Hello, I recently decided to venture into the gaming spectrum. As I do not like busy/complicated templates/themes or sites full of adds I decided to keep this design as simple as possible aka KISS concept (keep it simple stupid) Pretty much if a sponsor comes into play - their ad will be added to the rotating image under the header. What I would like is a review of the layout - is it workable? any changes? what do you like or dislike and any advice. Site: www.clanladder.net Thanks in advance!
The page layout is nice but the links in the navigation of the site in the left column would be more legible if you changed the color to white.
thanks +rep Sarirejo - As far as what it is about - pretty general and straight to the point. it targets the niche of competition and gamers. aka Ladder.
Nice site and good combination of colours. The page layout is good, You may want to add a copyright in the footer and site map. And a fav icon maybe ? Best of luck with the site! Kind Regards
Nice looking site and layout. Good choice of colors and I think it has a lot of potential. Sending you a PM too btw!
Great design. Nice and easy to navigate. However would prefer for main header to be linked to your index. Not the sliding pics. Also should change site title. Can you delete the powered by 00webhost? Anyway nice site. Cheers
Nice work! My only real complaint is with your header, I find it hard to read (though I'm old and it might be me)(lol) with the muti-stamp. Outside of that I give 2 thumbs up! Best of Luck
Nice site you got... but i cant seem to see clearly on the navigation bar.. i suggest you add a little bright colors on the text. Overall did pretty nice job! Regards, Anton
Here is my review: 1) A nice idea/niche selection and can be very profitable once your forum flourishes 2) You have got a very targeted website name which is too good. 3) The template and Logo is pretty much like other gaming sites and has the feel of gaming so no problems with that. 4) I see you have added casual ( in a conversational manner) content to your site which is fine but you can also add a formal introduction relating what actually your site is about.(That can also be helpful in your SEO efforts if you include some related keywords in that introductory article.) 5) The font size is pretty small and its little bit hard to read the text on the index page. My 2 cents
Here is my review of your site. Theme: Your theme is very eye catching and very related to your sites niche, i must say that i really like the theme (i have a gamer background). Content: your content is very good, and i think very valuable for your targeted visitors. well done on this site, thats all i can say. Here are some of your site stats: Google Pagerank: 0 Alexa Rank: 0 Technorati Rank: 0 Listed in Digg: 0 DMOZ: Not Listed Link Popularity Google Backlinks: 0 Yahoo Inlinks: 105 Altavista Links: 107 AllTheWeb Links: 107 .gov backlinks: 0 .edu backlinks: 0 Pages Indexed Google Indexed: 0 Yahoo Indexed: 0 MSN Indexed: 0 I hope you found this information usefull, if so, please leave a review on my blog, the thread can be found here. if you have any questions then please leave a reply and i will be more then happy to answer them.
Great reviews. +Rep I apprecaite the constructive feedback I haven't made any changes yet as I am waiting on other reviews from my friends at ps3vault to give me a review as well - also future affiliate. I've been in contact with several big forums that focus on gaming and working on affiliation options. Until all the details are worked out I don't want to make any big changes until I am ready to go public with this venture. As per my business model, too put it nicely, its still in a draft / freeflow concept I see there is a lot of complaints about the header - That will be a full redo shortly. as per powered by 00webhost - they are providing free hosting at the moment - ethically I should have it there until I switch it over to another account. Next Projects: - SEO - Header Change - Font / Left menu - Adding substance to the forum & main page + game review blogs possibly as a branch off - Release business model and mission/about statements publicly - Affiliate Should something be added to this? As I said before I am not going to impliament anything until most of the affiliates get back to me on what they want in terms of sponsoring and other areas. PS. I am looking for a partner or 2 to help out
I must say - VERY nice theme on both the site and froum. The colors are also very nice. You need a link in the forum navbar back to the home page. The forum is getting a LOT of spam. You might want to install ReCaptcha modification to stop the spam bots from signing up. It looks like the ladders have stopped being updated. Overall, it looks like the site was a good concept, but has died off. I am not seeing where anything has been updated in a long time.
I would recommend you making the title of your site larger and to stand out more. It looks a little cluttered within that header. Other than that, your site looks like what a typical gamer site should look like.
