Title: Website Design
Post by: yourlife on 9 August 2010, 02:53

Any comments on my (unfinished) website?
http://www.yourlifegroup.org/index.php?p=home&t=Home (http://www.yourlifegroup.org/index.php?p=home&t=Home)

It just uses $_GET for the title and the file
I need to correct the 404

It's not bad start, but It's a little bland.

Whats up with green and blue arrows?

No idea, its just a logo I dreamed up when I was 10.
I just simply edited it over the years.
1. remove red border (my original logo was horrible)
2. remove background all together
3. added gradient
4. added glass effect
5. removed glass effect
6. added shadow
7. added copyright symbol
8. replaced copyright with unregistered trademark symbol

And that's a logo history!

The site looks very impressive.

If you're appealing to search engines and run on Apache HTTP Server, you could use mod_rewrite. I noticed your URLs are messy. If you can turn them into example.com/{p}/{t} then search engines and visitors will have an easier time around your site.

http://www.workingwith.me.uk/articles/scripting/mod_rewrite (http://www.workingwith.me.uk/articles/scripting/mod_rewrite) explains this situation well.

As for the search engine, you can try looking for one online or making your own if you know how to. I would look at Sphider or Sphider-plus, but I haven't tried any, so do a bit of trial and error and look around for the best one.
