Site review

So I'm not really a graphic designer, but gave it a shot.

TheBabyRattle.com

Basically its like an ebay/craiglist for baby stuff, except everything is free.

If you have facebook, you can use it to login

The Facebook App edition is TheBabyRattle.com - Facebook Edition

Feedback would be nice.

I have a couple issues.

1. Your site contains CSS errors. Most notably is your use of font-style:bold; when it is font-weight:bold;
2. Your site contains HTML errors
3. I can barely see the logo, it is so lightly colored. Try making it a bit darker
4. I don't like how I have to horizontally scroll to see the rest of the navmenu. Try making it so it doesn't extend past 100%
5. I also can not see where it says "chris billish just posted a Baby Crib for sale ". I thought the space was blank until I highlighted it and found text there. Again, make it a bit darker

Hope this helps

Thanks,

How wide is your monitor? I have the width set to be 75% I think, I'll have to double check.

I think it is 1024x768. Now looking at your source code I have another issue but it's just your coding style.

1. Your menus should be in a list like
<ul>
<li><a href>asdf</a></li>
</ul>
Not just a bunch of anchor tags
2. You shouldn't use a fixed height on the wrapper. Instead let the length determine itself by the amount of content in it


You have min-width:1100px; but the max-width at 75%. You would have to be coding for HUGE resolutions for that to work.

Hope this helps

The green text on your home page seems out of place... there is no other green anywhere I can see.

Sitck with your colour scheme, and perhaps darken the pink text a little. I noticed they're not all the same and some are so light they get lost in the background.

'Tis very cute though

First of all ,I need to scroll the navigation bar to see the entire page.
Selection of colors is poor in the header.You need to darken the colors a bit-- selection of colors is however personal--
The caption around the header is not absorbing.
The color selection of the caption and the header should be darkened to have a grand look.
I feel you don't need to have a search box right at the center of the page. Perhaps a lesser size of the search box at the left with some scope to provide content at the middle of the page would be great to look at.
The white background of the page is pretty reflexive.

beyond it being a little wide, i like the simplicity. nice and clean. I will say, though, that i have never been a fan of the "framing" of a site in the browser, i always assume the broswer does that for you.

Nice, clean and easy. Simple is beautiful.
;-)

Nice site.colour combination & layout is really cool.

Unfortunately I do not see anything. The site is no longer there.

It is fine.

Cool idea.
