    Hi there.
    I'm making my site slowly but surely, over the next few days i should have a full design ready. Currently I'm still working with my team of developers on the sites script.

    We created the logo, which reviews were located at this thread: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=554601

    We now have started on a header, please let me know what you think.

    [​IMG]

    This site is a new social networking site which my company has acquired over the last few months, we have been working on the script. This social networking site as the slogan suggests "What more do you want" is for everyone, bloggers, vloggers, web designers, graphic designers, film directors, musicians ect..

    Business networking, social networking, social bookmarking ect..

    Hope you like the header, please give comments and suggestions.

    Regards

    Chiouegi

    As of now looks good!

    But, see to that you don't over use both these colors. These two colors are like contrast colors and if you understand the limitations of using this color it will be attractive for the visitor or else it might turn out to be a bit overdose.

    I think you have changed the logo as well. I preferred the second one and this is different from that. That's ok.. even this looks good! No issues!

    Thanks everyone, i know the colors are 2 that i try'd and they seemed to work well. I still have the whole rest of the site to design so still a lot of work. There will be more buttons in the navigation and obviously with this just being the basics of the header, there will be content as well.

    Great colors. Vibrant and exciting. Oranges and light blues work well together. The NAV bar looks good too, you didn't overdo it with your color scheme. Looks promising mate. Keep up the great work.

    The logo is great, but i am not so sure about that tag line "what more do you want?" Looks very unimaginative to me.

    Yeah my ex-girlfriend thought of that about 2 years ago when i started this project, i'm only just getting round to starting the design now, its been 8 months of hard core programming, all the time before that i was researching. I actually went ahead and trademarked that tagline, i had to buy it off a 70+ year old guy from Nevada who had it for his Hotrods business back in the 50's/60's haha, but its myne now!

    I didnt like it at first 'the tagline' and nor do i like it any more since she turned down my proposal of marriage haha! Anyway, it does suit the site quite well since its a "Social networking, business networking, social bookmarking, video sharing, photo sharing, live chat and IM, news portal ect.. site"

    The site is literally cramped with features.

    -- Thanks everyone else for the comments, its very helpfull!

    yeah i will do, i mean iv just started the design now since the main priority was the PHP/Ruby on rails and AJAX script. I'm designing the interface for the AJAX chat and IM at the moment and they will be the next mock ups i will post for review. By the way this social networking site has many options you can choose for your profile, each one you select giving different options e.g; designer giving a portfolio option where designers can post images of there designs weather it be web design, graphic design. They can also list prices if they are freelance designers. Also for e.g; photographer giving multiple gallery options to upload there photos (like flickr) everything can be embedded into a site by HTML copy and paste too. There is also film maker options for people who make short films ect.. Also Vloggers can upload video blogs, there is also an amazing live streaming option (This site will be hosted to start with on 8 x rackspace.com servers, with server load balance, each server with 1.5tb hard disks, quad cpu's, 16GB ram ect.. There amazing servers, 4 in the UK, 4 in the US so the site will be AMAZINGLY! fast and with no downtime at all, will be able to survive the digg effect all day long) Hopefully it the word gets spread by bloggers ect.. The streaming option gives members the option to connect there webcam easily to the site, they can instantly go live so on there profile page people can see them live on webcam and also chat via either private or public IM.

    There is so many features aswell as an iPhone/iPod touch application were launching so this social network will be 100% accessible on the apple iPhone, not just from the website browser but there is a free application for the iPhone which runs in the background and pings you when you get a message. For example; say your a freelance web designer based in NY, there is a search bar, people search for "web designers in NY" they find your portfolio, they want to hire you and your out and about and not at a PC to get there message right away, you get pinged on your iPhone/iPod touch and you get the job instantly because of the fast reply :D

    Imagine also, your friends wanting to know if your going out for a few drinks on a night, say your not at your PC, you can receive messages from sceneparty members direct to your phone.

    there is a lot of features, aswell as for example a file storage service, and important file back up service, you could keep for example school/collage/uni work in a secure vault and you can acsess them on any PC weather it be at school or home or that hot chick who sits at the front of the class who's asked you to come and help her with her homework, you could acsess them at her house on her pc ;) as you can give acsess to members for a period of time or for ever *sharing options* allthough im sure you'd proberly be doing some other sort of offline sharing and woudnt have time to check your school studys out,

    another example is.. what if your restarting your computer and you want to save your photos and word documents or whatever.. you back them up (fast uploading/downloading speeds but obviously depends on your internet connection)

    you can back your files up and then download them again when youv re-installed your system, say for example you converted from a PC to Mac (because pc's suck) :D

    Also.. this site has HD ready video uploading too.. so if you have a HD laptop like me (its windows vista :( but its HD ready :p) you can enjoy chris crocker crying over britney spears in HD! :p .... what if you have a HD ready TV, just get a lead and stick your PC on it and watch the stuff on there from the site.


    Anyway.. ill keep you all updated (for those who want to know), ill be sending a few beta test demo log ins soon for tech blogs, web 2.0 blogs, web design sites and personal bloggers ect.. Not too many because with it not being launched and stuff, i have the New York times interested, also techcrunch ect..

    enjoy
