Im currently working on the template on my localhost site. Thanks for all the advise and the nice comments.
Ok Ive now updated the template with a bit of subtle colour any more comments would be welcome http://www.yourtutes.com
You've done an impressive job, But the thing I do not like is the Scratch2Cash ad, whenever I click an category that comes up. Overall a great site!!!!!
Friend , I Must Say its actually Good to start with it but i must Say customize the adsense areas Bg colors Link colors u must take care of it weather where the user can click it Layman dosnt even know that it actually a an Ads and they click webmasters stumblers doesn't even click over the Ads, u can take an example over DP adsense or open an ezine articles and check the Adsense Template Format over there or Look over professional and try to make it and I Can say you can do well ...!! Cheerz...!!
You have a lot of things to be fixed: rating system is not working, first page is too long, the top is terrible... The idea is OK. Looks nice for your first one. Keep the work on it.
Ok I have changed the rating so non logged in users can now rate, ive also cut down the number of listings per page. Not sure what to do with the top, maybe a better logo and remove the grey bit under the logo. Any ideas are very welcome.
Much better! Follow the other's opinions: add more color to your website. It's too fade. I mean it's nothing stand up. First impression count. Create a logo, don't just write your website name. The top have too much space. Make it a little bit smaller and give the space to the second line: login...search Your top looks now like unfinished. Did you follow the line...from the gray top line to the end of the top? My opinion is to take out the google adsense from the top. But this is yours to decide.
Yep removing those g ads has made the page look much better, I will have to have a rethink with the colours. Thanks blackhat33
Ive spent the weekend doing a bit of an upgrade on the template and the logo, ive also changed the menus on the left so they dont take up so much room. Please let me know your thoughts. Many Thanks
I don't really remember how was looking before but it's getting better. Maybe you have to work more on: apply same style of login for the search, make the background of your logo transparent. Good luck!
Nice idea for the search bar i will see what i can do should be easy enough to do, as fro the logo its a transparant png
the site looks nice , no problem with design and on the empty space you can add some cool module perhaps so fill out that empty spot under the adsense. However, need to work on the SEO part .... Firstly , change the meta to something that would benefit you .... perhaps any keyword that you want to target...
At last ive had time to make a few changes, ive moved the bread crumbs up to give a cleaner look across the top of the content, made the login a bit more colorful
