New Website!!!

[Mermaid Stark]

EEK! I'm so psyched! I just finished up making The Sea Girls official website! We're gonna have a store, but we have to wait until I move back to the U.S to set it up. I'm just really happy that we finally did it!
I just need some advice on what we need to improve. Is there anything that you would like to add? Any suggestions on new pages? If you give us an idea, we'll be sure to give you the credit for it. :)

Here's the link if you want to check it out: http://the-sea-girls.webs.com

It's basically a site for merlings, but really anyone can join. :)

Looks nice so far!

A couple of points I'd make:

- The bright blue of the logo and the title text is a little jarring. I'd probably change it to white/black, or some other colour that compliments the background or the image of the mermaids.
- The background is nice, but there's something about a repeating image that's just not as nice as a large one. If you can find a super big image that will fit across most large screens, or maybe a seamless repeating pattern, I think it'd look better.
- On the videos page, the three columns extend outside the line on the right hand side. It looks a little odd.
- I don't see any credit for the photos in the "tails and powers" page. Unless I've missed it, that's something you need to add.
- Having "sirens" then "store" then "selkies" seems split up. I'd put "store" at the end and keep the other two informative pages next to each other.
- Having a "members" page where you can join seems a bit redundant if there's no where to post as a member. Will you add a forum?

Good job so far!

Thanks! Good point, I'll fix those things and add a forum. Thanks for the pointers!

[Mermaid Kelda]

No worries! Congrats on getting a website up and running, it's more than I can say for myself xD

[Mermaid Stark]

Haha! Thanks! I couldn't seem to fix the video thing, but I fixed everything else and gave credits to the mers in the images. :)

Oh, and it wouldn't let me make the background one big image. :(

Darn, that's annoying. Maybe use a pattern instead? Sites like DinPattern.com have lots of really nice ones, I'm sure you could find something ocean-y. But the image you have is pretty, so stick with that if you want to!

Wow that looks great! Good for you! :D The background change is a good idea, but other than that awesome! :D

[Mermaid Stark]

Thanks! Yeah, I'm gonna try and figure out how to change the background...
