My new website. [Give me ratings]

[DarkDragonLord]

Hi everyone!

Well, i'm soon releasing my new website so i need you to tell ma about it,give me ratings, critiques, ideas, etc.

Right now just layout and systems/codes working. I'll start adding content soon.

It is multi-language support so you can change languages in thwe upper right menu. It detects browser language. If portuguese, website is portuguese. If not, start in english. Btw, it already save a cookie with the language setting that expires in 1month.

Where is "english side" will be buttons, RSS and other options.

The news system is cutenews. (still making the news layout.) And the counter is bbclone. Speaking of it, disregard about the PHP error in the footer, i've disabled the counter yet, since i didnt official opened the website,i dont want it to count my own visits for testing.

Buttons are PNG so, if you are using a browser without PNG transparency support, i've added a pngbehavior hack, so when website finishes loading, the transparency channel of PNG become trasparent using a blank gif.

And contact form is php+AJAX, working already ^^

The link is:
http://www.raphaelddl.com/index.php

dont forget of the index.php since i setup'ed in htaccess that http://www.raphaelddl.com/ will go to "Under construction" page.

Just to finish, the website is based on the skin of my forums at --> http://forums.raphaelddl.com

Test everything and tell me any issues, layout problems or else.
Its made to work on 800x600 ++ resolutions. (In fact i did not tested on 800x600. If creates a horizontal scroll bar, please let me know!

And the slogan, tell me if you liked the "Designing Solutions for You"

Thanks for the replies!

Hmm... doesn't look bad, good job on it. The gray parts, I'm not too sure about, but the rest looks pretty nice to me.

I like it the site looks good, I especially like the the fact that you have made such an easy-to-use multi-lingual setup. A point though, on your contact form, you may want to add a javascript validator which makes sure that certain fields aren't empty, because I was able to send a comment through to you on it without having any of the fields filled out.

Over all layout very nice, fluent and eye catching. I don't know tons about web design but maybe some roll over effects on your navigation buttons possibly with sound?

Hrmmm, I get a Warning: Variable passed to each() is not an array or object in /home/darkdrag/public_html/raphaelddl.com/index.php on line 509 which I don't think that's a good thing...

Where there's blue on the site, I love it. The header and the content area, however, just seem to abruptly end and become grey. The edges or more so the corners are too sharp. Perhaps you can put a border around it?

hmm these could be done with flash only. If i do using html or/e java, the page load will be high and one of things i want is to a light load website.

answer for first paragraph is here :D

for the border, i`ll try use the border you said and check if is good.

Love the reflections and the language bars!

Totally adore the color scheme.

And the site loaded up very quickly [extra points for that!]

But I think the Background [the dark grey] could do with a little more blue in it, or maybe even a little pattern. [because a lot of it is visible on higher resolutions]

overall a 9.5/10

Nice site

but I would like to give a suggestion

Why not add an effect, when some one moves the mouse pointer over the navigation links it should get highlighted , I don't what it is called I forgot lol

Overall nice site

Nice website...very neat but yeah I agree...probably put some Flash action in there if you can.
