review my site

[scummerz]

it uses frames and has some games, i use frames so ppl think that i made the forum and gusest book
plz rate 1-100

[gabrialm]

1) frames are outdated
2) frames will never make people think you made anything
3) that is plagarism

sorry for being critical.

[curt15]

And the site is where?

[nahsorhseda]

ya frames can never do good and its illegal too
i used iframes in my site but the pages which were framed were all mine

[QuwenQ]

And your site is?

[scummerz]

why are frames illegal? it makes it easy to change the infomation. and it's scummerz.com, if anyone wants to complain say how i can make it better i only use free programs and no trials, i have frountpage Ultraedit Office 2002 Mozila firefox nvu visual basic free version and very basic programming knowledge except html

with the plagerism, on every single place i went to it said how to put it in my website ( had <embed src=""/> ) and most of the websites had the code made only for putting in personal websites



off topic how do i use silverlight, the free version of flash by microsoft but it isn't as easy to use .
Edit:
also i'm giving 50 credits for each point of good advice to make my website better.

Where's the link?

[mattura]

Haha! Frames are not illegal!!!
Design - Ouch! The background is very distracting, repeated fireworks are pretty hideous I have to say. Having games all in a column without gaps between is a bad idea too. In short, there is too much going on at once on the home page, why not make a linking page to the games where users can simply click on the link/icon to play the game they want?
the frames are ok

[scummerz]

i did make a separate games page and removed them from the home page, i will change the background but i can't deciede what background to use the link is scummerz.com

Rules of thumb for making a website (some of which you may or may not be in violation of)

1. When adding sounds and music to your webpage, you have to realize that in order for the page to be popular, people are going to hear the same sound/song 100s or even 1000s of times. At no point in time should the user feel annoyed. If the user begins to feel annoyed, then the webpage is better off without the sounds at all.

Directly related to you, I think that your sounds do get fairly annoying.

2. Frames are generally bad. Good website builders try to avoid them.

You pulled off the frames fairly well, with the exception of the fact that some of the stuff is cut off.

3. Marquee is bad. I'm not quite sure why, but I've heard that marquee is bad.

4. Being flashy is like a spice. If your website is too flashy, it will not look good. If a chicken noodle soup is too spicy, it will taste terrible.

There are areas of your site that are too flashy. There are also areas of your site that are not flashy enough.


More specific advice:

If you have a coming soon, unlink it, so if users click on it they are not given a 404 error.

Your pages are inconsistent in your "fanciness." Some pages are white backgrounds and plain text, and others (homepage) have very colorful text and flashy backgrounds.

And finally, some of your pages are too long. If your page starts getting to where the user need to scroll a lot, you should probably cut in into two or more separate pages.

An example would be your homepage. Your polls should probably moved to the poll page, and your games should probably each have their own page, and a description of the game. Videos should also have their own page.




Your page is good, it just needs a little refining.
