Some updating happening.
See here. A new comment system I want to try. Please test it out? Offer thoughts? Note anything that is going badly? I have left the SJ comment system in place just in case.
Rearranged a few items around the page.
How is this reading experience?
Do things load at an ok speed?
This poll helps me decide to leave the current page as the main page. The only problem with that is also fitting everything else on to the page.
Do you find the bar on the right with book, rss, and ad space to be distracting? Or acceptable?
Of all web comic layouts I've ever seen, my favorite is
Templar AZ's layout, except that if I were to copy it, I would like to put more art in the header. But it is so clean and to the point!
I could reorganize mine to be inspired by that, however, there would be that top leader board ad instead of the side tower ad. How would you feel about that?
Thank you all for the feedback. T_T;;; I feel like I've spammed DA recently, but I really would appreciate the help.
EK managed to get a good balance going by putting a series of related links on one side and the advertisements on the other.
I really like the general layout and the color scheme you chose for this though. I also like the comment system :3
I really like the striped background and color choices. And I'm sure by now you know how much I love the story X3
Hope my critique helps you!
Amusingly, I had the extra content bar on the left up until yesterday, when I decided to switch it to the right because that would make the comic page load first of all the content + visual hierarchy makes it the most important object on the page.
I agree though that it looks oddly right heavy. I thought it was just my eye adjusting to the change.
:/ Not sure what to do about it though besides put it back on the left, which I don't want to do.
Kay! That's what I see when I go to the site(minus my little add-ons of course
1. This solid blue going across only the right side makes it very right heavy. Maybe if you made it go all the way across or faded it like the other side it wouldn't weigh down the right so bad and you could leave the content bar on the right so that the comic still loads first?
2, 3, 4, and 5 are all the different alignments I see at the top of the screen. And they all look left aligned, which is okay, but nothing lines up with anything else, somewhat unbalancing the page.
I hope I don't come off rude XD; just trying to help! Graphic design is one of my favorite things c:
BUT some of it could be explained by my resolution or OS. I don't know what OS you use or what resolution your screen is, so you might see something completely different i dunno
