Architect Archive

I am creating a web page for my arch business and need to find a site with jpegs of all fo the harvestors. If anyone has one or knows of one, please let me know. Also, i am throwing myself at your mercy, please take a peak at my site and give me some feedback. This is my first attempt ever at creating a web page, so i am sure there is plenty of room for improvement. Remember, it is under construction, but getting there.

www.geocities.com/capias_crafting/

this site has picts.

There are some other player sites in the FAQ and some of them might have pictures of harvesters too.

Three images in your Couches & Beds section weren't showing. After I got that far, your bandwidth got exceeded. I'd suggest moving away from Geocities if at all possible. Do a little research and you can find some places that will host your site for free and you can have plenty of storage space and bandwidth.

Other than that, it's a pretty clean and user friendly site. Perhaps make the pictures of everything thumbnails so that a person can see a larger view of an item if they wish. Also, you might want to change title of your site (in the HTML tags) so that it doesn't say "index" up in the title bar. It's a simple fix if you can do minor HTML edits. Also, for your image on your home page, try using a picture without your UI showing. Use ctrl+shift+h to hide it while in game, take a screenie, and use the command again to get it to show once you are done. That way you have a much cleaner image to work with and edit.

Another thing to consider is testing your web site on different monitor resolutions. I'm running 1024x768 and I am getting vertical scroll bars. While this isn't a bad thing, I always smile upon web sites that can have a home page without scroll bars. OK, i'm nit picking now. lol

Still, you have a great site that is simple and easy to use, yet still gets the needed info to the user. Keep up the good work on it!!!

Are the images in JPG format? Seemed like the main image on the front page took a while to load so it might be in the BMP format. BMP's take a lot more space than JPG. SO you'll do a lot better with the bandwidth if the images are in JPG format.

Thanks for the feedback guys, any suggestions on any other free hosting would be great. I have jpgs for all my images except the picture on the home page. I have retaken it already without all the ui stuff and will change out pretty soon. So far its been kinda fun doing it and if i wasnt having trouble already justifying to my wife why i need 2 accounts, i may spend the money on a web page, but that isnt gonna happen any time soon.

I will also work on adjusting some things and trying to make the home page shorter to avoid the scrolling. As far as the /index thing, that is the default for geocities home pages so i think i am kinda stuck atm.

If you know how to do some minor HTML edits, Geocities has a build in HTML editor you can use. Just go into your File Manager and hit the little pencil next to your index file or anything else with an .htm or .html tag or hit the check box beside the file and click the edit button near the top or bottom. Once you get in there you can edit the HTML tags. The one you are looking for to change is the one that looks like this:

<title>index</title>

Basically, you will just want to change the word "index" to anything you want it to be, like the title of your site. Be sure not to edit the tags inadvertantly or you might have some problems displaying thingson your site. On that note, always have a recent backup file around just incase. So, make a copy of your index before you start editing the HTML tags, especially if you are new to HTML. Also, you will probably have to do this for all pages with .htm or .html at the end unless you are running a frames web site (which is a whole monster by itself for the uninitiated). If you don't do it for each page, you will probably get "index" or something else at the top of the page like that on your home page. It's a little more work, but it all adds up to make a spiffy looking site.

Nice idea. I dont think there will be much problem doing the home page screenshot as a jpeg, its just finding hte time to do it. My darn home network was down so i did not have a chance to mess with it, but its running again...
