speed: for me it's okay.... :confused:

Pretty average.

I don't like how you have a banner-shaped header PLUS the cheatpark affiliate banner.

Looks to crowded and unprofessional.

It actually looks quite interesting and organized. However, I don't have time to do a formal review. This site would probably get around an 85 to a 90, IMO. Some quick suggestions...

- That top bar is unnecessary. I know that you need it to stick your advertisement, but honestly, there's no point in having 2 logos now, is there? Find somewhere else to put your ads.

- I really see only three colors on your entire site (minus the images). I think you should perhaps make the headers of each news article darker. Or something to vary the colors a bit more.

- Some sections missing in Cars and Boats section.

Your site is pretty awesome. For template design I would give you a 97/100 The banner isn't TOO BAD, but it looks a bit unorganized up there. Other than that your site is grerat. I feel as long as your speed is slow, unless you are some picky web designer it isn't going to matter. So Your site is very nice!

[nitroboy]

okay I will completely redesign the header (and all stuff on top) :classic2:

[cheatpark]

You know what I'm going to say NITROboy. Its a very nice site. As other people have said your template is excellent and that should not be changed. Its what you are putting in that template which people don't like that much. Your site needs more content and you should really have asked for a review when it was finnished but nevermind I think we can see what the finnished version will look like. I can't really say much else apart from your site needs more content. Also I think you shouldn't use wbb. Many people don't like its backend. I would change to vbulletin if your banners could cover the costs.

[nitroboy]

tnx all of you for these reviews

cheatpark, I'm using wbb because this version is still free, I can't afford a vBulletin at the moment... and the banners won't cover the costs of a vBulletin coming months

[R. K. Raja]

Nice site, but as everyone suggested, change the header to something better.

WBB is going paid soon, so switch to something like phpBB or OpenBB. vBulletin isn't by any means necessary.

- Not bad
- Loads pretty quick for me, but that is because I got 512k ADSL
- Do something about that large banner, doesn't look too good
- Nice design
- Good design

Layout/Design: 8.5 out of 10

Nice, very sleek design. Only thing is, that the top section is too crowded, get rid of the cheatpark banner completely or replace it with a smaller one
