Website Review and Suggestions

**Leopard** · 09-13-2009, 09:31 PM

I just finished working on my wordpress theme that I am giving away for free called videocast.

Review would be very much appreciated.

Check it out at http://epicwp.com/videocast

edit:

And please don't comment on my websites theme, it is ugly and I am fixing it, but this theme is actually very functional and looks good (in my opinion)

Anyone?

It's look good, but you should complete the right column and add more post. That will help people have a comprehensive view of your theme. Cheers!

ok thanks.

**thetoxicmind** · 09-15-2009, 08:12 AM

I like it !

**Leopard** · 09-15-2009, 03:45 PM

Thank you, Just remember, it is free to download ;D

It looks very polished - good job. I like how the news elements are seperated by boxes. I very much dislike blogs which have no seperator of any sort.

You stated how this theme is adaptable to whichever theme, well, I think you should make 2 additional variants of it to prove your point.

Thanks for the review.

Also I took two more pictures and sure they may be in some bad colors (in my opinion) but this is just to demonstrate that any color could be used.

By the way these pictures may be at a smaller resolution than normal because one of my computers is broken and while I am trying to fix it I am using my brother's crappy laptop which is almost like a netbook, but not a netbook.

Okay here are the images:

hmm I'm not sure sure about that. I think maybe the colours are too strong? Try pastel..?

maybe it's the dark gradient in the background that is just clashing with your colours..

It just doesn't look harmonic.

**Leopard** · 09-15-2009, 08:08 PM

It is a hexadecimal color picker, so you type in whatever color you want. It can be any possible color, those two choices I picked were just some random codes I typed in. Those aren't choices, those are just possibilities.

oh ok so yeah, you should definitely add a thumbnail[s] next to your primary to illustrate it.

**Leopard** · 09-15-2009, 08:58 PM

ok thanks for the tip

But i think I will choose some better pictures than those two, the purple and green, because they are pretty horrendous

Nice layout. I like the latest revision, but there are still things that need to be improved. There's a big blank space at the right portion of the page. Will you put something in there?

**Leopard** · 09-16-2009, 04:05 PM

It is widget enabled so it is up to the user to put something there. If you put more archives and all the stuff it will make it much longer.

I think you should consider using a gradient on your background color. Otherwise, very nice.

Thank you for the idea. I may add that in a later update.

On your home page, you have what I now believe is a sample theme template (the image showing the Porche YouTube video... below that there are additional video's listed and the bottom one is truncated (as if there's more you can scroll down to see).

At first, I didn't realize that this was just an image, and thought it was an imbedded section with YouTube videos... You may want to consider putting a border or something around this section to make it obvious this is not a working video section, otherwise people may get frustrated trying to figure out how to scroll this "window" to see the other video clips... (yes, I looked for the vertical scroll bar to the right of this image before I realized that it wasn't an embedded page...lol)

cool work nice review

**Leopard** · 09-18-2009, 04:45 PM

Oh, okay thanks for the advice gstation.

I believe what you are saying is the little thumbnail doesn't link to the video correct?

**ee14** · 09-18-2009, 05:19 PM

Really nice, keep up the good work
