Your Quick Review



Pros:

- I really liked the overall design of the homepage, Which looks very simple and usable very nice job on keeping the main part of the website clean and nice looking.

- I liked it how you are professional when it comes to making announcements about your website, You make sure that all questions people may have are answered very nice job ๐Ÿ™‚.

- I enjoyed how you have the "Academy" Section kinda like a tips and tricks section, Allowing users to understand and get help for their Final Fantasy games. Very nice addition. I suggest keeping this updated as much as you can because this can be a very strong point on your website.

- I liked how you had little button icons showing each game much easier to navigate like that. Neat idea ๐Ÿ™‚.


Cons:

- When viewing the forums I was stunned because it went from an great style website. To a less exciting forum, I think that you should try and match both homepage and forums to make it seem like your still at the same website.

- I manged to notice even after logging in, I couldn't view the "blog" area why have it showing if no one can use it? Kinda makes your site seem a bit odd and not wanting.

- The only thing that I didn't like on the homepage website is how when your scrolling the words go underneath this image http://eternalgarden.net/images/bottomcurve.png Like so the little white space that separates this image from the bottom of the website, Easy fix. Other than that I had no problems with the website design ๐Ÿ™‚.

- I noticed that some of your pages don't let users see at all like "News" It shows up as a 404 Not Found, My advice to you is not to add pages if you are not going to have them working somewhat right away, As this just makes people not want to join because they think your doing too much at once, And not completing other projects.




Final/General Thoughts:
I really liked the homepage, I thought it gave a cool spin of what your forums & website is about.

What was most liked about the website/forums:
Defiantly the homepage ๐Ÿ™‚

What was disliked most about the website/forums:
How some pages don't work for everyone. Didn't really understand why you had them.. If no one can view and use them.

Final Score : Score - 8.5(Out of 10)

I'm currently trying to get a lighter, more fitting theme going. However, I'm struggling due to SMF's template settings. ๐Ÿ˜› Very good point though!

It's unaccessable? I have no idea why.... o_0 *Goes to try and work out what's going on*

Are you using Firefox? Its the only browser on my computer I haven't managed to get the central area fully working with yet. ๐Ÿ™

Huh!? o_0 You mean the News section on the website or the forum? If its the website that's really wierd, since its uploaded and working... Unless one of the link is wrong. *goes to look*

Anyway, I thank you very much for taking the time to do this review, and for the links! ๐Ÿ˜€ I shall now post in the rating topic.
