Review of Bug
A new review of my comic strip is online. It’s on a site called Coyote Trax that reviews webcomics. You can find it here.
I’m really blown away from all the positive feedback I’ve received in the past month. I just want to say thank you to all you guys out there. It really means a lot to me.
‘Course, the problem with all this is that I’m not done with the website design quite yet and new people keep showing up. I’ve compared the situation I’m in to having a dinner party. Imagine that your house is a disaster and suddenly tons of people start showing up early for the party. Right now I’m scrambling, trying to “pretty-up” my site for the new guests.
I’ve decided, in the interest of speed, to just pay someone to design my site for me. I’ve already drawn up the blueprint but lemme know if there’s something specific you guys would like (or not like) to see.
Your comic is well-made and enjoyable. I'm not surprised it's getting a great reception.
As for the web design, I would *not* like to see anything fancy. No bright colors, no snazzy-looking widgets, etc., since your comic is pleasantly minimalist. In fact, I liked the small-text navigation buttons better than the current CP 2.9 large shiny buttons. Maybe just do small arrows? The header is perfect. At least don't change that.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the compliment!
Yeah, I don't like the graphic navigation buttons either but I want to get the navigation out of the blog are and underneath the comic, where it belongs. It'll change soon enough.
You certainly deserve the positive feedback you're getting. It's really difficult to be consistently funny five days a week, and you are consistently funny in 3 or 4 PANELS five days a week. Impressive.
As for the design, I'm right with Dan in believing the simplicity of the site works well with the pleasing simplicity of your comic's style. I too love the header as is. Beyond customizing the navigation buttons, adding content to the sidebars, and adding bonus content (pages) along the menu bar, I don't think the site needs a whole lot more. Your comic is so perfect, I'd hate to see it overwhelmed by bells and whistles. Just my humble opinion.
Hey,
I've been fluctuating on whether to say this, but I, too, hate those big nav. buttons. Hate. Them. I also really like how simple your site is… I agree with Capt'n Scratchy about hating to see it overwhelmed. Just my two cents.
Hi.
I really enjoy your work. Funny, clean lines, good timing. I look forward to many years of laughs, but no pressure, eh? 😛
I like the clean look of the site. It works well with the look of the comic. I don't think it needs too much change at all.
Thanks for sharing 🙂
