Review site design comment request

valuehosted · 05-06-2005, 07:46 AM

Hi there,

I was wondering if you guys could take a couple of minutes to check out a new review site and the design.

I want it to convey a professional, authoritive and trustworthy feel; am I succeeding or not? It uses a CMS by SoSoVN.

It is still in the design state so it is not quite 100% finished, but I would appreciate your comments; good and bad.

Thank you so much,

Hi,

My honest opinion is yes it does look professional, well presented and friendly but personally I don't like the colour scheme

Whilst this is down to individual preference, I just think that layout/design could/would look alot better with a different colour scheme behind it.

Good luck with your project

I appreciate that...

I have 4 sites all together...

www.hardwareviews.com (this one is close to complete and the others will be copied over)

www.adminreviews.com

www.perlreviews.com

www.phpreviews.com

currently the latter 3 front page headers are the mainly done; so as you can see they all have a different main color scheme.

I appreciate the comment though; does it inspire trust? If you were to read a review on this site about the Logitech MX1000 laser mouse for instance, content withstanding, does the site itself lend trust to the review itself?

sorry but i think everything loul said is correct, but i also think that is down to personal preference, but hope other people like it for you!

I like the logo and yes you need to work a little on your color scheme

valuehosted · 05-06-2005, 11:55 AM

ok - Is it better with a solid one color scheme like www.hardwareranking.com or www.pdaranking.com.

Thank you guys for your oppinion, I appreciate the input.

Is it just me or does the little yellow logo dude look like AIM's little yellow logo dude?

Try a rollover effect (underline) for your navigation using css.

Nice site. best work.

It looks OK, but it's on the edge of professional. The colors are to bright IMo and the white on the orange is unreadable..

Its getting thier the elements in the header are nice but its a little bit to congested.
