I've launched a teen site largely centred on anime but not exclusively. Also I set up a new phpBB forum and I'd love opinions on both. The forum is more general btw covering topics as far a relationship advice. Please give cosntructive criticism Thanks http://www.nickstopfive.com Oh and feel free to join! It could use the members!
Doesn't look professional and look like a site I would go to to look at teen centered topics. Also the side bar that contains the links, I thought it was my search function going off, but it was just your side bar. I think you might need a complete make over to make your site work because if the web design doesn't sell, the viewers won't read your content most likely.
It doesn't have an professional look-specially the color schemes are not good.I would say that you can add good design for your site first.Thanks.
I agree with what has been said thus far if you do not have money to hire a web designer you should at least get a free template for the site it will make the site look much better.
Wow, saw the colors - was blinded for a moment, then clicked out .... After I could see again, went back cautiously for a look. Naruto files were extremely hard to read with the blue over the background pic. Load some naruto manga and offer a vote button as to whether they would like to see more instead of requesting requests on the front page. Deathnote had no image on it area, doesn't flow with the rest of your site. sql error on the jokes, so no comment on that area. easy enough to get some swf files for the games area, need to grow that out more. Again no image, should have images on game section - even if it just images for the games themselves. (usually comes with the swf files if you can find them in zip format) funny pics doesn't load properly into frame, you have it set as _self i think without looking at the code top 5 area impossible to read, should fix itself when you get a theme background that is usable tho, maybe darken the greens a little tho (depending of course on the background you choose) On top 5 area, I guess I expected a bit more than a single vid, how bout some website info (fansites, their site, etc..). The title info on top 5 was inconsistent, on Rhiana's was on top, wasn't wrapped with the other 4. Lose the joke on the front page, OR make it take less room by boxing it up a little. If this is a teen site, I guess I would expect to see a little more teen stuff. Kinda jumping around to target several niches at once - won't pay you as well. Maybe set up a music.nickstopfive.com and a naruto.nickstopfive.com and a manga.nickstopfive.com and focus on one niche at a time? Hope this is helpful, I see some potential here - but it still needs some work. This is YOUR vision, so pursue it as you see it. With those colors, could always just put up a big white adsense banner. People come in and want to leave as quickly as they can, and google is right there for them ... (serious about the google idea, not a cut. Ugly websites can make google money ..... ) Tammy
I would recommend: 1) categorising your content. what i mean is maybe creating different sub domains for each niche 2) Create a more appealig logo 3) Use a more appealing template/colour scheme 4) At the moment the readability of your site is low, because of the background image/text colour. 5) Add a fav icon 6) Add a site map For now i think you should probably concentrate on the colour scheme/structure and organisation of your site and hopefully the litle other things will come after that. Best of luck with the site! Kind Regards
Change the color. It hurts the eyes honestly. The HTML used is very basic. Try making it look sleek and anime-ish.
