A-1 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Hello all. After planning a forum site for nearly a year, I decided to go for php as it was the forum with the most positive feedback from my investigations. Please have a quick look and let me know what you reckon. www.pl4tes.co.uk Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/46390-our-new-site-what-do-you-think/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxic0 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Quite a nice simple site. Two Suggestions.. 1. I think you should change the skin for the forum. 2. On the "Contact Us" page i dont really like the border around the form, you should get rid of that or change it.

JoshF Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I think the colors blend nice toghter, but the overall look isnt too appealing to me.

The Little Guy Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 "cherished registrations number plate chat and discussion forum" That text at the top of the page is out of place, and should either be removed, or moved to a different location.

TheFilmGod Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 It works very well. Good layout. The only huge problem I have with it is the red color. Note that some people have vision problems and red seems to the be the most problematic color. I don't know what this is called, but since you use such a bright red, I wanted to warn you. You can also add a nice black border around the images. The bottom navigation doesn't make sense. You cover up "forum links" while the copyright information stand out. I personally like it. Most of what I said is tiny picks at the design.

tippy_102 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I really like the look of the front page, but the large white box with the "cherished registrations number plate chat and discussion forum" looks out of place....like it's missing an image, bgcolor or something. Skinning the forums to match the site would be nice, but it can be a pain in the butt. A simple solution would be to add the "CherishedRegistrations.net" and car photo boxs to the top of the forum template.

mcspringer Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 The layout is clean and simple. Very nice. However, I would change the red <hr>'s to the darker red that matches the car. Well done.

A-1 Posted October 14, 2007 Author Share Posted October 14, 2007 Just an update. Site is now doing great. Over 350000 hits last month alone. We have now given the front page a more generic domain name. Lots of very popular topics. Thanks for the earlier advice. Check it out at www.cherishedregistrations.net Comments welcome.

moberemk Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 I'd say redo the layout tables and go for a CSS-based layout, get rid of all the text above the header image, and redesign the berlinetto site and forums. But the front page isn't bad. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/46390-our-new-site-what-do-you-think/#findComment-369416 Share on other sites More sharing options...
