I wanted to chime in and let you know that per Jadster, your review will be a little late. Something popped up that is outside of his control and thus, your review will take a bit longer.
Rest assured, he will get it done as soon as he can. If you have questions, just shoot me a PM.
Site Statistics
Let me start off the review by saying what an amazing site you have so far. Though young, Feedback Exchange seems to be doing well for itself in its current state. You have a total of 21 members with a total of 364 posts and your site isn't even 1 month old. Though some people may see this as terrible because they could do better, don't let this get to you because your site still is growing and still is showing potential. When it comes to filling up all of the boards that your site has, there is only 1 board that does not have any content in it so far and that board is your FeedbackExchange Tutorials. My only suggestion on that would be for you, the admin, to make a few tutorials to fill up this board rather then waiting for the members to post tutorials. If you give them something to base theirs off of then you will get more tutorials. Overall though, your site statistics are doing very well and I do not see an issue for it at all at this moment. So now let's move onto the 2nd strength of your site!
Design & Appearance
The 2nd strength of your site that I chose is your site design & appearance. When I visited the site I was really drawn to the theme that you are using. The dark & light color mix really works well with one another, the gray, white, and dark blue really did great mixing. The only thing that I feel is affecting the design slightly would be the banner. The icon you are using for the banner is perfect and really works great and the font is amazing but the overall size of the banner is what I feel is affecting it. I personally feel that the banner could be lowered a bit to take up a little less space but this isn't something that is of top importance. That is just a little suggestion I feel you could use to your benefit but the banner still looks nice. Another thing I did notice as well was the color of your favicon image. I like the image as it matches your image on your banner but the color is dark which would look great with sites that have a light color on their tabs but for people like myself who are using a dark colored tab, it is harder to see the favicon. Try finding a color that sticks out on both a dark and a light background so that people can still see the favicon image when they visit your site. Again, this isn't something that is of high importance but it is still something you could consider if you feel it is necessary. Overall, your site design and appearance are doing very well and the theme is very creative and the color scheme seems to work great. So now, let's move onto the weaknesses of your site.
Weaknesses:
Layout
The only weakness that I could pick out from your website at the time was the layout of your site boards. You have a total of 3 categories but several boards in each. Why not make some of the boards a bit more specific and maybe add some new ones and spread them around several categories. This way it gives your site a bit more of a professional look and it will keep the site a bit more organized. One other thing I noticed was that you have your important boards at the bottom and not the top. I feel that boards that you want your members to see all the time and make sure that they are the first thing that they see should be at the top of the site to make sure that they can be seen and don't just blend in with the other boards to be skipped over. Overall your site doesn't show many weaknesses which is great, I just brought up the layout and organization of your boards to give you more of an idea on what you could improve on slightly. Great work on the rest of the site! So lastly, let's wrap up this review with my final remarks.
Final Remarks:
Overall, Feedback Exchange was a great site to get to sit down and review. The site was a very creative and it shows a lot of potential. It is nice to see another running IPB forum as I don't see them around very often. I would have to say, keep up the great work and never give up and I know you will do great with your site! I hope you enjoyed the review!
