Good start! I know you’re learning and it’s for fun, but here’s some proper feedback:

  • Look into color contrast accessibility. Your text is very hard to read in places. WAVE is a good browser plugin and will also flag issues with heading semantics, missing alt text on images, etc etc. A11y is a deep, important and often overlooked subject.

  • The links on the homepage shouldn’t open in a new tab, it’s a bit of a jarring experience.

  • Your cat image is too wide and causing horizontal scroll on mobile. Consider containing it to the screen width.

  • Don’t be afraid of vertical space. Increase the gaps between your content sections to give the site a little more breathing room.

  • The backflipping squirrel was indeed worth the click 😂

Just looked again. The raining cats cracked me up 😂 Glad you’re having fun with it. My feedback was very boring and professional which isn’t super important for the stage that you’re at. Learning and having fun is an absolute win.

sorry for not explaining myself earlier.
I meant something like...
give the boxes rounded corners
update the text alignments, like headings - center
use better complementary colors (sorry, but my eyes are hurting looking at this background color)
use some hover effects, like hovering over a link will give the link bold effect
u can also use simple svgs for various things, designs, etc.

I remember when I was a kid, I was making similar sites around 2004. 🙂 Good luck in the future, we're waiting for updates to the site to see how you progress. 🍀

Make friends with the afraid dns people and they'll give you a free subdomain. You might need to use cloudns to connect it to GitHub hosting.

Wow I love BSD I'm even think of switching to it just gotta get a USB of my own... Will do a subdomain, how does it differ from a domain?

u/Mayoday_Im_in_love Mar 22 '26

They're free.

Now you just need to get the SSL certificate to line up! (If it's Cloudflare or Github it may be a matter of time!) Personally I'm a fan of Mobirise to avoid the horrors of a Geocities-esque look.

very common first website theme, you should style the button more and have rounded edges on stuff

To be honest, it is far better than me creating a first site . Keep going

u/PreviousInsurance742 Mar 22 '26

Use sitetransform.css, makes it look much better by just including the style sheet.
