Hi guys

Recently joined this forum, really good resource, can't believe I hadn't found it earlier.

I recently embarked on making a website, learning by following tutorials on youtube and scouring the net. I really enjoy it, I even find myself looking at websites just to get some new ideas

Anyway, heres my website My Tenant Rights

[Citrus Cube Design]

Not bad at all for first web site.

Personally not keen on the logo.

I have had a quick look at the code and you use the H1 tag more than once. The H1 tag should only be used once.

You have put some of the JS scripts in external files and linked to them but there is some CSS and some JS which are in the actual page. Best to put that in an external file and link to it.

Yer I've had a few friends say the same about the logo, I was trying to go left-wing with it, don't think I've pulled it off, maybe a more subtle style is called for.

Didn't know that about the H1 tag, thanks for letting me know, I will change that.

Yer I will try and clean up the HTML and get external files, will look through the code and sort it.

Thanks again, really useful pointers and learned something new.

I also don't like the logo, and I really dont like the tyext effect you have on the "working towards a fairer system", in fact the whole box you have that on doesn't look good. maybe make the box transparent? Also not digging the snow effect, looks abit tacky.
Othetr than that, good for a first site.

Yer looks like the logos going be changed at some point. Yer I'm not too keen on the box either, kinda put it on to get an idea, will probably change that aswel.

I kinda like the snow, won't be on there much longer anyway, might change it to rain! haha

Thanks.

Thanks! I thought so as well, although there are a lot of websites which help tenants, you have to go between them, so thought I would make this. It would be good to get an active forum, as I have often had to go to landlord forums if I get an issue. Although the people searching this type of thing is generally low, if I help 1 person out it would be worth it.

good concept, and great first website.

Yes, as mentioned before, there are a few designer issues like your logo and the snow, but that does not matter too much in my eyes.

I did notice that you mention the forum link on your homepage, but the actual link is called "our community", perhaps you should change the link to "forum" makes instant sense to all visitors.

Nice job

P.H.

Thanks for the comments, much appreciated.

I was going to mention the forum link but thought it wasn't really design related, it was initially called 'forum', but was thinking 'community' but then changed to 'our community'. Thanks for bring it up, I will change it to 'forum' for the reasons you said.

Hopefully the website will help people out when it gets more searchable.

Thanks for your input.

Just an update...

• Made changes to 'fairer system' box on the homepage
  
• Changed 'our community' to 'forum'
  
• Added a 1px border around the website
  
• Added a drop shadow around the website
  
• Snow gone...for another year atleast

I have been messing around with various different logo styles, haven't yet got one which I'm happy with

Thanks for the input so far, I think the website looks better so far.
