New Website Design

It looks really good!

You certainly have skills for webpages designing, Chris.


A couple of comments:

1- You have left a considerably wide empty (blue) space at the right side of the page. Why? What for? Isn't it better to enlarge the main frame to the right?

2- I was a little confused at the beginning. The main page has a "Cash of Civs: Latest News" title, but the news aren't right behind it. You put the "intro", "project status" and "help needed" in between the "news" title and the news themselves and I found it strange. Like if "intro", etc are part of the latest news... I think what you have there is a main page that has these elements:
Introduction/Synopsis
Project Status
Help Needed
Latest News

and all these are considered to be under the "latest news" title. I'd suggest that you replace the "Cash of Civs: Latest News" title with a "Clash of Civs: Main (or Home) Page" and then just above the news you put a "Latest News" title.

Consequently, I'd merge the two links you have in red at the top named "Latest News" and "Clash Synopsis" into a single one called "Main (or Home) Page".


Good job, Chris!

That's an *outstanding* design.

Really.

I think that's quite excellent.

I like the 'padding' on the right, to be honest. It gives the page a 'complete screen' feel, like a framed picture's matting.

Have you ever wanted to be a Gui designer? Have we got a job for you . . .

Glad you like it!

The bar on the right is there because it looks better than not having it, the problem is that the bigger the resolution, the bigger the blue area. This is because I've fixed the 'main' section at 700 pixels, so that people at large resoultions don't have to squint too much to read it, while people at 640x480 don't have to scroll horizontally too much.

Regarding GUI's, sure, but not at the moment, I've got enough work as it is!
