    I got found the theme while looking for wordpress themes (just anything in particular, not message board/forum themes) so I feel I got lucky on it. I think it makes my site look like an actual forum which is good and clever, but I want to know what others think. Any recommendations would greatly be accepted :).

    I will give rep for every review :).

    You could use a better eye catching banner. I love the wordpress theme it shows what your services are all about. Make your service more eye catching, make it bold and add color.

    I agree on the banner. At first it was a frog that came with the original theme, but then I changed it. I might hire someone or see if someone can make a banner for me. I think I will look into having someone make the banner colorful, but still blending with the rest. Thanks a lot for the tips :).

    The font in the forums should be darker so its easier to view. I think the gradients could be lighter because the look is kind of outdated.

    too grey, need more professional graphics and show your prices on the first page like forumshock.com does

    I see what you mean about showing prices. I will try and figure out a way to change it. Are there members that could keep the same layout, but change the colors for me? How much do you think it would cost?

    It may be a good idea to enlarge the fonts because the people who might be interested in your services most often have no much time to read thus it would be a good idea to make the reading as easy as possible for them.

    1. You need a professional banner.
    2. The Grey color doesn't do you any favors.
    3. Those ads needed to blended or gotten rid off your running a business here not an informational website that adsense is it's only revenue stream.
    4. Yahoo email addresses are not professional

    Sorry if that's to harsh it's just your site doesn't look professional. Try http://www.oswd.org/ you'll find some way better templates.
    Hope it helps :)
