Review my directory

So this recent issue with phpLD led me to begin developing a domain I bought earlier this year...

It's a niche directory and there is also an attached blog I am working on, a long with an article/revenue sharing tie in..

I know the article link doesn't work, the blog link doesn't work, and the footer of the page needs a lot of work as of now. Other than than, I really want your opinions on the design and functionality. in place of the CAPTCHA I plan to use a tick box that asks if you read the guidelines.

Not done yet, just wondering if this design will be accepted

 

I've seen worse Nice start

not bad, get some links.

you will be OK.

 

Not worried about the number of links or categories right now, just want to see how this design will be accepted. Specific issues/dislikes you have with it would be nice

 

I would prefer something like the attachment, something more readable

 

the directories are all the same, with a lot of links, but yours is a little different, don't look like all other directories.

 

Not bad - tbh its nice to see someone whos asking for a review of their directory who isnt using a default template. Its a good start, would be nice to see a few defined lines though to some how seperate the content. Dark designs are usually rather hard to get right!

 

the color of your text with the background just burned my eyeballs and now i will cry on thanksgiving instead of eat turkey.

 

Not bad .You should change the font color of the texts beside the logo..
Good luck with your directory

 

I like, at least is different..

 

Thanks for the feedback guys, I'll change it up a bit before I lunch it... I'm working on pulling some articles on the front page / article submission system / 100% revenue sharing.... Knowing me though I'll scrap the layout tomorrow.. takes me 4-5 layouts before I get something to my liking.

Happy thanksgiving!

lmfao... it is a bit bright

 

Not bad. I like it, but if I were you I'd shrink the subcategories font a bit.

 

design is quite good, I would add something else to contrast

 

There seems to have been a slight tone down in color scheme.

good stuff now!!!

 

Nope no tone down... Just got done eating, haven't had a chance to change anything yet... Maybe the first time the colors burned your eyes so bad, and now your not seeing the full spectrem?

 

possibly it could have been due to the fact that it was pitch black in my office and nothing but monitor glare was all that was lighting the room.

Also a very long day and night of work could have also been associated with eye strain

 

Not to mention that it can turn your entire body green ;-)

 

I lightened up the background a bit, still haven't messed with the footer... Have about $300 to begin promoting it, will probably start promotion next month as I still have the search engines blocked, haven't added any categories, and I need to add the blog with atleast 10 posts.
