    pretty self explanatory site
    please let me know what your first gut reaction is when you visit it.
    would you stay and browse around or would you leave and never come back
    also, would you change anything about the design/look of the site as well

    thanks for any input

    colors are ok but i think your header is big. it's pushing the real content to so footer of the site

    I think the template would look nicer if you used a more saturated/brighter green background. For the search graphic, I would make that transparent.

    Not bad, but you need another header this one is not cool, you also need another search buton.

    Hello!
    The website is very pretty, but it can be improved.


    1. Your meta tags are very poor:

    title.... Family Guy Clips - Main
    meta name- keywords content.... media, website, php media script

    2. Your page is not optimized for search engines.
    Try to use better keywords (make a search for better keywords)

    3. Put headlines on top of your page and put 1-2 keywords in the first 50 characters of your page (the body).


    Hope it helps...

    I would stay. I like family guy and this is not bad at all. But yes, I would change the header. It is too big and could look much better.

    The header is quite big which pushes the content downwards. It's also always a good idea to add a brief summary or introduction of your site.

    The site is really slow to load. I found it slow, don't know if any one else noticed it.

    As already mentioned, reduce the header size a bit and also add some content at the start of the page. Move the 'Featured Clips' section down and add some content there.

    Great improvement I must say lythan :D The header is perfect now, and also the content at the top of the page. The only problem I found now was that the Search Text is not visible with the search box, and no button for 'Go' with the search box. Everything else seems alright.

    I would also look into trying to condense the left side content a little bit. You have alot of open spaces and you could have more content. Make the thumbs smaller maybe.
