This is very much still work in progress, but just wanted to throw the current site out for some comments. Its been up probably a week now. www.countycricketclubs.co.uk Thanks in advance
It's not too bad, not a fan of smf though myself. Personally I think a header redesign, something more eyecatching and fits in the skin would make your forum more appealing.
The banner needs better res / and I think it is too tall, maybe put the image to the very left and put a gradient fill to white with some taglines ...
Yeah i agree with the banner, it was something i knocked up quickly but it'll do the job for now. Thanks for the comments so far....
I would have used a different color buth thats ok. Also I think it would be nice if the icon on the left would be different for every subject. I think it makes it easier to follow.
My suggestions are: Remove the live cricket scrolling frame in header part. Place those links (underneath live cricket scrolling) extreme right side of the header. Header needs more modifications.
Banner needs more resolution and text on banner certainly needs to highlight the name more. I notice you've got a link to cricket247 on there. PM me if you'd like a reciprocal link on cricket247.org - this site has all the old posters from cricket247.net, which now has no traffic. We'd be happy to do a reciprocal link with you.
That top image is blurry , that doesn`t look to proffesional , it`s not a too good visual effect.The layout is nice , the color scheme is a bit too simple but works okay with the layout. The top menu is very nice. The footer is a bit messy , you could arrange those links and text overthere.
