Hi all,

Ive recently set-up a new community for dropshippers.

If someone could take 2 minutes to just check the site out and tell me what they think about how it looks, that would be great.

Very visible but a bit to contrasting colours. And not really interesting from the first look. Maybe a mild colour of the background would help. And some more info on the main page to encourage people to stay a bit more there...

Does this help?

Your entry page looks like an affiliate link page. You have adsense at the top and then three graphics that look like banner ads.

The pages they link to look good, but your splash page or what ever you want to call it needs to be changed.

Come to think of it why have that page anyways it doesn't really serve a purpose? why not make http://list.dropshipleaders.info/ your homepage.

I agree that the splash page really needs to go - its bad for SEO and just annoys vistors. If you must, make the most important page the most visible graphic.

Agree the splash page looks like affiliate links.

To be honest I have no idea what a drop shipper is, I know the site is drop shipping leaders but figured instead of looking up it's meaning maybe your site would tell me.
I go into your main page and one of the first things that strikes me is a link to leave your site.
The list page has no heading/logo as such, so if I came there from search engine or other i wouldn't know who you are etc.
On the list page I see the FAQ link, sweet it should tell me what I need to know ... DOH, is a forum faq (and havent even been there yet).
The FAQ page is a totally different design from the first two I have seen (which were also different).
Now the webmaster section, which again is a different layout with no banner or logo. there is a picture of a laptop, is it meant to have a white background or should it be transparent? not a bad look that page.

On to the forums. Ok this page does have the logo but is totally different in style to anything I have seen so far and the colours different, although blue is continued it is a different blue (apart from faq page).
The only thing I have seen continued throughout is the google ads.

I think you need to focus on a theme and continue that theme through the whole site, including the forums. If the forums is your main content then dump the rest and work it into the forums.
Slight typo in forum description: Please read this section ifit's your first visit.... needs a space

The first thing that stands out... 3 giant banners on the start page. It's just my opinion, but I don't think it looks right.

I think you could have a bit more information on the main page about what it is you do... something that will keep people there. Some people will just see the banners and leave.

Also, it LOOKS like a template site. Does that make sense? It looks like a free template with bits stuck in to customize it.

The 'About You' page should contain more information other than a one liner.

The forum is good.
The colours are good.

ALWAYS a work in progress!

It looks a little like one of those, free for all banner links pages to me. I think I would try to come up with a better idea. But that's just my opinion. Laughing out loud
