Hello, i run www.fashion-forums.com and im looking for some ideas, advice on how to make my fashion forum better looking. I like www.thefashionspot.com but don't want to copy. Can anyone give any ideas advice?
1) There's too much content going vertically on the opening page. It's hard for the user to know what to focus on.
2) As far as making the site look different goes, I think you need to expand on the skin a little more. What I'd personally suggest is maybe a fixed background image of models or something, with a transparency filter applied to it (say 75-80%).
