I've had a few of my old sites reviewed here before and all of you have been a great help to me in the past. I'm wondering what you all think of my site The Silo Network. It's a webmaster resource with the usual "webmaster resource" content.

Also, does anyone have any ideas of some other content that I could add up to make my site a little unique?

Thanks..

Hey nuke, i've always liked The Silo Network when i've viewed it from NewEzone, and it hasn't really changed much since then, although i have to say that i preferred your old header to this new one.

Man, your forum is a bit unpopulated, are you advertising this site anywhere? It deserve to take off big time, and i'm sure it will do soon Wink

Oh, and i still don't believe you're only 14 Sticking out tongue

I don't really see what's changed since the last time you posted this other than the picture to the left. What was wrong with the old one in the end. IMO it's too blue and needs another colour to tone it down a bit.

The header is now green which looks ok but doesn't go with the blue

hmmm yeah i had to refresh, i like the green, kinda nice shade and everything. The blue is too bright with that header though.

I've been messing around with the colours but they all look out of place. Anyone have any suggestions??

The blue is ok and so was the green but I think you need another colour with whichever one you choose to tone it down. Orange goes well with both colours

But what does the site offer (apart from what approx 300 other webmaster resource sites offer)?
I'm not trying to be rude, but you must have started with an idea of how this site would be different from all the rest?

Note to moderators...If this is going off the beaten path of this forum, sorry I'll shut-up Smiling

Cheers, Liam

Are you refering to the header image?

Sorry, but aren't we going round in circles here? Isn't this what you ended up with last time this was up for critique??

IMO it's too blue, or at least that blue isn't the nicest shade and it's too spread out at larger resolutions.

I like you design, it is nice and clean. The one suggestion I have is with the top of your page. There is 2 images there. Firstly your logo this is fine although it is very big so takes along time to load, however your second image could this not be done with text to save loading time? Other than this it looks like a good site keep up the good work!
