I like that most of your content is within the niche of your site. That to me is always a sign of a successful forum. Most of the time the site is just littered with general discussion stuff. Nice work. 🙂
I just feel like there is a lot of white on the background of the forum. I don't know if any colors or anything would actually work, but it's just a lot of white and it's very overpowering.
I like your site directory too. However, it seems like the link and content within the Directory link is kind of small. Anyway to make it bigger? I'm sure users would appreciate that.
Hi, John!
As I'm a staff member, I can't do official reviews for you. However, that doesn't mean I cannot leave you some feedback.
So, overall, I really like Website Forums. The design of the forum is professional, the content is generally on topic, and activity is decent considering I've only recently seen you advertising. That said, I do have a few suggestions.
Suggestions
1. The logo is blurry, or fuzzy for me. This includes the text and the icon to the left. I'm actually in the process of creating a new one for you to see how it fairs in comparison for you to the current one.
2. While the design is professional, I think it needs some color. Rather, some way to make it stand out. It just seems too plain design wise for my taste. However, that's just a personal opinion.
3. The "Advertise Here" area at the bottom of the forum needs to have a banner as opposed to just text. It really takes away from the forum's design as a whole with such a bland text area like that. Having an actual graphic that says "Advertise Here" would be better overall, at least visually.
We have a Christmas themed logo. What are y'all's thoughts on it? We'll be moving to a full-time alternative after Christmas, and it will be similar to the one up currently.
About the white: I'll probably add some forum-specific icons within the next week or two, so that should help break up some of the white that is all over the middle of the theme.
