Website Review and Suggestions

**Deviros** · 12:13 AM

Ok, i've posted quite a few comments on here, and i've finished as much as i'm going to do as far as construction on my site is concerned, so it's time i ask for some opinions!

I've been working on this site for a while, and it's recently been sponsored, and is definately showing up in Google, so as much constructive criticsm as possible would be appreciated.

I'm not looking for design aspects so much as to how my information is presented, and how easy/difficult it is to figure out what the site is all about!

Any and all opinions are highly appreciated and welcomed, regardless of the category. If you feel that there is something design-wise that i need to adjust, please let me know!

The site looks good and it's easy to understand what it's about. Joomla is a good CMS and it's hard to make a bad webpage with it.

It's cool that anybody can comment on an article. Hopefully you don't get too much spam or trolls. I know there's a captcha so hopefully that will eliminate most of the spam.

I do think you could use a nicer logo. It looks very aliased and plain. Also, when looking at your HTML, one of your style sheets is referenced many times and I'm not sure why. This is what I see:

HTML Code:

  <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.freeopenforum.com/components/com_comment/joscomment/templates/SSlide-emotop/css/css.css" type="text/css" />
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.freeopenforum.com/components/com_comment/joscomment/templates/SSlide-emotop/css/css.css" type="text/css" />
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.freeopenforum.com/components/com_comment/joscomment/templates/SSlide-emotop/css/css.css" type="text/css" />

Thank you for your comments!

I'm looking into that CSS issue, that is very odd, and i'm not really sure why that would be happening...must be a problem with the commenting component.

Thank you, as well, for your opinion on the logo - and yes, i agree with you on that. the transparency just isn't working, and it does need to be spruced up a bit.

One of the things that i think people fail to realize is that not only can anyone comment, but anyone can also sign up for an account and post their own articles as well... Can you see that in there?

Thanks, again!
