Website For My Work, I Want Your Opinions.

[Outrun]

This is the website for the company I work for. I want to get honest opinions of what you guys think of it. I am in advertising so it is my job to convince people to advertise with us on the radio, and on our homepage. Let’s say you were looking around, had a product you want to get out to the public, would you consider us based on the way our page looks? Would you? If not, why not? I would tell you what I think, but I want some opinions of what the general public thinks of our homepage. Let me know the resolution of your monitor too. I want honest opinions. If you think it looks great say so, if you think it looks like garbage, it wont hurt my feelings.

The page doesnt scale with changes to screen resolution.

The scrolling text = BAD. And what's with the 30 animated gif advertisements? I'd get rid of the advertisment at the top of the page for site that gave you the code for the nav bar.

And you need to seperate the main content in the middle, the "whats new at GCN" is to close to the advertisments just above it. Need to create a tad bit more seperation.

I would move the advertisments above the "whats new at GCN" to below the information. It's not very appealing to frame your content in advertisments down the left side and on the top.

what I mean:

<header>
__ads____
| content
| content
|


<header>
| content

|___ads__

I would also suggest that instead of the scolling text, you make a banner graphic that has the information about the subscription that has a background that matches the website color, and you put it at the top of the page somewhere. Instead of the annoying scrolling text you can have a simple banner graphic that's less flashy and links to your subscription page.

I didn't design it, it's our advertisers that keep the network alive. That's why they are all over the place.

Punch, I agree, the ads in the middle would look better than having them all along the left side of the page.

Scaling with the screen size is a biggy to add/fix.

Divising a way to "div"vy up the screen would be my next suggestion. Get rid of the ugly table borders, etc.

As a matter of preference and compatibility I'd also get rid of the popup menus. But that's a pet-peeve more than constructive criticism I guess.

Change to a rotating banner ad for advertisement, that will free up a ton of screen space. And locate it in one location and one location only. Preferably at the bottom of the page.

The one thing that struck me is that there are a ton of advertisements on the page. It takes away from the credibility of the page to have that many ads.
