I like it, Clean, easy to navigate. 1 question I don't see Foxnews. Is this site leaing in one direction or the other? I watch alot of news and as long as this site did not have a bias I would add to my favorites. Also I would not allow the Google Adsence advertisements take over your site. The seem to have the focus of the whole website.

Not bad at all. A nice clean layout with lots of information. It however is not, and this way will never be, international as the translations are provided by Google, and in case you havent noticed, they make little to no sense. Also, the site doesnt seem to cater for Romanians, everything is provided in English and the news are mostly US news. The ro extension is not the greatest if youre catering to English speakers.

The site looks good and is well designed. The Google blocks are good positioned I guess, but I always hate it when the ads are just floating somewhere waiting to be clicked. Define the placements and make it a bit nicer.

A great website, keep it up and best of luck with everything.

Well, it's certainly not bad. Powered by Joomla? Good choice. What I would say is that perhaps it needs more of an identity, more of a logo? The one that appears in your avatar's good, but I can't see it appearing in your site. Also, you've still got the Joomla! logo as your favicon left from installation....you need to learn how to spell "useful"...you've filled the site up which is good. You shouldn't use icons as your navigation. They are confusing and readers have to roll over them to find out what they mean. Navigation should be text links clearly labelled so users can get to what they want, fast.
I was going to leave it there, but

Mate, you just used Google Translator.....slightly confused at the .ro extension, but apart from that that's my suggestions over. Good luck digesting it!

I like the nice clean appearance of the site, nice use of white space, and the consistent use of a red theme works well for the site.

For an web site with a strong international flavor I noticed a heavy concentration of news from the United States. Is that because the site sensed that is where I was geographically located and used that focus the news content? If so good job. Or do you have more news available from there?

I looked at the HTML code and found a few errors that could probably be cleaned up. I used a sytax checker. I won't go into detail because you probably already know about some of them. If you need additional info about what I found let me know.

All in all a good clean job. I wish you good success with your hard work. Smiling

First of all let me thank you for your short review.

Second... what makes it a unique service....
- the primary target is Romanian public and on this market it's the only service that provides new aggregated content.
- questmedia.ro is capable of translating it's content, real-time, in 9 international used languages
- it has a long "to-do" list that includes: multimedia content, more news and information in other languages from national newspapers and user-defined interface. Smiling

Once again thank you for your review and have a nice day.

It's fine - I'm just wondering what it offers that many other sites in the same catagory offers. What makes it a unique service?
