Re: Is this layout for my website terrible?

Make pleasingly round buttons, eliminate the paint-thinner green colour, move things to the center so we can actually see them, and the GoDaddy banner (which I can't see) warning is probably beyond your control, but if it isn't make it larger then 6 point font.

"I'm Gershmer.

I own a website."

Very informational About me page. Your layout could use some center alignment and the improvements big-bang suggested.

You must  have a form of AdBlock then.

In terms of other stuff, I'll think about it.

I'm assuming the content is unfinished, but since the layout is the same as the main page the same suggestions apply. And a background that doesn't really make your text stand out just hurts your eyes. If you like a green background, you could even make it "standard" lime green, just not a dark shade like it is now.

I like gradient backgrounds. I think that's possible with CSS?

I'll add more info later. This IS filed under /asptests of my website.

I could probably get center alignment working.

Or you could just do this:

Code:

<body background=<some gradient image>

Which I  had done originally, but turned down.

Re: Is this layout for my website terrible?

Because there isn't much on the site, CSS will be a snap. With a few "p: align"s and a layout change, it would look neat. By layout change, I mean starting from scratch  big_smile

Updated the website (kept the backup without the changes)

http://gershmer.net/asptests  - Same URL, a very quick center alignment, obviously needs to be fixed with more line breaks  big_smile  (jk, I really don't know)

Re: Is this layout for my website terrible?

Get rid of the add thing...

The buttons could be more appealing, and closer to the top like the scratch website.

I'm not going to complain about the info of course, because you're most likely not done.

Also the main colors aren't the best. And make a cool font  yikes

I have absolutely how to remake those buttons, they're actual button objects, not images. For the ad thing, do you mean the actual ad, or the thing that says get an ad blocker if you don't like it? And yeah, the info is placeholder info.

Send me some money then (for the actual ad), this is on free hosting, because I don't want it to be hosted on my computer, because my computer is off too often, but maybe when I renew it will pay for my hosting (mother's credit card  big_smile ) and the ad will go away w/o AdBlock.

Re: Is this layout for my website terrible?

You know the source I used for my asp example?
It's C#.

Code:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

    }
    protected void LinkButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (TextBox1.Text != "")
        {
            Label2.Text = "Hello there, " + TextBox1.Text + "!";
            Label3.Visible = false;
            LinkButton1.Visible = false;
            TextBox1.Visible = false;
        }
    }
}

            TextBox1.Visible = false;

    }
}

I didn't know I could use RAW C sharp or RAW Visual Basic!

I thought it still had to be setup like a normal web page!

THANK YOU!!!!

I actually know some C#!!!

Make the background white. Seriously. O.o It's the rule #1 for nicely designed neutral-themed websites. ><

:-D Yay! See how it looks better and more like Google already? xD

Now we should do something with the buttons... if you can, please place them in the center. As for the design, I did these quick buttons for you, hope you like them ^^



You can use either these two:
http://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww97/MyRedNeptune/aboutme1.png?t=1261970493 and http://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww97/MyRedNeptune/programs1.png?t=1261970491

or these:
http://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww97/MyRedNeptune/aboutme2.png?t=1261970494 and http://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww97/MyRedNeptune/programs2.png?t=1261970494

or, if you decide to make it more cool and less official-looking and change it all to black, these will fit:
http://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww97/MyRedNeptune/aboutme3.png?t=1261970496 and http://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww97/MyRedNeptune/programs3.png?t=1261970495
