Please review my new car website 2 months in the making

[mrconstantine]

Hi everyone,

This is my new site that i've pretty much completed, the url is . I know its far from perfect, and there is bugs in some areas. I just want a general overview of the concept\idea of the site which is basically a myspace type of site but for cars. I'm now at the point where I want it to start becoming populated... and dont know where to start doing that. I guess i'm more of a coder than a promoter.

Thanks for checking it out
Rhett =)

• White at bottom has got to go.
• Purple links I can't read!
• Google Ad needs to blend better.
• Too many ads.

The Good

• Great use of colors.
• Great idea.
• Fast load.
• Nice deisgn.

Ahh thanks for that =)

Most of the empty space will be filled with top rated cars\random cars etc but I dont have enough on there to do that yet... so theres some empty space around for now. I'll probably replace one of the ads with top rated cars aswell. I'll fix the other things you mentioned! THanks again, any more opinions would be great.

Cheers

First of all you have used a great selection of colours, and you have a nice idea. Also you have a quick load time and a nice lyout/design. However you need to blend your google ads in there as the stand out and mak you avoid that area. Also the Your Garage| Logout should be Your Garage | Logout. Also you need to make that win and ipod and car articles box the same length to make the site look more professional.
I'd currently give it 7/10 but with those things that you replace you should make it 8 or 9/10

+Good colours
+VERY easy and clear to read
+Fast load for its content
+Good gradients (both for the page and the sidebars


-The text in the left sidebar can be more visible, try #cccccc
-The logo (even though its reflection's attractive) is a bit plain. though i may be wrong about this



Overall I think it's an AMAZING job you did. :tu: Keep it up

Thanks a lot again everyone!! I'll make the suggested changes. I really have to stop testing things in Opera... that box on the front page looked fine but its screwed in IE. argh. Im happy to hear its fast loading aswell.. I pretty much learnt php while making this so I know little about optimisation, plus im on shared hosting hehe.

Site review

Hi. First of all, the template looks quite good. Has a wonderful logo, nice colours, the navigation bar looks good, the font is also nice. Second, you might want to make the "Not Registered" text to another colour. It's hard to read it now. Third, the site idea is quite good I think. Third, the content is well-based and clear.

Good luck with your site!

Overall Rating: 9/10

Regards.
