    Hey all, just after some reviews/constructive criticism of my news website. I'm running joomla CMS with the standard milkway template, though considering a redesign in the future.

    Thanks guys

    The logo is the part that needs the most work. The layout is joomla style so it's cool -- the site needs work and needs a custom theme - possibly look at the themes around the web. PM me if you need suggestions

    You need new logo and favicon. And the ad unit on the right of your article should be shifted to the left, if possible for better CTR. I totally failed to even notice it the first time. The ad unit below article is superb tactic.

    I've moved the ads to the left and decreased the size, thoughts on the look now?

    nice site, you might want to put a very light gray line at the bottom of your site where you start having the 2 columns of news. To split it up.

    good site, you need to improvise more to attract more traffic. Nice lay out and design though. Are guests allowed to post news on your site?

    At the moment contributions are by registered members, I'll have to look for a plugin/component that allows guests to post too.

    Thanks for the feedback everyone, I'll try get a logo organised in the near future

    Nice site but you have to review your logo. I mean , you have to create a logo that is so very attractive to everyone.
