I have been working on my site since the 1st week in February. This is my 1st real website and I need honest feedback so I can improve it, and make it the best experience for my members. The foundation for the site is the forums, but I wanted to have a home page, which I designed in Photoshop. I set up the categories and forums in vB and I am still working on them. The ads are just samples from Google's sample ad page, which I used for size and placement. I plan to apply for a Google adwords and adsense account soon. I wanted to run the site by you guys first. Don't hold back. Tell me what you think. www.BehindTheBoards.com
Contents looks to be good home page and ad placements are not good change the layout with ur photoshop design page content and concept : 7/10 layout : 2/10
Rappad can you please be a little more specific about the ad placement. A few designers suggested those locations. Maybe not the with sample banner ads I have there now, but text ads would work good there...No?
honestly, you have really work very hard for the website and it fits well for what it is constructed, however you needs to work a bit on loading part.
Vinboy, Yes I am vB. I am working on the loading too slow issue. I believe it's because I did the page in Photoshop and there are alotta images. Any suggestions on improving load time issues?
Thanks all. Thru the past few months I have learned mush about web design. I am the first to admit that ot os not as easy as it looks. I have found that, as soon as you figure out one thing, there are three more waiting around the corner. Thanks to all that reviewed my site and i am always open to suggestions and Ideas.
