I thought the colors and pics looked good though I think you need to use your spell checker more often before uploading your site. You need to shorten your main page, even if you're going to add more info later. Most of the pages have too much empty space and the pages take long for loading. Maybe you need more content in center or less ads on sides.

Nice site, but I think it needs some more work.

Hello Kwesi and welcome to webmaster-talk!

I think your site looks really good. I like the colors and graphics.

The site also seems to have tons of content.

Suggestions:

To much empty space in the middle (bottom). If you moved you poll to the left side, it would help shorten it up.

Maybe a little cell padding under "hot topics"

Are the top links supposed to work?

You have some broken/empty images on your hosting page.

I take it that you are still setting up the FAQ page as it is a 404error for me? And poll link. Also the topsites link does not work. There may be more.

Overall the site looks great! I would give it a 7. It would be higher if the techinal issues are fixed. Great Job

Hi Kwesi,

I'm always open to give an opinion or two.

I like the appearance of your site. The layout is good. I'm guessing that the "navigation" look at the top and bottom of the pages is just that, a look? I suggest removing it or making it functional for the main parts of your site. IMO, it's distracting since it's not functional.

There is excessive space on most pages in the center. There's a lot that can be done to make the pages "fit". The Episode page uses more than the rest, so you might want to expand the right bar to fill in the gap.

There are some broken links, especially in the Interactive section. Some have your custom 404 page. The pages appear quickly, but they continue to load for quite some time. A couple of the previews for wallpaper do not match with the one to be downloaded.

The appearance of the site seems to fit the function.

There are some spelling errors and some capitalization lacking. I suggest you keep abbreviations and lack of capitals for the forum or a chat and not on your main site.

It is a nice site and you have obviously put lots of work into it. Keep up the good work! I hope the suggestions help.

I give it a rating of 7.

Dave
