New website review

Bill · 03-12-2010, 10:48 AM

All of you have such good eyes. Thought I would ask you to check out a site I am working on for a model. Disclaimer..I did not take the pictures. Just working on her site.

The main page loads. It is the HOME link. the ~ in front of and behind "CHARiSMA" link to alternate designs. Which do you all like best?

ps. all of the text on the site is made up by me. She has to edit it.

I thought the main page and the other links looked pretty similar, and good.

But when is the portfolio link going to be working?

At the top of the page, in the header "~CHARiSMA~" the "~" at the beginning and at the end are the alternate home page designs, not the links at the bottoms. Her portfolio will be up soon.

Id say try bolding the links on the homepage, they look too slim being that the title text is so large. You might have to make the text images then in turn make them image links.

Just a thought.

I prefer the alternate (two-tone) design. From a developer's perspective I don't like tools that create ugly code. My personal suggestions:

- Move the styles to a separate stylesheet.
- Use CSS classes instead of appending a style tag to each element.

Example:

This scares me -->

<body text="#000000" style="background-color:#4c2f2f;background-image:url(wpimages/wp01cbfe41.png);background-repeat:repeat;background-position:top center;background-attachment:scroll; text-align:center; height:768px;">

It should look like this -->

<body>

with a style defined in the stylesheet as -->

Code:

body ## (supposed to be a left brace but it keeps getting changed)
  text="#000000";
  background-color:#4c2f2f;
  background-image:url(wpimages/wp01cbfe41.png);
  background-repeat:repeat;
  background-position:top center;
  background-attachment:scroll;
  text-align:center;
  height:768px;
}

- Use alt text for links and images for sight-impaired visitors

Make sure you spell check.

Her "Rates" page is asking about a male up artist.

http://www.modelcharisma.com/rates.html

There are so many pretty girls who love to pose for pictures. As for me, I love to model. I distinguish a difference between the two. Modeling is work. Modeling is work that I take very seriously and work very hard at.

I have established rates that are very reasonable and can fit with almost any project you may have. From hourly rates, to half day and full day rates, even multi-day rates for those bigger projects.

If you are ready to work with an established professional who is on time, works hard, and is ready to help you develop a successful project, just click on contact below and describe your project, let me know how long you will need me, will there be travel involved, and a brief description of the team (wardrobe, male up artists, etc.) and I will get right back to you with my rates.

I look forward to working with you

lol. Spell check wouldnt have caught that Wood! LIke I said, I just typed to fill up the space. She is writing her own stuff for those pages.

Lorem ipsum works well for that.
