    Hey,
    Link: SubtleAce
    I was wondering what you think about the site, what works, what could be changed. Not completely finished yet, still have to make the team and archive pages, and a little here and there, but overall it's pretty much done i think.

    So what's your opinion? ;)

    I think youve done good so far. Perhaps the easiest fix right now could be a flashier or larger header image.

    I like it but i would change the top right searchbox border that is white and it should really be a dark color ie drak grey almost black that subtly converys a light border .

    I cant actually fault anything else as its all neat & tidy and looks ok.

    Thanks for the replies! Faster than i expected ;)

    @Get Inspired: So the site is a bit "too" conservative?
    @Areol: Thanks, I changed the border to a darker hue ;)

    I really like it now. Good color scheme. Light, clean and attractive. It's very soothing to the eye. I even like the 3 blog posts. Very informative.

    Good luck :)

    I think the layout is quite clean. Not cluttered is good! Look excellent overall.

    Thanks for the replies guys ;) I agree about the fonts, I got lots to learn about typography^^ Changed the post title font at least so far, will read up on it and see how I can improve! Thanks again for the suggestions ;)

    True, I just contacted hostgator, apparently the server load was a little high on it - still got 3 weeks left of the 45-day money back guarantee tho so, if they don't shape up it's no problem to switch ;)

    Looks like the speed has picked up quite a bit now! :D

    Hey man, you should really get some new content over there...site otherwise looks good. I have written a short review on it because I really just dont know enough about what you're going to be doing yet. I really liked your About Me page and will probably be implementing some of your ideas into some of my site...so I appreciate that.

    Anyways, here is the review I wrote: http://tiyoo.com/blog/brand-new-sites/subtleace/


    Good luck with your site, I look forward to reading more about it in the future.

    PS...also posted your site to my facebook so you should be getting some good traffic from there. I have a couple thousand friends...not sure how much traffic it will bring you but hopefully it will help.

    Site loads extremely slow, there's not much in graphics wise so it would seem your hosting provider is slow or I have bad routing to it.

    Seems alright, nice centre design. Good use of white space.

    @charlietree: Thanks man! Was originally supposed to "open" it after 10 reviews was up, but google found it, indexed it, and well, we got screwed xD We're trying to add a new review each week, but it isnt so popular yet so we havent gotten many requests^^ Working on two atm :)

    @lancef: Loads ok-ish for me now, after i contacted them, will ask them again though, it's a cheap webhost afterall, but havent used much graphics wise as you said so :/ hmm
