the flash intro needs work
It was starting to type system staus: acess granted
or something

and it cut everythng after the : then started to type on a new line.

That music is way to loud. I wear head phones cos me speakers are roken and me ears are hurting.

Once in there is a script error on a age (dont know which one.)

The link to wireplay is outdated.

It should be www.gameplay.com/wireplay (http://www.gameplay.com/wireplay)

The jpgs have way to many colours, taking an age to dl/d. And the enws being below them is just stupid. Have the news at the top of the page.

The menus buttons should have <img src=blahblahblah border=0>

the HR image you have used for news are wrong, there isnt a break after news and the spinning q2 image.

Infact, any image with alink should have <border=0> in it.

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;CITE&gt; &nbsp;[/code]

Is why you shouldnt use Front page.

Use a table for you members bit so that th Bteam lines up with Bteam header.

For a message board visit www.ezboard.com (http://www.ezboard.com) they're the best going ATM.

Didnt realise it, but the menu bar goes on for WAY to long.

Surely you could have only a few links there that subdivide on the main page.

IE Message would give you a link to chat room or forum.

The explosion is out of sync with denotes win. (im guessing the explosion denotes win)

Surely clickiong on a game name should take you to its match report.

Demos + Skins shoudl all be listed in one downloads page.

ditto with links and clan links.

Conclusion

A terribly made site, dont use FP either get a program like dreamweaver or write it yourself. It is full of bloated code and iamges/text are all out of aligntment.

that huge space in the code tag is a load of HTML spaces.

You asked for opinions and advice, so don't then moan at everyone who doesn't like your site.

Firstly you're using Microsoft FrontPage which is a mistake. It's renound for generating bloated code.

The AVI at the top of your left hand sidebar is nearly 200k. That's about 10 times larger than *your whole page* should be, let alone for one file. It also looks tacky - lose it.

Each of your graphical links has a blue border round them. This makes the site look amateurish.

The animated Quake GIF looks a bit silly too (especially seeing as it's repeated several times throughout the page).

Your page produces JavaScript errors.

*All* of the graphics on your frontpage are too large (filesize wise) which means the site takes ages to load.

Scrolling text makes the site look amateurish.

I think that's enough for the time being.

Don’t dish FrontPage, it may cause hassle with code, but for first time web builders its a useful design tool.
You do however need to cut down your file sizes and putting an avi amongst all those images is a mistake. I also found errors mostly JAVA with IE5x. It’s a an unwritten rule that a site should take no more than 14seconds to load, or 50% of your visitors just wont bother. All in all it’s not a bad first attempt...

I disagree. Because it generates such awful code it gets people into bad habits, and once they've started using a code generation program they're unlikely to ever stop and learn HTML.

HTML is not difficult to learn, and the best way to start off making a website is to find a good tutorial and get yourself a freeware code editor such as Arachnophilia.

thanks for the comments about it tbh i dont now the first thing about computers or websites thats why i was so happy to get it up and going .i used aol press to make the site cos it was the only thing i had at hand when i tried to make the page.
time to load on most peeps computers is fast though i have tried it on several computers and it dont take that long to load especailly on isdn.
i also wanted the sote to look the way it is cos it is not a site selling stuff but a site for people within the gaming community to look at i think it looks boring following all the same pattern within a site

It aint that bad 4 qa first attempt, you should have seen mine...

But look at the Black Legion (http://www.webtopia.co.uk/bl) now, and you'll see a wealth of hand coded (by me i might add...) and humorous banter (also prob by me 8^)

Hand coding is the way forward, cos if you can't do anything by hand, then it aint worth doin cos the file sizes WILL be immense, apart fomr flash an ting of course 8P
