    Some of you know that less than two months ago I started a site which was originally going to be a turnkey but since I have decided to stick with it for at least another 6 months to see what happens. Anyways I'd like some feedback on it and if you think there is anyway to improve it. Thanks alot.

    The site is http://www.VeganIsGreen.com/

    Nice colors, but it is a bit boring... maybe more images on the articles?

    Also - I suggest more articles snippits per page - having only 3 article teasers on the page is ... well... a tease ;)

    Hello Worldman

    I had a chance to look over your Vegan Is Green website.

    My Thoughts

    Logo
    I am quite intrigued about veganism and was excited to find your site in the review section. My first thoughts are that your site deserves a well designed logo. At present, it is a good logo... but I think that it could be brought further to grab attention of non-veganists out there.

    Header
    I think that you could have a green header... with patterns or web 2.0 design. This would help contrast it from the black throughout the site and keep to the vegan theme.

    Content
    After reading your content... it really has nothing to do with Veganism. I think you should keep the content similar to the domain name or change the domain name. This should be your number one concern.

    Template
    I realize that you must have purchased this theme from YooTheme but I think that it could use some customization.

    Your Top & Left navigations are exactly the same. I would recommend removing the left navigation for content realty space.

    Your top right font resizing options do not fully work properly. I tested these in 3 different browsers.

    You lose content when viewing your home page in an 800X600 setting. See image below:

    Favicon
    You need one.

    Conclusion
    This site needs a focus and needs completion.

    This review was done with 3 different web browsers (FireFox 2.0.0.9, Internet Explorer 6.02 & Opera 9.24) on Windows XP SP2.

    I do hope this is useful.
    Respects,
    Lhlalyam

    I always knew I needed more colors and pictures but have not really spent some time with that. In the next update that will definitely be the priority along with a favicon.
