Please post your feedback on my site

My website is a simple algebra helping site that uses javascript to make Algebra a lot easier. Please feel free to look around and don't hesitate to post your feedback in the feedback section. Don't worry about making an account, it doesn't prompt you for any personal info, just a password and a username. Any suggestions would benefit! Thanks!

Although it seems as if the website itself is centralized on your school (with external links to sites your school uses), it's still a good resource for others looking to learn algebra. You have some good information and calculators.

A quick question - in the navigation area (with links to home, solvers, explanation, etc.), why is there a small X on the right-hand side of the button? I thought you would be able to do something with the X, but it appears as if it's just a graphic.

One quick suggestion, you might want to look into capitalizing your headings, like "Algebra Made Easy," "Home," "Explanation," and so on, for a more professional look.

And for further development, what I can suggest is to expand on the topics you cover, and to organize them a bit better. Other than that, nice job on the website!

Your font is hard to read at times ... the contrast between the font and the background isn't very great.

Also, if you're going to do a math website, eventually you probably want to learn how to post your math in a more-math friendly format. Unfortunately, my only experience is non-web. If you want professional looking math functions in a paper, I would try either Latex which is used to create .pdf files or Microsoft's Equation Editor. Hopefully, someone else responds with a more web-friendly alternative.

Web friendly math tool: I don't know! Maybe someone else does ...

Latex: Now, learning Latex is a lot of work but could impress your teachers with really professional looking papers. It also might be hard to translate to your website.

Equation Editor: Microsoft's Equation Editor (in MS Word, etc.) is easier to use for a single paper. However, getting it into a web-friendly format (screen capture or saveas .html) will probably be a real pain.

Probably your best alternative is to go look at really nice math websites and view their source and see what they're using to create professional looking math equations. It'll be a lot of work to get really nice looking math on your web ... but it'll be worth it in the end. And it's really necessary if you're looking to draw an audience from the general Internet population.

If you find something respond here, I'm curious. Or maybe another X10 user will do it for us.

The X (as I recently figured out what you were talking about) is part of the template. Its just part of the design, doesn't do much. Thank you so much for your feedback, and I'm glad you like my website!

I looked at one website and they capture .gif images of nice math equations and insert them into their website with regular HTML <img src="equation.gif" ...> syntax.

Doing this will be real tedious but I imagine a dedicated math website has looked for better options. They might be using a web IDE (integrated development environment) that writes their HTML code automatically ...

So you mean in the explanations section, right? The quadratic equation explanation has that.

You mean like dreamweaver?
