Hey, First of all I want to say thanks to all you DP'ers for helping me (newbie/non-webguy/acupuncturist) along the way over the past few months. When I first learned about directories I decided to use the free template sponsors for a few months to make sure this is what I want to do and that I am able to do it. I love it! So I decided to kick it up a BIG notch and just got a customized unique look for my TCM Directory. Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine resources. TCM= Traditional Chinese Medicine. Any comments or constructive criticism is appreciated and I am sure I will call on DP more in the future for further advice. Thank you!
At first i thought they were 3 links in your #1 post looks excellent and gives the feel of the theme of the website.
Serg did a fantastic job on it. It's great! See if Serg can get things more flawlessly flowing in the footer when: ex. http://www.tcmdirectory.com/index.php?x=0&y=0&search=directory (it's not perfectly aligned.) I can honestly say that I immediately looked for a web directories category to submit
Thank you very much guys! Yes, aspidov designed it. Britishguy knew but how did everyone else know? I was going to reveal the designer after a few guesses since I noticed on other posts some of you can figure it out just by looking. Very impressive (unless you knew)
Very good design. I particularly like http://www.tcmdirectory.com/about.php where you say: It's good to see that much experience in a topic brought together in a directory.
a very good looking design .. maybe need to work on the news letter ... it ruins the look ... make it more customized to the design .. overall a very good design
Great looking site! It does take a bit long to load. Just a suggestion...It might be a good idea to have the main content area background have a tan/beige background - that way the subcategories would be readable before the scroll background loads.
@Obelia Thank you very much! @smub Good point. Thank you. I thought of that as well. I am using constant contact and I think that was the best I was able to do with their color scheme but I will look again. @MeetHere I know I have with your sites! I don't know much about this stuff, but I think BQTM is influencing my rankings pretty well. @anon Thanks. At one point I was actually thinking of a way to add a web directory section but I couldn't with this tight niche. I decided I need to keep my categories as relevant as possible even if I lose out on possible submissions. I'm glad I'm in your dump though @syted & YMC Thanks for that. On my computers it loads pretty fast (normal) but I will check that out since if 2 people are saying it then I'm sure it's slow for others as well. Thanks to all the other comments as well! Now I have to see if I can get to the top of Google with those keywords even though I am facing "Monster" sites with 7-10 years over my 6 month site. Thanks!
