Website Review and Suggestions

Great site, but I agree with most of the other guys, you have a lot of images which makes your site a bit slow. Like the colour scheme though!

Besides all the great advice you received from Steven and the others, the only thing I can add is to say that you have *a lot* of information and links on the homepage. I think it may be overwhelming to some novice people (such as myself), and I tended to feel a little lost, and where to start looking for marketing advice (I also wasn’t exactly sure what a “Webmaster Mafia” was).

On an opposite note though, it loaded extremely fast for me, and I also like the CSS, color schemes, etc. that you used

I'm think all the beveled shiny backgrounds might be a little too much. Some of it is hard to read also (Hacker Safe button at the bottom).

I think the banner may need to be simplified also. Maybe take it down to only one or two of the cartoon people. Make your logo bigger but remove the outlined scorpian. Make the title of the site 'Webmaster Community' stand out more and the description 'webmasters crack knuckles' stand out less.

Also, you can take the poll of the main page and sign up with a Google Analytics account instead and really see where everyone is coming from. Then you can use that sidebar space for something more useful. Maybe put the directory and the search feature over there instead of having separate pages.

been a while since I posted on this thread

.. just thought I would give an update. Business models are funny thing, they tend to stretch & grow as time goes on. Services are added & subtracted in the ongoing expansion & targeting phases. As you cab see below, my site & business structure has changed tremendously!

I've eliminated several services & started focusing on my strong points, which is 2D Vector Graphics Illustrations (Web / Print). I've eliminated just about everything to do with coding services except Xhtml/Css & soon i'll be eliminating that as well so i can focus All my attention on the new business model.

Let me know what you think so far... I still have a few more things to expand on, but most of it is complete now.

your gfx are weak man, especially for a Creative graphics illustration design agency. nothing graphical in your site looks professional or even related to the site. why is george bush in several of them and the punisher in your sidebar? a jigsaw for a forum?

Thanks, I needed a laugh today...

I'm sure I can learn a lot from you, oh wait, never mind, you have a free avatar business. My business model is structured around both Products & Services for profit. It was a nice thought while it lasted though.

One of these days I'll learn how to do stick figures & make the big bucks, but for now I'll settle for all my bills being paid with my current skill set. I do have plenty of room for improvement. I am by far as good as some, However I am better than a lot out there in today's industry for Vector illustration work.

I do appreciate your comments & attempt at mature motivational tactics. Thanks, you've made me want to be a better man

Yet another color variation for the Agency

I like your graphics. They're actually something I don't see on every other site. I like how you did the main nav at the top.

Business models do change. It's good to evaluate them every so often to cut what isn't working or what you don't want to do and look for new things you can offer and would prefer to do.
