    It looks ok for the average internet users.
    For me, it's a big mess. There's no sense of elegant, alignment. In other words, it looks quite cheaply made.

    Mmmm. Well it took me a while to figure out what the site was about. The footer information should be in the header. - That is the line Creating a world of inspiration. I'm Quotes Papa. Welcome to my world
    And the category navigation should also be at the top.

    People: Barack Obama - Aristotle - David Beckham - Bruce Lee - More...
    Country: America - China - Germany - Japan - Canada - England - More...
    Type: Females - Males - Entertainment - Fantasy - Public Service - More...

    The good stuff = lots of interesting stuff /content.

    The bad stuff = too crowded with images, and they should at least in the same size/dimension, because i had headache to see those images ;(

    Just my opinion.

    Alanvo, with his/her two posts, is an idiot. The site looks very nice. I think some kind of border or background would improve it.

    Alanvo: Well hello Mr. above average internet user. Thanks.
    Sure didn't hire a designer that's for sure, and my own design capacity is like a 4 year old :eek:

    Could you elaborate the alignment problem a bit, may be something I could fix.

    Raybal5: Hi there, I think my priorities got a bit messed up when I remade the front page last week. Made an update just now, have a look :)

    Kimi, Biggun, Sanchy: Thanks for your feedback!

    I experimented with some different colors and borders just now, but the borders didn't look good, and I only ended up changing the color to slightly darker @.@

    Also fixed some size problems on the front page with the pictures so should look a little more harmonized now.

    What I wonder is does this template affect the quote experience in a way that you'd leave the site earlier just because it doesn't look fantastic, or is the content compelling enough to grab the attention?

    Biggun: Regarding pics, can get them anywhere these days, nothing strange right? Online simply

    Wow, this was some really unexpected feedback :eek:

    I've even got a whole bunch of cartoon figures like garfield, bugs bunny & daffy duck in there (under: type --> Fantasy)

    Could you introduce what you feel is missing and how I could make the site more useful for larger audiences, because that is really my idea with the site. I was hoping it could be attractive for younger as well as older people
