My latest theme design, need feedback

[Darthmaul]

Hey all. This is a theme for a client's website, a swtor guild. Looking for some feedback overall. Note, it is still WIP. If you wanted to provide specific feedback in one area the footer would be really helpful.
Here you go:

Love it apart from the navbar and the big text links in the topr right corner 🙂

 

[pandaa]

Yeah, I think the breadcrumb should be aligned to the bottom of that bar. Also, do you have plans for the empty space in the bottom right? Other than that, it looks pretty clean. 🙂

Thank you. Any ideas on how that should look? I thought it was fine but now I don't know D:

I'll see about it. The reason it's up there is that section will probably be two rows as the traditional phpbb layout is. We'll see.
As for that, I have plans for it, but I have no clue on what to put there

This is for phpBB? When I first saw it I thought it was MyBB. Here are my thoughts:

-Align the breadcrumbs to the center of the bar and move the menu links to the bar as well. If needed, make them a tad smaller to fit the links that they need
-Align the raid schedule center in the header to make it more prominent
-Welcome box - for guests only? I would find it rather distracting as a member as it is large and pushes the boards off the screen
-The layout of the boards is not bad. I'm not a fan of fluid (if that is what this is) styles, or styles that are statically wide. Personal opinion 🙂
-I'm not a fan of the bevel on the on/off icons. I think that they would look just as good, if not better, without it
-'Who Is Online' should be made clickable, as in default phpBB. [Full Listing] looks tacky to me
-Split the stats up into two columns. One with the online list, one with the actual stats. This would, I think, make the index page look more organized
-For the footer, in addition to 'Screenie of the Week', you (they) could a 'Guildie of the Week' or something, or showcase the most recent raid items gathered. I'm not sure what the rewards are for raids in SWTOR.
-If they have Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, etc. you could add their social links to the blank space in the footer. Other then that, I'm not sure what else could be put there other then advertising for them to raise money for whatever.

Hope this gives you some ideas on where to go with this. Good job so far/ 😉

Wow thank you so much Patrick, that's a huge help. I'll get to work on that stuff you mentioned, really helpful feedback. +rep

Glad that it has helped you Darth! I look forward to seeing the next preview, if you are going to release it for further review/suggestions! 🙂

 

[Darthmaul]

For sure I will. Gotta finish up the menu area and a few other minor things with the next preview

As long as the client likes it then a job well done.

Any update in this Darth? I am looking forward to seeing a completed/further along design. 🙂

Haven't been able to dedicate much time to this...I can probably put some time in it tomorrow or even later this evening 🙂
