I recently launched a Forum by the name of d3ia.com www.d3ia.com Not my domain of choice. But I wish to make it big. Just let me know what you think about the design and all. I am still in the process of customising and advertising it, and hiring experts. The other is my Temporary Site. www.xyber3dstudios.com - Just let me know whether the design is trustworthy and good or not? I don't wish to listen to SEO at the moment. I have been working on that, and its proving good even with so little content.
I don't really like the name... but you can still build a brand around it.. about the site... I like it... its a nice clean forum... however, now the challenge comes to push a bunch of peeps in to interact.. this might take some time!!! Good job on the graphics though and design..
95% of the forum is below the fold. You might have a hard time getting people to join if they don't even know it's there.
Possibly, or maybe even just use one logo. Personally, I would make the site wider, kill off the second 970 x 100 banner, and get rid of the banner ad. I have nothing against making money online with ads, but that ad is killing your forum.
Just a couple of things. I read the first things on the website after loading and its very blunt. It has no how should i say pizazz. Its not exciting at all. Why not add a bit more conent to the first page then get into contact details and such on a contact us tab
it's taking much time to load.. i think this is the first site i have visited today taking this much time to load. you must take this into sheer consideration.
also i think there is a weird color combination. background and text are too light while the category names are very dark red. this is what the first impression.. you need to have good color combination and site loading first of all. There are no topics yet in the site and it taking too time. Imagine how much time it will take after it have many posts and users?? You need to think about this..
