Hi,
i just created my first website. this was a large project that 2 friends and i started about a year ago and before we begin to makert our site. i wanted to get some real feedback about the look, layout, and flow of our site. the site is www.klamour.com. its a social content site.

hi there,

I like the colour scheme, good work and the layout also works. Though is quite typical to social networking sites - may blend you in a bit too much, maybe a more unique layout will get you better attention? Either way I like it and it works. Well done.

The header menu needs some attention I think. The large white text links are a bit bland and a bit too 'chunky' for my liking. The logo is alright but doesnt fit the header, it looks a bit out of place, maybe try to blend him in a bit more?

very good start though, keep up the good work

Your site completely changes colors when I click on a pic or news item. I thought I left the site.

thats because the website allows users to change the colours of the page

Maybe so, but I didn't try to.

Hey.

Well first of all, the home page, it doesnt tell me what the site is about! Its a big problem and too me makes it look slightly like one of these popups that come up everynow and then!

Also i like the colours they are very nice and fit well with the site, although i think you should put borders around each of the pictures on the right

But in all a good site a bit hard to get used to as the nav isnt in the usual place.

Camp, i mean the user signup and create their own page and colour it how they like, you obviously clicked on someones page

ok i made some changes to the site and now the problem is how do i get the word out? how do i get users and views

these are the things i have tried. posting links on sites digg and reddit. also posted links on related forums. but the one thing i tried that i thought would work is using friends to spread the word but that doesnt seem to be working either. so i am now trying to buy peoples love for my site by doing a give away. i bought a wii and some itunes gift cards.. i hope this works...

Some suggestions
- SEO Friendly Urls
- Correct width of thumbnails to fit design.
- Top Bar has silver background & white text. Bad idea
- Design changes automatic, very annoying.
- Logo needs padding on left, looks out of place when background is no longer white.
- About Us, Should be on homepage of non-registered users for your launch.
- Title should be "Content | Website title" rather than your "Website Title | Content"
- Registration is US Only (zip code)
- Registration is too strict, requires 8letters password & lastname!?!?

....
If you want to get linked to, you should contact content creators. People who make the videos and host them on their website, you should offer to host them for free, feature them on your website. Therefore generating traffic from their website and this gives you unique content for your website.

You dont host your own videos, so im unsure how you can create unique content.

Out of all the suggestions id highly recomend SEO Urls, Keep up the Good Work.

I think the font face and color don't match your web site template. I find not so smooth to look at and somewhat scattered.
