Prisim Animations - Feedback

What do you think about the website so far? I coded everything by hand and am proud of what it has become, but for the landing page specifically, I feel like something is missing.

Things I would like to keep:
-The newest animations and comics: It's the most important part of the site

  • The beginner help section: The design could use some work, but having it like that shows what we have to offer rather than having to enter a rabbit hole to find it.

I hand-coded everything on the site, but I'm not the best designer, so let me know what you think. I'm still in high school and this is a learning curve for me :D

    Avery,

    I'm glad you are proud of what you have achieved as I am sure this has been a big effort and no doubt you have learned an amazing amount in the process.

    Not sure what stack you are using but with the comment "coded everything by hand" perhaps it is all done in php. To progress I suggest looking at frameworks like React or Vuejs. These provide a more modern way to develop sites and both provide a more modular approach - something that is critical as a site grows, otherwise everything becomes entangled and the maintenance curve goes exponential.

    The name and tagline for your site is a bit confusing. I expected prism (not prisim) and the tagline suggested there would be a tool to help me create animations easily. In fact it seems your site is more of a collection of animations and tools and advice. Which is all dandy but not what I expected from the tagline.

    I hope this helps a little.

      Thanks for the advice, I plan on adding and am currently designing things to make animation easier and learning laravel, I just wanted to fix the design up a bit before I go hard on those things. The site is for learning how to create and posting animations (and digital art). Do you have any suggestions on a better way to convey this, I'm not great at coming up with things like this?
