    I made this template yesterday, the sub pages are not yet done but the layout of the homepage is finished. Let me know what you think of it http://www.santasglobe.com/

    Thanks :)

    Hello Scott.

    Excellent template. Very clean and will attract the attention you deserve. Even though the header is quite large... I think it will still do!

    I think a contact button would be good. I'm certain that there will be people interested in contact you or who ever owns the site... for more information!

    The email form could be touched up a little. Maybe to be placed within an image that goes with the site...

    other than that... A++++

    Will you be putting content in? or selling the template?
    Respectfully.
    Lhlalyam

    P.S. Great domain name too!

    Thanks for the feedback. I may sell the website if I get a good offer for it. I would be looking for $200-300.00 for the template, domain, psd file, all page files which will be xhtml validated.

    The tell a friend email form will be fixed up some, I just haven't got past the homepage yet because I started on the project yesterday, I plan to have it completely finished by Wednesday.

    The graphics are stunning! Excellent work, very professional.

    I'm not sure how the site owner would make money off the site. It seems a bit general in nature and may be difficult to attract visitors. Maybe flash games? I guess the buyer would hopefully have something in mind.

    Not sure either, I suppose google adsense and affiliates related to christmas. I am developing a trivia game and e-card script for the site so it has some nice features to go along with the content.

    Thanks for the feedback guys!

    Definitely looks great! The tough thing will be to add adsense or anything to it without ruining the nice look.

    The graphics and site are so cute.

    I don't think adsense would ruin the look of your site. I think you could have nice one lined links of adsense above "browse" extending vertically out. You can have them blend in your with your sites overall look and feel pretty easily.

    I'm really interested in seeing what you plan to do with this site. Awesome job so far.

    The site is now complete. I'll be selling it shortly most likely. Thanks for all of the reviews so far.

    Nice layout! Idea from me, maybe add a kind of Christmas wishlist/letter which kids can write Santa Claus a letter and it send it off. I'm pretty sure someone has does that already, but for kids it would be awesome!

    Very nice website!

    It seems a very good website, it has a lot of potential in my eyes and you can create a whole range of different categories such as present ideas, a forum for people to post ideas, talk about Christmas and so on.

    Personally I like the way you have not placed any Ad-sense on it. It can ruin some website and I think it may do with this one, but otherwise it's a very neat website that is sure to become popular over the winter.

    Good domain too

    (Sorry if my review is rubbish, I'm not really the best person in the world to be doing this)

    rambo: It's an elf. They're the "helpers" in Santa's workshop who make the toys. :p

    Scott Botkins: What did you make the graphics with?

    You made the characters in Photoshop? That's impressive. I figured you used a program like Blender to create those.
