New Website LittleBigBuilders.com

Archive: 54 posts


I made a website called LittleBigBuilders and you can find it at littlebigbuilders.webs.com. It's still in the beta stage so please remember that. But I do want criticism so my website can be better and better. Thanks for the time.

How do you get the "Master of the Internets" pin?

BIG NEWS: website can now be found at http://littlebigbuilders.webstarts.com/index.html

I like the website and at first I didn't like the banner, thought it should have something to do with LBP, but it grew on me and I think it looks cool. I hope it grows2011-04-22 20:33:00

I see you're on a nice start there. Careful though, your background seems to be a bit "heavy". It took me a short time to see it entirely. Maybe optimizing the background-image file will help. Getting everything to fit together could help to ease the eye too. At first, I wasn't sure where to look at.

Good job nonetheless

You probably entered "littlebigbuilders.webs.com." into the address bar, Note the "." at the end. I accidentally did that and it sent me to the Webs homepage, so I assume you did the same?


I see you're on a nice start there. Careful though, your background seems to be a bit "heavy". It took me a short time to see it entirely. Maybe optimizing the background-image file will help. This is good advice.


But I do want criticism so my website can be better and better. Thanks for the time.

Unless someone is already intending to go specifically to your site, most visitors will spend only a few seconds deciding whether or not to continue looking at the site. So, here's a list of things that stood out instantly to me.

-"LittleBigBuilders" "We Make Creations"
The text you've used is pretty plain and boring looking tbh.
And imo redundant, we don't need to read it once then read it again directly underneath, I think you could do fine removing it completely.

-The Banner.
I think it needs some work. Widen it a bit so it spans the whole width of the page, this alone will really tidy up the look of the site.
In keeping with the idea of my first suggestion, you'd need to play with the text a bit. As it stands, the text is a bit hard to read. Try making it thicker, straightening it or using a less stylised font.

-Background Image
This might just be me, but, tiled bg images really irk me. Unless it's a well made texture. I'd suggest at least playing around with other, non-tiling bg images.

-Colour Scheme
Try to get a more defined color scheme going, it's a bit all over the place atm.

-Bandwidth
This is a big one, assuming you've created this using the free version, if you're paying then obviously this doesn't matter.
With the free account you get 100MB of bandwidth, which is... bugger all to be frank. You start getting any sort of decent traffic and that bandwidth will be used up in no time at all. You're packing a lot into one site; Home, News, Photos, Members, Discussion Forum, Links, LittleBigVideos. I think you're site would work best if you'd forgo the Discussion Forum, Members and LittleBigVideos, and then leave it as a blog. This would still allow community involvement but would make for a much easier to run site as well as much more lean (for lack of a better word) site.

As a suggestion.
Use Webs to create you're site but host it from a Dropbox account. Dropbox will give (for free) 2GB of storage and 10GB of bandwidth compared to the 40MB of storage and 100MB of bandwidth you get free from Webs.



As a last note, I hope this doesn't come off too critical sounding. Good luck with the site

In about a week I'm going to start up creator interviews for LittleBigBuilders (littlebigbuilders.webs.com). I was wondering if anyone would be intersted in being interviewed. You will get interviewed in a week so that give you enough time to build some, me time to set the page up for it, and time for PSN servers to get back up and running.

Thanks for your time,

You would have to build the site in webs, copy the source code and save it as a html file, put that into the "Public" folder of Dropbox. There's a bit more involved such as changing where hyperlinks link to, changing images, and possibly some other things. It's not exactly a straight forward, or easy, proccess, but, if you're up for a challenge it would be a great learning experience.

Another option I forgot to put in my last post is, to look around for alternatives to webs. There's loads of them around and the all offer different things for free.

Just so you know creating a free website on webs and instantly expecting a "Master of the Internets Pin" isn't going to work.
If that was the case lots more people would have them.

I suggest makeing the site directory banner (home, news etc.) smaller and thinner, and try to establish a nice layout; to me everything feels scattered about. but nice job so far.2011-07-10 18:49:00
