Who's webdesign is better?

**Bazooka Tooth** · 01-13-2006, 01:12 AM

So I talked to this guy online about pool cues, he is supposed to make a really good cue....well I went to his website and was like omg this sucks, I hope his lazy website doesnt reflect the work on his cues...

anyways I went to college for graphic arts, and told him that people who havent used his product is going to measure his companie's worth based on his logo and website...

and so he may give me a free pool table and some cues to do his site and logos...

Nice

**BulkMeUp** · 01-13-2006, 09:31 AM

His current site looks very amateurish. Yours looks much better.

**Ghost_Dog** · 01-13-2006, 09:44 AM

Looks like he used the basic angelfire web editor to make his.

**TJ Cline** · 01-13-2006, 10:30 AM

Both look like crap

**Dale Mabry** · 01-13-2006, 10:33 AM

They both have too much worthless information on the home page. "Here at American Billiards we treat you like you are supposed to be treated". Like there are websites that put, "American Billiards, we treat you like the shit that you are".

lol@ geocities.

i have done a fair bit of pro webdesign myself. My honest opinion:

his one is amatuerish but at least it has some colour

yours has nice graphics but it has no colour and therefore looks boring. i didnt stick around to even find out what it was about

personally i would go with neither i would pay me to do the design

Domain = ?

Your design is nice, but it needs more color and a more interesting left menu.

Instead of the links section (I don't know why you would want links to other pages on the first page), you should just use a picture of a nice looking pool table and wrap the text around it.

I was refering to the name of his domain...

**Witmaster** · 01-13-2006, 12:50 PM

Ahhh. OL sorry. I thought it was unlikely that in this day and age someone didn't know what "Domain" was but hey, I thought I'd be polite.

**maniclion** · 01-13-2006, 12:51 PM

The Gray and Black is dull, the text is blurred and hard to focus on, nothing pops off of the page it's like looking at the obituaries in the newspaper. He should re-do his logo as the cowboy hitting the cue ball with a rifle or something.

**Bazooka Tooth** · 01-13-2006, 02:43 PM

thanks for the input all, Ill make sure to add some color in there, I agree it could us some, Im just waiting on him to choose a color he wants to represent his company...

as for the information on the site, I just copy/pasted his information so its the same...This is his site, I dont have any info to add.

**maniclion** · 01-13-2006, 02:59 PM

The home page should have vivid pictures related to links and not a huge 'About Us' paragraph. Put hyperlinked pics of each product category in a circle around a brightly colored nine ball configuration.

lol Im not going all out on this, Im not getting paid for it...Im getting product, and Im not even sure how much product.

Im hoping for a free pool table and a cue or more...but Ill see I guess.

If I were getting paid Id try alot harder

A free pool table and cue or more is payment and it wouldn't take much effort to put together some pics of his product in a nice vivid display on his home page, maybe if he's impressed he'll pay you to do the whole site. I made $1500 on my first site and it had 6 pages and I had to take a few pictures, I made $600 more just on updating it.

It's good side money.

**Ghost_Dog** · 01-13-2006, 03:40 PM

flash owns, I'm a flash master, but WAAYYY to lazy to make flash anims but on ocassion...

flash is hard...and would take too much time...personally I dont like company sites that use flash, its too confusing and unnecessary.

personal sites makes more sense....but when Im looking for information I dont want graphics flying around the screen at me

**maniclion** · 01-13-2006, 03:48 PM

I'm against flash animations on websites where all you need is information, I think it's a waste of time and space. Make it simple yet visually compelling, with high contrast text/background.
