    I recently built a new website for ghost stories and would really appreciate it if anyone would take a look and let me know your thoughts.

    Comment on the colors, layout, content, ad placement, navigation, logo, or anything you can think of.

    Many thanks in advance!

    The idea is very good, first time I see a ghost stories website. Only thing you need is a little banner but the rest is cool :)

    Really good idea but you need a little white added somewhere.

    IMHO, i think the black background with the neon text is like websites popular in the 1990s. :)
    Try to use a text color that is more reader-friendly.

    Good luck though. ghost stories is a real nice concept.

    OK, thanks for the comments everyone. Even my wife said the green had to go. I changed it to a soft blue.

    I think, nice idea.

    but why black color? If we speak about ghosts are we must scaring people?

    If i do site like that I will go with some other color. ie white and make more non-scary look..so you will have readers not just who try to find some "hoollywood scary story". I mean make site to look "real story site", not just another usual color etc site..

    I will go with WEB2.0 design and stuff..allow user to submit stories ... etc

    btw nice idea...

    ps. I hope you uinderstand what I say..and my bad english ;)

    Hi marcoss

    I personally like the black background and think it is appropriate for this type of website.

    Visitors are able to submit stories, in fact that is where the stories come from.

    Thank you and everyone else for your comments, all have been repped.

    The general inpression is good.
    The heading on the right "If You Like The Mysterious & The Weird You Will Enjoy Your Time Here at The Ghost Crossing" seems a bit too large, too long and superfluous. I would shorten or remove it. It doesn't add anything to what is already said "Where Everything Paranormal Comes Together".

    Header, yeah, you definitely a new header. I wish I had some extra time man, I could have done one for your site for free, honestly, I liked the idea. If anyone else's not interested, I might wanna do it sometime..

    Maybe some friends said that you should make your header better, but I think it is great. The most important thing is the content, and you did a great job there!

    True, but you know what, it's not about the content anymore, I mean people, at least people like me definitely wants to get impressed by a good header or a design, hundreds of thousands of sites get released everyday and they to try very hard on contents, so which one you bookmark? The one that you fall in love with at first site. I didn't mean to be disrespectful, just thought I'd help him impress people a little more..

    I like the concept a lot. I grew up in a house with paranormal activity and now I am really fascinated by it.

    One thing about your website though is that it is hard for me to read, I mean the colors...I always really struggle with dark backgrounds and lighter fonts because it bugs out my eyes and I can only look at it for a short time. So if there was anything I would want differently it would be that. Otherwise very cool!

    I would like to thank everyone for checking out this website and making your comments.

    Through a PM discussion with a member here I decided to sell the site, so it now has a new owner.
