My Website, coming soon.

Two for two Taylor.
I believe you are going for "Lightning Stripes".

"Lighting Stripes" are advertising tools.

Of course, I've been wrong before.
 
where to start?

-Shadows are pretty hard to do in HTML&CSS
-Your font is pretty big, I'd drop it a few sizes, Your H1 really shouldn't be much bigger then 16px
-What's going to happen to the right side of your site? just a big white bar?
-If your aiming at an NYC site, why not make it look & feel more NYC, beyond just a picture at the top.
-while talking about pictures, make sure you have the rights to use the picture you have used
-Sentence All-Caps is pretty hard to read, especially in larger paragraphs, I'd pick a font that has lower case as well as upper.
-What are links going to look like? Visited links? Blocks of text? Embedded Images?
- Do you really need a news ticker & a news box on the same page? For most sites one or the other is all your going to need, I doubt your gonna have so much large news items to warrant the need for a "proper" news ticker (aka one where you click on the news headline & it takes you to the article).
-Idk about others, but the 1st thought of when I saw the train at the bottom was "ATSF" not NYC. (and again, make sure you have the right s to use the images; if you made them, that's fine.)

it's a start...

I've tested the site, they are not text actually.

The little train picture is with the font I'm using.

And thanks for the tips.

The picture is a placeholder.

I agree, if it was grey, I may have thought NYC, but white streamliners is a SAnta Fe thing

After many hours and suggestions. Here it is.

Edit-I've been working on this too long. Link removed for a few moments.

Well, this time you've *THUMP! Hey, are you okay? Somebody call 911!
He's dead?

Man, I was going to say he did a good job... oh well...:eek:
 
well it looks much better... I can see where you'll still have some issues, but I think you'll find them as well as you start coding. I will say this, it's ALWAYS better to use text (and a websafe one for that matter) rather then images with words on them.

Yes, but I'm trying to go for a look that text cannot recreate. Don't worry,the News box will have normal text type.
 
Happy to see that you survived the night.

Site is looking good.

Questions:
Will downloads and forum require registration?

Will registration require user email account?

Will you detail how you will protect user email and other registration details?

How will you protect downloads from being hacked or infected with bad stuff?

Just some things for you to think about as you progress.

Regards,
Ron
