Design/Layout:: 6/10 Comments: Could use a better header, the gray text is hard to read and slightly dull on the eyes. You should place all your header links down into the footer as well. Create another link called "Contact Us" for direct contact rather then getting on the forum for support.
Nice design.. I agree with other comment, could use a better header. I also wanted to say that I've been seeing so many sites nowadays with that diagonal line back ground image. I don't want to say this but that style is reminding me of Tribal tattoos.. When it first came out You were cool if ya had one, now it's quit embarrassing. Glad I only got my stupid initials tatted. (which was a dumb move) To your success, James Delong
In my opinion I would not even worry about the web URL.. I mean I would have that on there but smaller. For the header, put what your site is about FREE FORUMS.... well something to that effect.. don't worry so much on the design so much.. the font header will do just fine but make the header pop out at your customers so they know exactly what your page is about before having to read the About me of other blah blah blah we put on our pages. Hope that helps
I see nothing really wrong with it. I did not see the dead links the other poster was talking about. I take it you are building these ? I would make the upper header smaller as to save real estate. #9 for layout for the large header. and #10 [perfect ] for features
I really like the clean look. The layout it pretty nice. But the one thing that bothered me was when I went to your site, it sort of popped out at me out of no where. I would lighten the colors and make it much more welcoming. I might suggest just getting a professionally designed template, or header made for your site. I am sure someone on the DigitalPoint forums could do a wonderful job for you. Also, I might suggest adding a little more content and making the pages longer. I don't know why but your site feels very empty to me. When I first looked at this post, I noticed you had a .us domain. I would definately consider changing it, because .us is very unpopular, and takes away dollar value from the site. But, overall, I would say it is a good site. Here are the ratings you asked for and more: Website Value: $145 Domain Value: $15 Design/Layout: 8.5/10 Features: 6/10 Hope this helped you out a lot and I wish you luck with your site!
Interesting business concept. Hopefully you find a market for this. The site looks good. The TOS link did not work for me.
Overall I like the design; it should appeal to the type of person interested in free forums. I'd make the 'warex.us' in the header smaller and put something like 'Warex | Free Invision and PHPBB Hosting" or something in there - it's important to let the user know what your site is and what it does within the first few seconds they're on it. I'd also list your features on the front page - make it very clear the type of advertising you put on free boards, and make sure the user knows what types of skins and plugins,etc. you offer. It's all about letting potential users see what you've got to offer at-a-glance.
