Hello All

I would like you to review my recently re-worked paranormal website.

Pretty plain looking. I think you should keep the capital letters on the top navigation for Obe's and Nde's as they are abbreviations. I would also center the top navigation. Looking at it a second time the top navigation is centered but only on some of the pages. "Links" does not even show up on the home page.

The top header picture looks like you had to really stretch it to make it fit. It's not the same size going from page to page. You may want to rework that picture from the original.

Seems you are using tables and you really don't need to for this site.

I think you should add some color to the site and maybe some pictures if you can.

I like the idea for this site as I have always had an interest in paranormal events.

Just my opinions.

Hello,

It needs to have color. It's extremely boring to look at and I'm not interested in your website at all. You might have amazing content but if your website doesn't grab the users attention they wont read it. This is just how I see it. Best of luck.

I agree with the others... it is very plain and simple and not in a good way. I would expect to see a darker style with the whole paranormal theme... Also, the header is very out of place.. doesnt look good stretched and doesnt (to me) go with the paranormal theme.

With a better design, the site could be very interesting

At 800 pixels, the text hangs off the right side, requiring a scroll bar. Not preferable.

There are two -- but only two -- red first letters starting paras.

Consider putting the links to the sections in with the main body text (home page only) -- so instead of those rounded squares with big text on the left; divide the main page into those sections and use short intros and requests for stories and whatever in each section. Break up the substance of the page, and not just the layout.

Your site is ok, could do with some extra work just to really create a great design concept. Your header image is a little stretched and your right nav needs some font styles to make a good design.

I think It is very simple design for paranormal website... no color.. no interesting foto at home page...

I ma say that the site is really plain and simple to me, adding some images related to site will make it more interesting, and some adjustment on the design will do!

The site needs some color, and some padding/white space in the main content area and right sidebar.

Dude, SCARE PEOPLE!!! Put some pictures of ghosts not the adam and eve scene......

Put one of those scarry flash things that makes people jump as your intro.. you could really do it up right and make some money!

It's quite amateurish looking. In this day and age people expect a certain level of graphical and design niceness which you have fallen short of. I advise looking into Wordpress which will take you into the proper design area quickly with an appropriate theme
