Hey guys, so I just recently redesigned the layout of my affiliate pages. Just wondering if you think it looks ok? Not too crowded? Easy to read/understand/navigate. Any suggestions or feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Here are the current and old layouts. The old layout isn't the same page but the layout use to look like that one.

Current Layout: WoW Professions - Warcraft Professions - WoW Profession Guides

Old Layout: WoW Leveling - WoW Leveling Guides

And also, can you tell me if you like my custom 404 page I made?

    I found the design and layout very easy to use. Everything was easy to find. Good Job.

    I like your site. It took a little while to load. I'd get rid of the social bookmark links at the top. They only show half an image anyway. I guess you need signups and you could make more of your login now button - perhaps tease them in with a freebie guide?

      Thanks for the advice. I've been wanting to get rid of them anyway and put them somewhere else. I think this design is better. What do you think?(If you remember the old one)

        My thoughts:

        1// I'm a BIG fan of custom 404 pages Good job on that one. Love the graphic. Hitting on page load time - are you optimizing your images?? I'm thinking no...that dragon image (deathwing...please don't hunt me down - I know you WoWers like to use the proper terminology LOL) is about 360KB...that's way over what it should be...that one can definitely be less than 50KB and still have decent quality - what about the rest?

        2// Something's not right with the menu? I feel it's lower than it should be? there's a gap at the top. If it's intentional, ok - I just find it awkward.

        3// the "LOGIN" part is messed up in my browser (FF).


        #2 and #3 look like they are only a factor in FireFox. I attached a cropped screenshot of what I see.


        All in all - I like it. Good work

          Excellent C&C. Though I can't really make out that screenshot it is tiny.

              I think it means critique and comment idk for sure though haha. I'm use to ac-web forums and their slang(they use it all the time). Anyway no I can't click on it, it won't load. But I saved it to my comp and tried scaling it with Photoshop but it was to blurry when scaled.

              Here's a screenshot I just took using FF did it look like this too you?

                Nope. Here is what I sent a different way...



                I have an older version of FF...I keep them a while because in web development you have to make sure things work a few versions back cause people just don't update their software. Well...the "everyday, common people" at least

                  Wow that looks horrible haha. I made a different style sheet for IE 8 and below but never really took into account older versions of other browsers. Thanks man, I'll fix that tmr.

    One thing about the 404 page. I would design it in a way that people don't need to scroll down. This page can be nice, but it needs to go straight to the point. Scrolling is for pages with interesting content. What would I scroll down to on an error page?
