    So, I have been working on developing this site for the passed 3 months! It is basically complete just a few pages to add here and there and some minor adjustments, other than that the user registration, user blogs, and user points system are all integrated! Anyway, my site is called FilmReelz.com - Reelin in Reviews! It is a movie database filled with articles, reviews, videos, blogs, and much more to come.

    What do you think?

    Not much to say, site looks nice!

    If I had one complaint, it would be the page navigation. I hate this: "Page 2 of 3 of 24 articles" (such a long text)

    Very nice site, smooth looking design, but site logo can be more web2.0 look, it would be good. Also than you want to search need to delete word "search", try to fix this bug.

    It looks good in general, however you could get rid of the border of the blue background behind latest titles, latets videos etc, it may look better. Or maybe just improve the border a bit to get a sleeker design. Also the logo doesn't look that good, sharpen the edge and work more on the text near the logo and it will look much better. One last thing is that you could get rid of the pattern on the grey pattern. Finally I would join goaxer to say that a web 2.0 touch would improve your design very much.
    Regards,

    Rep+ would be appreciated

    Firstly the "GO" icon near the search box isn't catchy.
    The "reelZ' part of the header is glared.
    You need to fix them up to have a great look.
    The fonts, colors selection is good.
    Finally, great structuring throughout the web page.

    I like it, informative, good information, and the facts are there, navigation seems fine, would suggest you may open more room for advertising perhaps. Very good domain too!

    Hi gehin08, you took only 3 months to come out with a website that looks like it came out of a big movie corporation? It looks like it has been done by one of those professional web design firms. Just a minor point... when I clicked a few links at "Latest Articles", the subsequent page is slightly wider than my monitor screen. Maybe you could take away the 18mm background on the left and it should fit well.

    Your site looks great. I would keep the background reel as it helps the visitor focus the attention on the middle content.

    The site definitely looks like you spent a lot of time on it. Did you use some open source CMS and edit it to make this, or did you create your own system?
