gamestoenjoy Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Hi, My site is for free online games. The platform I used was Joomla 1.5 This is the first site I worked with Joomla, and I like it a lot. I would like to hear what you think about it. Do you like the design? What should be improved? Any comments will be welcomed. The site: Games to Enjoy Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/187960-please-review-the-new-site-i-developed/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadabeeau Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 To be honest it look very dated and old. Look at some other games sites or any other sites and make a more new and modern look. I don't necessarily like all of this sites layout http://www.addictinggames.com/index.html but take a look at it, it is much better than yours (not dated look) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/187960-please-review-the-new-site-i-developed/#findComment-992550 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamestoenjoy Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 Thanks for your feedback. I tried to design game site that is simple and easy to use, I don't want my site to be bloated like many game sites I know. Anyhow I will look at the site you attached. If you have specific points about the design I will be happy to hear.

Adam Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 The center content looks overly spacious in comparison to the outer content, which seems completely lost. Add in some margins, give it all room to breathe. The banner looks amateur - perhaps following a tutorial might allow you to create something a little better, detailed, and/or artistic? The color scheme really lacks any energy or character. There's nothing unique or rememberable about the whole site to be honest, nothing that would leave an impression. The URLs really need making "SEO friendly". The small, un-explained envelope in the right corner opens a very rough looking 'tell a friend' form that has no submit method. Apart from lists of games there's barely any text. No 'about' text or anything. You're missing out on a good opportunity to add some keyword rich content in for search engines. The bookmark links in the top left are pointless - if people want to bookmark your page they'll do it exactly how they'd normally do it. I'm not going to even touch on the fact that it's a table-based layout. Not trying to be harsh, take it constructively.

Lamez Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Thanks for your feedback. I tried to design game site that is simple and easy to use, I don't want my site to be bloated like many game sites I know. You can make a decent website without a lot of images. CSS allows a lot of really neat stuff. Take a look at my site (http://www.lamezz.com), I am not the best at making websites, but do you notice something? There is a total of 5 images on the index. The background, the logo, the user avatar, the site statistics icon and the newest member icon. I would try making your website more updated using Web 2.0 concepts. http://www.webdesignfromscratch.com/web-design/web-2.0-design-style-guide.php Hoped I helped.
