Review Request: Free Boards
Hi, I have made a new site, freeboards.tk, that is set to start accepting applications on Jan 1 2004. I am looking for reviews so that it can be perfected prior to full launch; helpful criticism requested:
Thanks,

1. colors - the red and blue clashes a bit, however if u can get rid of the red, the blues arent too bad.
2. General Look and Feel - overall design structure is good, use of space isnt to bad, the top bar and the main site are two different sizes, I would make that consisten.
3. navigation - navigation is good, I like the 3 columns design
4. usability - seems pretty much easy to use, would like more userfriendly language. maybe tutorials. Here im not too sure.
5. Fonts - i noticed multiple fonts, try to use consistent fonts.

Pretty Nice Site overal. The red does clash with the blue as stated above.
-One thing I wouldn't mind seeing is some of the links to be responsive when you roll over them. Like on the Left side of the page.
-Help and Support are the exact same thing and are liked to the same thing. Try to eliminate one of them.
-The title Company is different than your other titles like Support etc.
-Something about the bottom of your pages bothers me. You ahve a little bar there that has a sign up link and then a big huge white space which contains nothing. Maybe try to make it all fit together alittle bit.
-The "Our features" box has text go into the darker background wich makes it look like the box wasn't done right
-The "Our Members" box has arrows all down its right side which I"m guessing is a mistake.
-One more thing. Try to break up the features page because it goes on forever. More than a few scrolls is more than what most people will look at. You could make seperate pages for each section of features or somehowbreak it up.
I know it's alot but they are small things that I"m picking on. Best of luck when you launch the site!

I am getting about a 20 px horizontal scroll on my 800X600.
Not sure I like the all blue text. IMO, a third complimentary color would help -- like for the paragraph headers or for the bold bold text.
Rollover link color change and a second set of plain text navigation at the bottom would be nice.

not a bad site at all. Doesn't hurt my eyes like so many other sites out there. Like the color scheme. Here are a couple things that IMO you might wanna take a look at:
1. The Menu:
- Try a nice rollover effect, its a bit bland right now.
- The two bottom pics seem out of place; remove or add to it.
- The frame is a bit wierd. Maybe cause it just stops at one point
with no particular end...i dunno, maybe its just me.
2. The Terms Page
- too long. Try anchored links, this would make it easier to navigate.
3. Our Members box
- too many arrows. Looks too crowded.
4. There are several pages that have too much empty space at the bottom; check you code.
Overall score: 7 and a little more. Its a very good start.

site looks nice, but there seem to be some breaking on the graphics here and there, on opera7. The menu on the left looks awkward in the above stated browser, and my greatest pick is that everything you try to do, can only be done by signing in, even the example forum. You seem to be trying to force the visitor to sign in, without even knowing how your boards look like..
Take it easy on us.... hahah
