    Cheepmom.com is a site for frugal work at home mom's. Please check through the site and let me know what you think needs improved. This should be a user friendly, social site. It's my 1st attempt at Joomla. I do realize it needs more content but the design and the flow are what I'm unsure of.

    Very nice, but it seems that there is little text, you're able to index it properly?
    Perhaps the background is too dark.

    Nice site indeed. I was kinda expecting a busy pink design:) A few recommendations though:
    The scrolling is slightly slow in firefox.
    The twitter and facebook images look stretched and pixellated.

    Other than that, the site and the design look great.

    No, not hindu. Slang for work at home mom. Seofast, I stated there wasn't much content yet. I'm working on that. I'm glad you were pleased Napoleon. I changed the social icons and will work on the scrolling. I noticed that too but thought my pc was just slow.

    great site, but is that the way the navigation button should work.
    clicking on them they scroll,but shouldn't they be taking you somewhere.
    Love the concept though, we need more site that.
    it would be good were you have a topic page where moms can go to and share experiences and ideas

    There's a forum to share experience. The navigation is on the right. If you click the scrolling pictures, it will take you to a section. The tabs just change the picture. Is that to confusing?

    Barbara, sorry if i had offended you, but i am aware of the navigation on the right.
    You ask us to check the site to see what needs improving.
    but let me explain more. if you click the tab the picture scrolls, just the picture changes,but why not the whole page change.
    You are asking for opinions here, if i click on the tab it would be good if the page change as well.
    if we give our opinion it don't mean you should change everything that we say.

    They are called featured content sliders, they're used to convey the most important information with eyecandy.

    I think it looks great! I'll keep checking back to see the new content.

    No offense taken Ochi. :) I was asking honestly, not sarcastically. I don't want anyone to be confused. If you were to click the tab and go to another page, you would never get to see the pictures in the other tabs. kwim? I appreciate you bringing it up. I guess if people seem to get confused about it, I will just remove it all together. Thanks for your input Kecia.

    The site looks clean and distinctive, but is there a reason you did not get the actual spelling cheap instead of cheep? I understand the play on words with the bird logo and all, but it seems like you will always be telling people how it is spelled and it may be harder to rank for a term people will not be searching for.

    Because it's taken. I would think it wouldn't make that huge of a difference since all marketing will be done online and they'll just be clicking links to get there.

    I am truly impressed by this site. It's well organized, accessible and easily navigated by you. It's set up for readers - yes! But more impressive still is the content and the overall theme. This is a five star site that I highly recommend. Hopefully, I will be able to make the time to visit it again and again. Cheers :)
