Hi ive just opened my new mapping site at:
www.newbiemapping.com

Hopefully i will get onto adding more downloads and tutorials but i'd just thought id post it here.

Mr-Softy :D

It's a good looking site, but some things that would improve on it-

Don't use "u" like you did in the poll, looks really unproffesional. On the maps downloads, don't say things like

"please download"

Give a description, then your opinion, but don't ask for downloads

Mr-Softy isn't so bad, try to love him like I do.

Hi Mr-Softy :donrluvs:

The site is bad and you should feel bad.

Very unprofessional. Stretched banner is more lose than the next leading brand.

Being a newbie mapping site is no excuse for bad english.

congratz!

stretched pic, repeating header bad, change the 100% table header width to 800 or so, I dont like nuke much, so code or get coded a site, lose the aol chat room typing on your site

hahaha top call GL.

Im no fan oh phpnuke or any premade php website engine :'(

good to see you have the motivation for it tho. My site = http://mapmonger.com

Ok, great initiative, but the banner is repeating by the 1280/1024 resolution I use here at school.. It does'nt look professional..:



Okay, I have to say that when I'm home, I'll use the 1024/768 resolution, but is it's still not looking good..
I also don't like the standard template.... To dark

yeah i had the same prob with repeating banner..... Its pretty bad - just ask for some help in the art forum man someone will probably be more than happy to design you something original.

Guys guys, dont be so harsh. He is 38 out of the top 100. Thats pretty good.

Yeah, maybe you should drop the login down into the menu bar and put the register button after the login one. And possibly put it all on the left side of the screen, roughly 10px away from the edge.

As for the banner, maybe something with more content, and more along the lines of what your site is about. A simple collage of hammer pics, custom maps, and some of the in game tools that are used when testing a map. Such as wireframe fading into the actual map (2 screens one wire one not fading into one another left-right or vice versa)

And as said before...proper English is a #1. You want people to go to you for help and you can't spell?? Not going to work.

Edit: Sorry, got so caught up in that I forgot to mention, good job :D

thx for the feedback, but for me the banner lookz as thought it fits perfectly, but from the screenshot above looks like its to short.

and ill change the aol typing :P, i was kinda in a rush when i was writing it and ive forgetting to change it since i did it :(

ill change it now :)

Now it looks REALLY nice!! GJ!
