I know it's not a very good site but I'd like some ideas to make it better. It can be found at www.teenagedrinkingstories.com
Hi there, what exactly are you looking for a review on? The content, or the actual design? It took a while to load - I think if you're going to have a graphics intensive site, you want it all to be relative to the content. I thought the site was pretty bland, considering the topic. Have you considered a forum, rather than a sign-up-and-submit format? This way people could share their stories and everyone could comment / discuss / reminisce on their particularly amusing inebriated experiences. Seriously though, first thing is to get a design that relates more to the content at hand.
A design that relates more to the topic? How would I achieve that? And forums seem a little too simple. I would rather a site.
The site took a very long time to load. When it finally loaded, if I was browsing the web and came across that site, I would not have looked at it for more than 2 seconds. You want to catch the reader's attention in 3 seconds. I would add some color to it, and like the other reviewer said 'it looks bland'.
