For 2hrs work, you have an ok start... A couple of quick comments:

1) The colors do not work well for me.
- Dark green text on a green background is a little (not extremely) hard to read.
- Maybe try making the text purple to match the banner at the top of the page. (not sure if that will be much better or not...)

2) The Google adds definitely stand out as adds. Depending on your objective for this site, you may want to try to incorporate them into the information on the page a little more.

First, ur banner reminds me of the show FRIENDS colored logo
anyway
2 hours...u spend that on adding the ads and paypal link?

Not much there to be honest
Not much at all

it's a huge shame because when i saw the url i though, wow, will be one hell of a site
It has, in my opinion HUGE potential.
Please, take my advice, get it well designed and honestly, with a little seo your site can go places

Good luck. ^^

Well, you are just a starter, then I can say - Good Work, Keep it Up.

But if you are expert in designing then, please take advices of Tanya.

Thanks for the comments so far. You are all right. I couldn't design or word a site for my life. But I'm a good coder. That said, how can I improve the site?

The adds are kind of annoying. I would change the colors a bit. Besides that..not bad for 2 hr
Have you gotten any sales?

kimberlybarryd · 07-28-2007, 06:25 AM

No sales yet. Just want to give away the free icons. If it makes a fiver in the next year I'll be up.

Some people don't like it when a stranger offers help.
But if you're interested in making, 'a lot more than a fiver' in the next week or two, then please pm me.
I'll be willing to help redesign and set up your site...just a real shame to let it be as is.
Always wanted to play with a *icon site of some sort

I have to agree with the above posts. If it's just for fun and you're not too worried about it, then that's great and you're fine but if you actually want people to come to the site and stay and possibly purchase the product, a better design is needed.

I agree with the comments about the color scheme. Definitely change the font color in the text. I would also minimize the advertising.
