    I need some people to let me know what they think of this new design before I can release it. It's still got some work to do, but overall I like the idea.

    Also, I only have access to my one screen size, so if you can test it in a few different ones and post screenshots, that'd be kickass.

    Let me know what you think!

    I think the background images of each div looks sorta crappy, its just "too much". It takes away from the idea of the website.

    The banner looks good.

    Everyone that I have asked (except kpwned) has loved the images in the back. I think I'll keep em :p

    Also you can see the new design fully functional at just the plain domain www.TheDatingSchool.com.

    I love it! Im more inclined to like colourful sites but yours looks classy without colours.

    What is the point of using such minuscule characters??:confused:
    The materials are fascinating but one has to copy them and increase before reading!

    Well most of them change size accoring the size of the users browser preferences. If you have the font set small already then it may get smaller. Is anyone else having this issue? If so I will have to change the size of the font. To me it's very readable.

    Regarding your site. It doesn't look like you are using all of your page space efficiently. Too much empty space. Good luck with your site. Marlon

    it looks nice, but please try on changing the site's color scheme ... it's just an opinion ... and yes, it has too much space

    Yes, very nice site, but if you want to have a success with it you need to optimise it for search engines. Where are your keywords?

    I am working on the SEO a little bit at a time with this site. I have a decently sized newsletter with most of the readers taking the time to read it and the website, so SEO is on the up and coming list. I just need to come up with time to sit down and work on everything :p

    As far as keywords, I haven't really decided yet. I think "pickup" is going to be in many of the terms though seeing as that is the main idea of the website.

    my review:

    try to make the logo much smaller in order to give a more pro look.

    And ... use the red color - a very appropriate color for dating, still keep the old dark grey.
