    When you first visit www.ArcadeBannerExchange.net, what do you think?

    Does it make you want to join, or just close that window?

    Any reviews please!

    Thanks

    First impressions - it's just ugly.

    I like the way you go with a black background and white text - it's good to break the mold. However, the site looks unprofessional, and yes, it does make me want to close that window.

    What you need is a proper design. A nice logo, and a proper body area with nice fonts etc.

    If you need more advice or help, PM me.

    That is better - cleaner and more easy to navigate. What it does lack is that immediate big logo which instantly tells you the name and purpose of the site.

    I think it needs more graphic and better colors to be a better one!

    Yeah - color. Needs color. White on black is ok, but you need to get a better layout, graphics, and color.

    I'm making some graphics.

    The problem is the templating system for that script - is non existent! All it can do is edit CSS files.

    Thats why I am changing script in a few weeks.

    I don't really know what to say.
    Red type doesn't make me want to read it.
    One thing you might consider is tht people don't want to work at viewing your site. They want the info clear and to the point. Get a template if you don't have the design skills and edit it. Just think of what you want to look at and read and you can't go wrong.

    Too bold fonts. I think keep the content with black and white. May Be Comfortable for visitors.
