URL: http://www.webmastergateway.com Please review! We just got a new design, I hope you like it. Constructive criticism welcomed.
I like how its easy to read due to the large font size & layout/formatting of the forum; however I'm not really a massive fan on dark backgrounds/headers
The brown color logo blend in with the black background too much that it is hard to see. The menu links turned blue when hover over which is also difficult to read. Aside from that I like the large font and simple design.
@cheesee, You should change the header background and make it white and also change the color of the logo to the blue that the forum is. Remove that advertisement to the footer of the forum and change the menu tab color to white or the forum blue. This will make the website look much better
I like the dark background...It would make the theme too white...The rest of the forum is white. You want me to move the header ad to the footer? Why would I do that? Nobody would see it. Ads need to be placed in high CTR spots, so I can make money. Thanks for the reviews.
first impressions aren't good. Looks like a white layout plonked on top of a black header. And those green ticks don't inspire confidence. Looks very old fashioned and school kid like
That's what makes the world an interesting place. My demographic will respond differently to another. What matters is that your target demographic likes it. Who have you identified in your business planning as ideal forum members??
The header and logo is a bit clashy with the rest of the design. Black headers usually remind me of gaming forums. It should look a bit more professional. Everything else looks pretty good. Good luck with your forum
The header as has been updated. What do you think? I'm designing the site for you(the members), not for me. So if the majority of users still don't like it, I'm more then happy to adjust the colors until I can satisfy at least most of the users(and myself) with a good looking design.
