If you like writing articles about design, development, photography i will be glad to publish them in my site. Also need some help to start positioning the website. The website is topcreativemag.com Thanks in advance.
1 - Your logo is a bit dark-colored. I think some visitors will have hard time reading it. Experiment with more vivid colors. 2 - Show your most popular articles in the right column, and list 7-9 of them. 3 - Your footer needs to be re-designed, add a shorter About Us info, Contact Us form, tweets, ToS, Privacy, etc 4 - Offer to pay $$ for great posts, in the beginning you need a marketing budget. 5 - Offer more Freebies; PDFs, Icons, Fonts, Logos, etc. You are off to a good start, just invest more and you might as well make it to the top.
