    I have been working on an online safety website.

    http://www.thinkb4.org/

    Please be aware that the site is still in very early stages so it really just is the design, because no links completely work yet.

    Although we have written one Article which is because of a conversation here on Digital Point,.

    Unlimited Website Hosting?

    Best Regards,
    Mike

    Hi
    My personal pref would be to use a smaller eye image and logo. It seems to take a lot of real estate and don't think you need it to brand the site.

    Please note what it says on the page...

    This website is Under Development so some links may not work.

    It explains this clearly. There is more there now. Feel free to visit.

    Thank you for the comments;

    I will take a look into the color although many people seem to like that color because it stands out and allows them to see what it is about straight away.

    Regards,
    Mike

    Taking on board what everyone has said i have been doing a LOT of work onto the site, its design and its content.

    The forms NOW work so if you have any information that you would like to submit then feel free and help us make everyone aware of SCAMS, Fraud and Cyber Crime.

    Good, easy to use menubar. Nice colour scheme. The adverts are a bit prominent on the website. I prefer it a bit more out of the way on the right, rather than on the left. Good logo-image at the top.

    Obviously a bit dull since there is no content yet.

    Overall a very good start!

    I think its a good idea however i feel the design is a bit boring. Also usually the people who need safety advice for online are younger people, like school kids so that design isnt appealing to them at all.

    I like it, simple and effective, very in touch with the subject :) I disagree with lorddan01-those who look for such advices are their parents mostly, so it's pretty on target.

    I like the blue look and the simplicity of the design. I always tend to use blue colours in sites that I develope, and I do like the use of colours on your site.

    For the top menu, maybe instead of unlining the links, you can change the background colour instead - I think this will make the site a little better visually.

    Just my opinions.

    Plutoegg,

    Thank you for the review, very in touch :) - I am working on the site to make it better and it is placed there because it takes time to review websites and carry out investigations so we must have a sponsor some way or another.

    Lorddan01,

    As stated below by another member, the site is more for adults but most of all its for everyone so i have a neutral design.

    Awery13,

    Thanks for the review. You are correct about it being for parents in a mostly kind of way because the site is for everyone and when the BlackList is up and running it should be a great way to protect yourselves against Scams, Viruses and Fraud.

    Alex,

    Nice review and your suggestions have been noted. I shall see how much time it may take to add those extra tweaks.

    Everyone:
    Thanks for the reviews, Reputation has been added for all good reviews. :)

    ~ Mike

    Let me ask you something. I don't see which agencies you would report cyber crime to. Also how would a visitor know who you are, and what your mission is? You need to clearly outline your affiliations, and credentials so that a person can feel comfortable submitting a site to you. I wasn't comfortable with the plain vanilla look and feel, because that doesn't speak much about your credentials. Please work on that. Also you may want to post a few examples of actual acts you helped stop, or some positive feedback from users about your site. How about some actual evidence of work you have performed so far. I hope I am not overly critical of your site. I hope my criticism is of help to you.

    I just found this forum today while searching for content writers. I own two travel sites, so I have a little bit of knowledge about online security. I constantly check my logs to make sure someone is not trying to bring my sites down.
