    I am about 50% the way thru my new student site and would appreciate thoughts etc

    it's here : www.118student.co.uk

    PS - I am going to put a careers advice section so everyone out that that has a particular job if you write up things such as
    - what's it like
    - how did you get into it
    - what qualifications are needed
    - hours you work
    - job satisfaction
    etc

    then send it to me and I'll link back to your site from the page (nicely themed eh) so any body :

    - webdesigners ?
    - web hosters - ?
    - internet marketing super gurus - ?
    - database masters of the universe...er.. ?

    send it to student at 118student.co.uk

    also - if you have visited a particular country you like - write it up for me and I'll also link to wherever you want

    No offense but it just looks like a tradedoubler affiliate link site.

    You really need to improve on the content and provide more information and resources for students, than links to cheap mobiles etc.

    Simple design - which is always good, and easy to navigate.

    Like the design, improve the content.

    Well.. I quit uni for my current job(s). Guess that's not something you'd like to promote? If you do, I'l write something in the next 2 weeks for a link to my new project. Can also do some on travelling and other stuff about student life.

    Oh and yes, the colour seems more to attract housewifes looking for cheap washing powder than designed for youngsters looking for fun, action and new ways to get rid of their student loan.

    I quite like the site.

    Simple designs - personally, I would change the header though. I don't think it looks right for the site.

    Maybe some kind of mascot... Something stupid like a smoking monkey - More than welcome to use that one ;) (In other words, something that students will find funny, then tell people about - something viral.).

    Everyone is walking about wearing ThunderCats T-Shirts and Care Bares etc... Students like stupid things.

    Just my $0.02

    Thanks again for your input

    I chose the colour because it was different and I know it's not every's taste :)

    I think I'll make the logo smaller but it was a kind of graffiti style

    and, ALL writers are welcome as before:

    Tell me how you got to your job you do now - webdesigners, teachers, database experts you name it (what qualifications you have, how tough it it, what you do daily, where it might lead to.....)

    and I'll link back to a related page for you

    THANKS AGAIN
