Padgoi Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 So I've been working on this site for a while now with another dude and I was curious about what others thought about it, meaning the design, content, concept, etc. Please register and try some of the features before making an honest critique. Thanks in advance. The URL is http://www.manymates.com. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/58976-please-critique-my-site-honestly/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
zfred09 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 The concept is not a bad idea actually, but the styling needs work. The teal links don't go with the royal blue header, the text in the header is fuzzy, the yellow header text doesn't really appeal with teal, consider a very slight or nearly transparent background gradient or pattern (used improperly this could just make things worse), in general it looks like a website out of the late 90's, it badly needs some modern styling. The coding seems to be pretty solid and the auto-refresh adds a nice touch. Also consider using Google AdSense for advertising as you get started and then switch to setting up ads through you as it may be hard to convince a company to buy adspace directly from you.

Padgoi Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 Thanks for the input, I'm waiting for my google ad application to be approved, then I will put them up. Either that or I will use my wife's google adsense account.

s0c0 Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 The concept is hilarious lol. Design could use some work, this reminds me of hot or not. Haha, way to be original, manymates lol. How do you stop people from cheating though? I guess there is no way really huh? Anyways your design is very simple, but I think thats okay with this site. I've personally never liked black as a background and I'm not sure it fits your site at all. Your site is a very social type site, not a dark disturbed site, and is therefor best represented by lighter colors IMO.

Padgoi Posted July 10, 2007 Author Share Posted July 10, 2007 I'll test some lighter colors. Got the google ads approved. Also, what do you mean how to avoid cheating? If you know someone, you know them. You have to prove you know them by entering either their username or last name so you really do need to know them.
