Please review my new game site... I have just finished the design and having problems with IE lately but I think it's fine now... Here's the link: aXegame.com Any suggestions and opinions are welcome and appreciated... thanks in advance, shymensport
The site, for me at least, takes a while to load. I calculated a good 1 minute? Perhaps you could decrease the resolution of pictures to reduce the lag time? I think the site overall looks fine. I do feel like the stars in the background makes it look less professional though
Attractive design. However when hoving on top menus, the menus will break the layout (in IE). I am not sure if it is your site problem or the css doesn't load fully , coz it loads slowly .
I like the site, but the featured post needs to get the picture resized I think. Too stretchy. I had a look at your post about Rohan Online and think it has the basics in it. Wouldn't necessarily inspire me to play the game. But then again I own the wiki: rohanwiki.com ( ) anyway... enough about me. The colors are a bit dark for your site. Dark colors are always used in gaming sites, but with the intent that content and certain things will display clearly and properly. Your name aXeGame should be white or something and not red on a red background. The size of the logo is fine... but sometimes less is more. Maybe make it smaller and add a nice logo for the site to your header. It can even be animated to make it more interesting and to add more about different games. Also you are displaying way too much adsense. People and gamers (like me) hate tons of adsense on sites. Keep it to a minimum and only display it on more desirable places on the site. Maybe one to max two adsense blocks. Or 4 close together. Then incorporate small banners that can be added to your site and sign up for some networks where you can offer to display the banners for a certain amount. Things like that. Your sub heading: a place where you can find games with good reviews and downloads is black and can hardly be seen on the header. >< Well that is just some stuff. I would also suggest to focus on some specific game genres instead of everything. Reason being is you will have more of a chance to stand out from the crowd then try to compete with sites like: www(dot)fileplanet(dot)com
thanks to all who reviewed my site your all kind and mostly to sarah_harvey for giving me good tips and advice... I hope that I didn't waste your time...
Your theme is nice but you know everything is too dark. Means something should be light it is hard to see all content ....Good luckkk
I have the same wp theme. I like your red version though, good job! The featured images resize via the theme, it's not his issue but the theme's. Work arounds are possible, just use an image more close to the size it will be resized to and another for the thumb. My critic is minimal. Lose the star background. It makes the otherwise pretty professional looking theme look tacky. Good luck with the site.
thanks for your comments... I'll do my best to do all what you've said.. but I really like the stars back ground ehehehehehe it feels that I am in space...
The red links on the red background (navigation) are really hard to see... should change that if you want people to actually click on them or returning visitors.
The site itself takes a long while to load, sadly most people won't sit around and wait... I'm unsure if it's your hosting provider or not... Theme's ok, it's a little too dark for me to be honest... but the layout's great.
Thanks a lot guys for sharing your thoughts I will improve it and do what you've said... again thank you very much...
