immediately obvious what the site is about. Just look at a site like http://www.planetquake.com, that just screams "Quake". Get my point?

I agree, i think i'll play around with some quake images and see if any go with the colors...

Erm, can someone else test this for me, go to view source and see if it comes up? For some reason it wont come up on my computer

Also,does someone have a nice closeup of Flisk's face? I want to use that on my banner :icon25:

Source comes up fine (in firefox) here.
I see you have styles defined inside your HTML. Any reason why you've done this? For maintainability, you really want all style definitions in a seperate CSS file.

Im lazy when it comes to that, ill think about using more .css files, i also made a new logo, more q3'ish i just took a screenshot of klesk and put it in,

nice :icon14:

Interesting that you say lazy, since it takes less time using a .css file then having to manually typing all the codes each time.

The layout is good...but the images and colors aren't exactly the first that come to mind when i think of quake

that's a good point...once you get a hand of css color assignments and transparent images changing colors become A LOT less painless

I was thinking of making it more of a red color :icon26:

I'm thinking mabye more along the lines of a bloody red color?



I changed the whole sites color scheme to that red, should look a bit more quake 3 now

that works...but it would work really well if the stripe in the middle was black or a very dark gray and the background of the site also black

yeah I like that, I like that. Looking good.

But like pyrogenik said, a darker background might help as well. Maybe indeed black with the content panel being a dark gray with white letters (*cough* like Quake3world *cough*)
