Re: new barely legal website!!!!!!!!!1

that site is umm coming in hot as you mass fellows say. i believe that if you were to have pictures of that charactor named "benji" that site would be a phenon. also i do not like the rap music in the backround. if we want this sport to grow and you to pick up more sponsers i would highly recomend to play a tune from neil diamond, or even the infamous elton john. if you were to have playing in the background piano man, that site would be on top of its game....

Re: new barely legal website!!!!!!!!!1

it sux. honestly. it doesnt look like a stunt or motorcycle website..i mean whats with the world graphic in the bckgrnd? Im not tryin to be a **** just giving my honest opinion (that of a degree having graphic designer) if i was you i'd come up with a theme to put in the site (i.e. motorcycles) and a color scheme too instead of all blue.

and that other guy is right about the loading times, although i dont think its picture size its more like your server sux..cuz i wasnt even tryin to wait for the video to download.

Re: new barely legal website!!!!!!!!!1

ok i looked at it again and let some stuff load...so yeah. i know this kid, he'll make you a webpage for a very reasonable fee. his names Chris he runs Almost Basic Productions. send me a pm and i'll give you his email. But if you dont want to do that you should also get rid of the HUGE F"in pictures that you use as a bckgrnd on some of the pages...WICKED distracting. **** if you want some background images, send me your pics i'll ****in make some **** for you.

Re: new barely legal website!!!!!!!!!1

Yeah 929 ur knows what he's talking about, the pics loading way to slowly(which doesn't make sense because they're small), the vid not loading, the gigantic pics as backrounds(you should always keep your page theme the same, for the most part), and the overall feel of it is not a stunt site, but the feel of the site is my personal opinion. Now I would suggest getting someone to design it for you, it's most likely not going to be expensive, I've been in school for web design, and you get a design for cheap. And then just host it through a site for like 10 bucks a month, and S**t will be great. But don't take it all negatively, you site navigates correctly and I think all your links worked, I would say those are two biggest peevs about sites, so keep working on it and it will come together.

Get rid of dial up? LOL you obviously know a small percent about graphics and websites, where as I have done it for a living. Allow me to retort. Your pictures are too big you need to make them into thumbnails by resizing them with any number of photo editing programs out there today. The reason they are so slow is you are cramming an almost 3 MB photograph into a 240 x 180 space. RESIZE it! If you need to see what everyone's computer (broadband or dial up) is having to process just put your mouse pointer over your pics on your home page, hold down your left mouse button and drag the picture to your browser address bar. Thats how big all of your picturers are and they need to be resized. God I love these crazy kids.....

actually mr.graphicdesignsmartypants, its not resizing them its called Optimizing in photoshop. what this does is shrink the file size to an appropriate amt. for the designated size of the photo. this is the most important thing to do with all photos that you are putting on a website. your pictures can still look really good it just condenses the electronic information. im not sure exactly how it does this, but it works like a charm.

I was thinking OPTIMIZE was too big of a word for him. But yes that is correct.

The origional size is 2592 X 1944 and yep, almost 3 megs. That's why it's taking so long. I resized this pic to an actual 240 X 180. It will load 100% quicker this way.
