    Hi,

    I have nearly finished Xbox 360 Resources and I just wanted a bit of feedback on it.

    I have done the design and layout so I am just working on the content for each of the pages as some of them are still bare.

    Please could I have a bit of feedback on the design, ease of use and general critique?

    Thanks

    Ooohhh Im liking this design. Nicely encapsulates the 'Xbox feel' if you know what i mean.

    Very easy to use with the layout. Although if it was my website I would put the 'contact us' link prominently in the right nav bar instead of burried at the bottom. Then people could contact you asking about hardware etc, could help affiliate sales and trust in your website.

    I would also put some little links at the bottom of each page with "bookmark page", "tell-a-friend" and maybe a couple of social bookmarking links (not many though).

    Apart from that I think the site looks great and serves its purpose very well. :)

    Great Idea, I think I will add a few bookmarking links on each page now and move the contact us to the top somewhere :)

    Thankyou for the great feedback also!

    Hi! I will be your quick reviewer for today :)

    Site layout is good and easy to use, professionalism with the design is there though it lacks more. Try posting up little videos on the side with the latest game trailers to make it a little more appealing. Daily updates with site would get you more returning visitors. Keep this up! ;)

    At the minute it is mostly static but I am going to try and get articles and latest news posted for content to get people coming back.

    To start off, very nice design. I think that the site is extremely easy to navigate around. I also agree with the idea of posting game trailers, and would suggest also posting reviews on the "game of the week".

    Looks great. Using the xbox colors on your site gives the user and authentic xbox feel.

    The design is awesome - it really meshes well with the general theme of the Xbox, it's very organized. The navigation of the site is very neat and easy to use and a variety of items are available for everybody's need - i like it!

    The sites has definately got an xbox look and feel to it and some of the suggestions made here are very good.
    My concern would be of credibility when advertising the goods as the links I viewed go straight to ebay listings where the sellers have no rep themselves and were secondhand items. This detracts from what started to seem like a very good site.
    Try to link with established sellers that have good feedback ratings and establish yourself as an xbox reseller with the main xbox distributors.
    Perhaps advertise a "sell yours here" section and charge a small fee similar to the Amazon set. In this way all the listings will carry your site template and keep the original feel. Best of luck,:)
