I decided to take the time and build an informative fan website dedicated to Rebor and their products!   I will update it periodically with news and new images.   Currently its loaded with photo galleries and details of all of their current products to date.  I hope you all enjoy browsing it as much as I enjoyed constructing it!



Unofficial REBOR Website

Personally i find Websites that use the same image in a tile fashion in the background anoying.

But the rest of it is well organized and i look forward to seeing it develop. I just hope Rebor does not mind it.

Thank you.  I emailed Rebor with a link and description.  Hopefully they will like it and approve.  I've seen fan sites for other companies.  For example, Movie Maniacs is still up and running despite the original McFarlane movie toy line being long since defunct.  That site has since broadened its scope to cover all horror and action collectibles.

As for a background...  What suggestions might you have?

Great Job! Although I would have used weebly instead of wix, it has a more rigid template that is easier to maneuver. As far as your website, the background should be either solid color, referring to the website's color scheme, or a scene background (picture of the outdoors, etc.) or a piece of the artwork REBOR has done. I would also suggest keeping the font for the entire site the same, or changing only the header fonts. I would suggest using photoshop to cut out the backgrounds of as many of the graphics you have used (if you do not know how to use photoshop than just pm me, and i will be glad to do it), and example would be the REBOR logo on the about page; either get rid of the second logo, or cut the black edges out and outline the circle with a black line so that it stands out against the transparent-white background. Same thing goes for the x-ray t-rex logo. I would suggest un-highlighting the words underneath every page and making the font readable without the highlight. Great job on the individual product pages, I really like your photography (I am assuming you took those yourself). As for the top menu bar, white on red is fine, but I think either thickening the font or changing the colors would make it better to read (white on black, etc.) (A bit off-topic, but I just realized why i don't like their utahraptor; it has hands bent in an odd position and then without the primaries it looks odd). Otherwise, you have a good site! I hope the company
OKs it!

Rebor gave its blessing and posted so on their Facebook!  The feedback has been very positive!   :)

As for the site suggestions, those are easy fixes.  I have to be selective on what images I used until after Rebor made a response.  But now, we know!   8)

With the exception of the teaser images located in my news section, all photos you see are mine. 

@PainterRex...  If you wish to tweak some of my logos, etc...  Please feel free.  I was using a very primitive and basic photo editor which limits what I can do.  Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

I will tinker with the site more this week.  Keep the ideas/suggestions coming!   :)

Will do sir and thank you!   ;)


I made some visual adjustments.  Still haven't decided what to do about the tile-style background yet.  However, its not as prominent on every page of the site anymore.

For the background, I would suggest keeping it one color, since the picture you used is vertical it looks off on some pages, and the main part of the image is hidden in nearly every page. Either a solid color, a generic nature background, or a black skeletal.

Thanks! I try to keep them updated, eventually I will be done with my encyclopedia sites as well. On the topic of logos, I don't see anything wrong with anything on your site so far, if there is anything in particular you would like me to edit (make specific logos, sharpen/reshape already made ones, etc.) just let me know!

Thank you again PainterRex.  You inspired the improvements and gave me some cool ideas.  If you could round some of the logos for me, that would be great!  Again, I was using a primitive editor but it only somewhat gets the job done.  Thanks for everything so far!
