    I'm really glad I found digital point forums a while back, because I learned so many things from the community here.

    I'd really appreciate it if you can test my new website and give me some feedback on what I can improve on. Is registration fast and easy? What I can improve in in terms of design? SEO? and any other aspects or new features I should implement.

    Lastly, while you are testing the website, feel free to enjoy the artworks there and leave some reviews for the artworks you like (or dislike). As a small token of appreciation, the website allows you to add a promotional link next to your review.

    A big thanks!

    The design does not look professional you should consider getting a professional
    template for the site.

    hey, thanks for the candid reviews. I just realized for the first time how ugly my site looks lol. I think I'll make the following changes in the near future:

    Make banner bigger, header ad smaller.
    Add some fieldsets to make things look neater.
    Increase font size.
    As for templates, I think I'll go ahead and model my site after google & wikipedia.

    If you have any other suggestions please let me know.

    Also, I'd really appreciate it if someone give some feedback on the functionality of the site and what features I should implement for such a site.

    Yep as per previous posters Blue on Blue is never going to work. Also you need to add a privacy statement to comply with adsense TOS.

    I would recomend:
    1) Using a premade template
    2) If possible install/use joomla/word press cms. A cms will let you add articles, pictures quite easily, and they would look good dependent on you having a good joomla/word press template.
    3) Create a site map.

    Good luck with the site

    Kind Regards
