    I have recently re-designed my Horse racing site to have a cleaner more professional look and feel. What do you think?

    http://www.offandracing.com/news.php

    I also just started up this site on LPG conversions and am looking for some feedbackon the information design and layout

    http://www.lpgconversions.org

    Regards
    Daniel

    At off racing you made a good option to use e107 and i think that design is so simple for your website.

    Very clean. Very professional looking. You may have thought about this, but on your adsense bar, to make it blend in more and look more like natural linking, how about making the bar the same color as the bars on your page.
    Also, since your page looks very clean and good, I think the green google adsense bar takes a little away from the design. The search button goes well, but the green google ad at top takes away from the professionalism of your design IMO.

    Very nice job on the site.

    adriano, I am a big fan and user of e107, you may know me as"Zaphod" on those sites

    Giusbit we use to have one but IMO in this design it just wouldn't fit. To work around this I am trying to use as many images of horses in the news as possible


    Pcoptimized a vry valid point in regards to the referall bar. I think I will remove it in the LPG site as that one needs to hold it professionalism a lot more, but in the horse racing site I might try a basic white google referal or something else.

    Thanks for the feedback. If anyone has anymore feedback I would be more than happy to hear it

    Hey Danny. I'm sorry, I only looked at the racing site originally. That's the one I was talking about. However, now that I looked at both, how about moving it just below the poll instead of taking it off of lpg? For me, it's just the location of where the button is. My opinion is that it would look fine elsewhere on the page, but just not at the top where it's almost the first thing I look at.

    Yeah good point.

    I kind of am moving away from graphical designs but needed something there. I might just come up with an LPG title graphic and the same for horse racing too. The referals are not getting many clicks at any rate

    Well, you have a great idea I think anyway as the topic is surely a hot one where you are I suppose. BTW, I got lost in your blog yesterday. (Distracted that is) :)

    optimized.

    Yeah defiantely a hot topic. I have a mate who works in the industry too who will be getting me some good info and deals :)

    Yeah the blog is very personal but general a good idea and is helping a lot. I have had a few people PM and email me telling me it has helped them to understand their relationships and that they have started diaries about their relationships since reading mine.

    I am overwhelmed by this because it means I am reaching and helping people so out of my pain some positives can come :)
