Site Name: ZonePlace Site URL: www.forums.zoneplace.net Description: ZonePlace is a fairly new discussion forum based on the General and Entertainment Sector. We cater to those in need of a place to express their thoughts and opinions on virtually anything. One of our growing sections is our articles. We hope that we can provide an area where different users can create more elaborate posts and find an audience that shares the same interests and opinions. There are other features to our site such as the arcade and downloads section that we hope will interest other users. I realize that the site still needs work and is rough around the edges (which we are working on), but if you can give suggestions and whatnot that would be a great help.
Hello. I think that your site would look better if the header was shorter, and if the actual content was closer to the top of the page. Maybe you could move the notice section to a side bar, so that it doesn't take up so much premium real estate as well. One last thing. I think you should combine your menus (register, zoneplace, forums, etc...) into one, and move the donate and facebook buttons to a side bar. They are taking up way too much space. I think your site would look great if you just clean up those items a little. Good luck! -Peter
Overall it's a good start and it's fine, I don't want you to think I'm being mean listing a load of stuff, but you did ask for feedback The main problem that hit me straight away is that there are just too many blues. The shades of the background and header images clash with each other, then you have the light blue menus and the bright blue links on top of that. I'd also stop your background image from tiling vertically as there's a really obvious line whenever it does, nothing wrong with just having the image at the top and turning it into solid colour further down. Personally I'd change that image altogether to match the colours of the header. The forum header text is spaced weirdly, needs the line-height sorting I think. The arcade section is cool, though on some listings (see "Ace Invaders") the text is squished up against the left side of the white box. The tabs on this page are also unreadable as they're blue on blue links. That's about all I can see with a cursory glance, none of them are dealbreakers but every small improvement helps the whole thing look more professional
Thanks a bunch for the feedback! Definitely know what you're saying, so I'll look into the whole "blue problem"
base on my oppinion, it's nice if the url is hxxp://forums.zoneplace.net not hxxp://www.forums.zoneplace.net/forum.php
