Directory design?

    Hey everyone..

    I own Web Directory 2.0 (it's still in pre-launch mode) and I wonder what you guys think of the theme. It's a custom design and I coded it myself.

    I'm thinking of going a different direction with the look though and I was wondering if anyone thinks I should release it as a free 3.2 theme.

    I'm not looking to sell it here or anything - just wanted some directory owner's opinions. If I get a good reponse, I'll post it in the correct form.

    Well one thing is for sure you got yourself a good domain name, use it wisely. Not sure about the design though, I recommend that you get a logo other than text though. Let me know when you get the site indexed and I might be willing to get some links from you.

    Total records: 77 etc etc hides behind the right sidebar.. look into it!

    Many don't even have a custom themes.. hence its good that you have one. Keep experimenting with the current theme itself via css, giving featured and regular links better looks as well as the category.

    Atm its looks fine and a good design to me. :)

    My bad, your homepage has been indexed by google so you are doing something right.

    oh yeah?!?! mind telling me what keywords you used and how many pages in you searched?

    THIS THREAD HAS BEEN MOVED TO REVIEWS

    I'd love opinions from non directory owners as well..

    umm dont wanna say that i dont really like it. categories area look too plain and add somt recommend links so it wont look so empty. if got more dirs network, you can put it at the bottom or sell as a link. ^^
