First wordpress site

i should clarify, I do know what a sitemap is, but I’ve never done one, so I don’t really know how to set that up.

Maybe you can use an html object or similar for the automatic start of the video/audio. The visitor would be able to turn it off. You would have to upload the whole video to your server though.
Kind of this;

<object data=”data/test.mpg” type=”video/mpeg” width=”320″ height=”255″>
<param name=”src” value=”data/test.mpg”>
<param name=”autoplay” value=”false”>
<param name=”autoStart” value=”0″>
alt : test.mpg
</object>

I don′t know which background i′d prefer but the brown one works better than the previous for sure.
And again, i would give the Elkforge link a try as it destroys the nice header composition that you have.
Of course all this is subjetive, the site is ok. Let′s see how the new home page photos work.

The background color should be different. And it looks good but the picture in the upper right hand corner is kind of bothersome… something about the font doesn’t look professional.

Hi, for being your first site it looks very good. I would change the background color. I would use a white background.

I just changed the link ‘back to elkforge.com’. Unfortunately I need it there so that it links back to our main page, but I made it black and white and changed the font a little bit. I think it will blend in a little bit better with the rest of the header now.

The problem that I see with the header is that the main logo in the center and the link to the left side are too close to each other. I tried moving the logo over to the right about 40-50px but i couldn’t get it to work. Any suggestions? I think that would make it much less crowded.

About the background. What I would really prefer is a creme or off-white background with a nice simple texture, but I couldn’t find one that I really liked. I’d appreciate any suggestions on background textures that I could use to give it a little more visual appeal.

Thanks for all the input, it’s greatly appreciated.

Looks good to me

More fast suggestions. I made it fast but i would go more this way;

@kamogawa32, that looks really good. do you have the image of that which i can get from you. something like that may work a bit better for this page.

Thanks!

You have selected nice theme and your contents are useful.

@tonedru, i just made a screen print and played a bit with Photoshop with it. I don′t have any new background image, but you could edit yours easily playing with hues, lightness, etc…
As for the Elforge link, i made an edit with Photoshop too, but i don′t really know how would i make that link inside your theme. It was just a compositional suggestion.
My image is a low resolution one and i don′t think that sending you it is worth. You can download it from imageshack anyway.

You are welcome!
