Gigahertz Games is officially LAUNCHED!!!

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Gigahertz Games is officially LAUNCHED!!!

I never said Gabriel was wrong about those designs - I was simply saying that there's no reason why I'm uncapable of helping/improving Adam's website. I didn't like the fact that he said that(incorrectly in my opinion) Adams site would only go downhill if I were to help out.

Anyways, I'd love feedback on that green one - it's still go alot of work to do on it(Link in my previous post).


OK, I take your point about the suggestion that you might not be capable - that's between you and Adam to decide, I guess.

As for a real critique of the green-theme'd site, I've taken a closer look at the code. Whilst you are declaring XHTML1.0 Strict, your code is full of invalid XHTML and actual errors.

You're missing the quotes around the path to link to your external stylesheet.

The paragraph text isn't in a paragraph block (you should put text inside <p> </p> tags, <br /> shouldn't be used to break up paragraphs, also note the space between "<br" and the "/>").

You have CSS embedded in the HTML. This is generally bad practise and means the browser cannot cache the CSS. Causes a poor visual experience whilst loading the page (especially larger pages).

<center> is completely deprecated and shouldn't be used in XHTML. Even its use in HTML4 isn't optimal. Formatting is the stylesheet's job.

The layout overall is centered, which is good. However, I think the only reason it actually displays as centered in IE, FF Opera is that each browser fall back to quirks mode due to the invalid XHTML. There's a simple method of using CSS alone to center a whole fixed-width site. Take a look at http://www.creditorbully.com/ for an example of a valid XHTML1.0 Strict site with CSS centering (very simple site, so easy to understand).

The colour scheme is a little off. The background of the News section and the background of the main section clash slightly. There are a couple of tools available that generate complementary colour schemes, or even take a look at http://kuler.adobe.com/ for some really good colour schemes.
