Rate my page layout.

Here's the layout im going to using for my personal web page. It's still not done yet, and probably wont be for awhile, but if you could rate it from 1-10 and/or give me opinions on what I should add or take out, it would be very appreciative. Thanks a lot.

Ooops, Here's URL: http://www.geocities.com/dadream_14/sofar.html

okay.. first off... that is a really cool interface.. you did a good job on it..

but it did seem to take a long time to load.. but then again... I can only connect at 24kbps.. :(

good job on the interface.. everything looks sharp, and easy to read

okay.. just noticed this.. on the gallery button.. the drop shadow covers up the yello bar around the button..

Yeah I see that, Thanks for pointing that out for me. Also that was just a screen shot of it in my browser window (1024x768) and it was high quality. When I really post it as a html file, it should load a lot faster for you, but 24kbs has to suck. Tweak your modem. Thanks for you comments!

That's nice. You are obviously a fan of phong.com I see. it is attractive though.

ahhh!!! phong!!!

For that type of design, its good. Perhaps a couple things:

on the links graphic on the lower left..do you plan on using graphic buttons in there so that it flows with the rest of the page?

Add a little Depth to your about,tutorials, gallary and Misc buttons. Airbrushing should do that. The buttons just seem to flat sitting right next to the lollipop thing.

Lastly, this may sound very nitpicky, but I gotta say it. Make the direction of lighting more uniform. Looks like it is coming from like 3 different directions, but its only casting shadows in one direction.

Other than that, Its smooth, looks like it will flow nicely. Just watch those filesizes.

Yeah, phongs old site influenced my site now. Thankfully you guys aren't pricks and call me a ripper. Im just started really designing sites, and this one im putting a lot of time into. I'll take all your idea's and i'll be putting them to work. Thanks a lot guys!

That is a creative design man, good job.

Other than what was said, I have no suggestions, but I do like it.

And Snore........I suggest getting cable.

It took me about .0035 seconds to load that page.

well.. cable isn't available in our area, neither is dsl.. and.. as for the connection speed.. well its mainly because of my cheapo 56k winmodem, coupled with netzero... :(

Snore (el cheapo.. :P )
