Hi, ive built up this site www.lightingresourceforum.com it has a lighting directory and a lighting article database attached to it. however, it receives very little in the way of SE traffic, with quite a high bounce rate. The domain is about 6 weeks old now. Improvements or comments good or bad to any part of the site ?
Everything is nice overall but i was wondering if you could change the color of the forum or design. ( its just boring to see that same skin over and over again)
The color unmatch between light brown/khaki and blue, you can visit colorblender.com to match the color or pick their already match color combination. Hope this help
I spose the standard skin is boring to a webmaster or someone who regular visits forums, but most of my visitors i guess wont mind this. Also, I dont see any brown????? or do you mean the gold ? Any other improvements to any part of the site appart from its colours as i dont mind the colours
I'm not a huge fan of the circles on the right of your layout.. not sure but the colors in the photographs stand out too much to blend in well with your colorscheme.
I like the logo - warm colors, sunny to go with the lighting theme. The forums colors are fine, but don't really match the logo. The blue and gray are a cooler hue.
I think the look and 'feel' of th site is great. To get more traffic, might I suggest getting backlinks (and traffic) by writing some articles and submitting them to article directories.
