Would love feedback on this site, especially negative! I have no ego, I promise not to get offended. Just want to make a good site. http://www.hubbardsranch.com/hr/default2.asp - www.hubbardsranch.com/hr/default2.asp <edit>oops, wrong address</edit> |

You have a good basic idea of a site, but the images are cr*ppy. They are all blurry and pixeled out. Try getting some better pic's. ------------- http://www.iportalx.net" rel="nofollow">

Hmm, they look good on my computer. And the one other computer I used to look at it. I will investigate further. I know the main background image is a little blurry, but I went a little lower res to help the load time. How big are the pics on your computer? Do you have any ideas as to why they don't look good? they are 72 dpi, and not blown up from tiny pics or anything. they were large scans at high res that I reduced. I will see what I can figure out... |

lol. Not my choice of words. Glad you mentioned it, though. Just more evidence that we should rethink that phrase. <edit>Ok, i changed that.</edit> Do you think the buttons in the upper right look ok? Something I took from another site where it fit the look better. the nice part is no graphics. |

The background picture is blurry, but thats good, it won't be to distracting taking visitors focus away from the actual content. I saw leave it. |

its blurry yes, and thats good, but its also pixeled out around the images. So it makes it look like an old cr*ppy image. ------------- http://www.iportalx.net" rel="nofollow">

I agree, but overall good concept. i would stray from the yellow/white fade on each pic over the bg pic. possibly just use a 1px grey/dark border. i think it would look a lot cleaner. ------------- ++ jim.. |
