Hey,
a bunch of you guys helped me earlier with my website, LoseItNDiet.com - Bringing You The Best Health Offers and Reviews Across The WEB!
in, Shitty Conversions..

I just redesigned it, changed the entire layout, better color scheme, and made it a lot nicer. Should I continue with this affiliate website, or redesign it, I think it has potential.

This site will be used as an affiliate site only, so that's it's only purpose.

I would like opinions on everything, and what can be changed.

thanks a lot.

I'm not sure what's going on, but your main body is empty for me. bodybg is just filled with a ton of BR tags. I turned off my adblock and that didn't matter... is it just me? Using firefox in linux.

The header looks cool. I'm guessing you're trying to use some sort of javascript when I click these links the body should change? Not sure if that's the best way to go, and it's not working for me anyway. I'd have individual pages for each of those... less confusing to the search engines too

It's just a placeholder (I think). Next time, fill it with Lorem Ipsum text. Lorem Ipsum - All the facts - Lipsum generator Or not, doesn't really matter I guess.

Much better design, BTW, very clean. The header is nice, very nice, but it's creepin' me out and I can't figure out why... Oh well, no biggie. Keep up the good work.

It may be the girl who is in grey scale - she looks a little ghostly (on top of a faded green which represents the earth and life) and with the letters on the top appearing to be showing through shredded paper, adds to a gravely atmosphere....

The actual layout, seems fine. Why not try this:

1) make the chick full color

2) Don't make the letters on top appear through ripped paper

3) the images for the fonts in the header and footer look too compressed (blurry) - I see they're .png format... make them .jpg (but high resolution) or a less compressed .png version and use a brighter tone of green -- so it looks more vibrant and alive.

just an opinion.

Halloween is over bro. Lighten/brighten that shit up. Mixing black with dark green doesn't convey 'healthy'. Visualize how mold looks like and you'll understand what I mean.

Other than that, solid layout.

#1 I would recommend learning <div></div> + css instead of <table></table>.
#2 If you still end up using tables, don't mix percentage and fixed sizing.
#3 Some of your tags are deprecated.
#4 Meta keywords, 25... really?

Point you in the right direction, now go research.

thanks for the tips/advice.
I'll be sure to change some things around.
and there is no content on the site yet, this is just the design I got setup, I wanted some advice before I continued.

If you viewed my site before I posted this, try refreshing your cache, it shouldn't be black and green anymore, it's white, gray and green now.

Hey,

Just want to throw you a quick design tip.

When you are using dark colors, like black, or dark green (like in your design) - don't use "shadows" - it makes the appearance hazy looking.

Use shadows on bright colors (white, yellow, green - lighter tones) - on dark colors use a lighter color as a glow, if ya want to. Do the reverse of what the base color is - the secondary color will highlight the primary color tone.

Instead of using the gray for the background color, try a very light green - to accent the more bold green you are using for the font. Try this color (instead of the gray) #E3FCE4

And don't use shadows at all. For the fonts use the bold green which you used for the horizontal line rule under the header. (but keep the black you used for the text links)

For the "Best offer on the web" text at the top, try using a darker green like: #003300 - instead of black.

Now you have 3 tones of green going on. Green is a great color to represent "freshness and life" this should make your page jump out more.

And make the girl full color.

anyway, worth a test to see how you like it. (gray is to dreary for health)

cheers

Looks alot better than the old site, but i agree it looks kind of washed out.
Sure green is associated with health, but i would avoid grey, especially on people!
Try using a color pallet from kuler:

kuler

health food store looks like a decent one, but have a play and see what you find.

changed some of it for ya.
I didn't change the gray background, i thought it looked kinda gay with that green, so i made it the main bg color.

Whoa, fucked up. consult a graphics artist. You're right, looks like shit, dude.
