Another webmaster site. Already too many, why not 1 more? Smiling Jking

- You need more of a logo. The current one just isn't doing it. You should have more than just the plain text, something that people will remember your site by. Go to the Jobs and Barter area if you can't make graphics. I have seen people posting the past few days saying they would make free graphics and stuff.

- You also need more color. It looks rather, plain in my opinion.

- Those buttons on the left are hard to read. I am on a high resolution. Maybe that's the problem. Make them bigger or bring out the text more.

- I like how you have the translation into different languages. That's a nice touch. Get people from all around the world even if they don't speak english they can still understand the site.

- I also like the design. It's very good. Just needs more color like I said earlier.

All in all it looks pretty good. You have a few changes that need to be made and then it will be looking great.

This would probably look fine at a small resolution, but at 1024 it looks rather bare (and I imagine that most webmaster types are using at least 800 x 600). I think that you should make all of those graphic buttons bigger.

You've done a good job with the content IMHO - It's good that you are writing a lot of your own articles and are providing links for the stuff you don't cover through your directory. You're covering all the bases one way or another.

I also like the way you've used the thin black lines in your design - especially the little buttons at the top and bottom of the page.

The links to translation service is a nice idea - it would be even better if you could make the entire site itself multi-lingual! (since from reading some of your text it doesn't look like English is your first language)

1) It's hard to read the the text on the menu buttons on the left side. They look "cool," but you ruined them with the font/color you choosed for the text.

2) I agree, more of a logo is needed. Nowadays many companies are getting away with just a text logo, which is ok, but it looks much better with a full blown logo.

3) Overall I get a feeling of emptyness. It's not the content, 'cause that's there. I think it's because you're using too much white. You need to give the site design more depth by adding some dark colors. Try it out and see what happens.

Frontpage. Yuck! Smiling Overall the site needs some work...

Thank you for your comments so far. The design can be changed, but not to soon because it is not good to change everything every month Smiling certainly not for my spare time.

Any more comments?

You icons are hard to read. The best test, is to stand
one foot back from your computer chair, and then see
if you can read your icons, e.g templates...it's hard
with your site.

By the way, under the domains section of your site, you
could add a resource to get dot coms for $10.95/year.
