[QUOTE="WingedLiberty, post: 1209578, member: 26030"]I just finished the first-draft of my Coin Collection website called "The Color Of Money" -- basically highlighing my interest in colorfully-toned coins -- and I am looking for feedback. I know I will probably get complaints about the font size being too small, however I didnt want the text to take up so much space -- and wanted to coins themselves to be the "stars" and not the words. I figured poeple could always increase the text size in their browser option if they couldnt read stuff. Also I imagine I might get some grief for posting two of Daniel Carr's overstrike coins, the 1964-D Peace and 1975 Ike. Problem is I have been unable to find any beautifully toned version of either coin -- and I thought the overstrikes did at least present a near perfect MS68 or so version of each type and a somewhat interesting story -- but anyway no color on those, sorry. Still I know that the purists will balk. I provided a side-by-side view of all my toned coins at their actual size (for anyone displaying at the 96dpi standard) -- in the format of a navigation bar at the top. I think it's cool to see all the coins in a single view -- allowing a better sense of their relative sizes. You can click on those true-to-life sized coins at the top of the page to jump futher down the page to see the medium zoomed view of each coin -- or simply scroll down the page manually. Also you can click any of the medium zoomed coin images further page to load an even larger version of the coin in a pop-up window. Note this is just 1 long page, not multiple pages. I thought about splitting it into multiple pages, but then I think there would be too many short pages -- and I think the site would be more difficult to navigate. Impressions? Thoughts? How can this be improved? [URL="https://mindstar.com/coins"][COLOR=#ff0000]https://mindstar.com/coins[/COLOR][/URL] [ATTACH]127896.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
