Hi,
No issues with the design.
But, in my opinion, you should offer a demo of your product. or, at the least, use it yourself on you site!

I honestly didn't know what your product was when going to your index page. I don't know what it has to do with snowmen either.

I would seriously change the index page so that you don't lose the traffic that goes to it.

Remember, you have about 10 seconds to grab their attention and make them stay. You site currently requires 2 minutes of reading to get a 'general idea' of what you are selling.

Good luck!

The design is nice but Naughty Girl is right. You should provide more information so the user could be aware of what the web site is all about.

I see what you guys are saying. @ Naughty; I chose the snowmen since it's the best fit for it right now. If I can find anything better I will replace it. (look at MyBB, they have legos. ) Anyway, I will do what you suggested in terms of knowing what Grestul is.
Thanks for your comments/suggestions guys!

The design is fine.
In the comments you do not parse the line breaks.
I can type a sentence then hit return 50 times and type another sentence and there isn't even a single break
ie.
"This is a sentence that spans
multiple lines"
But your script displays:
"This is a sentence that spans multiple lines"

Very hard for readability.

use nl2br to convert /n to </br>.

Thanks for your comments. I have previously looked into the nl2br but it won't work with the way Grestul is structured. I do need to change the way Grestul parses things in order to be able to use nl2br. It mainly won't work becuase Grestul uses htmlentities.
Best Regards.

After an hour or so I changed some things in the Grestul software to support nl2br. Now, all your posted comments show the line breaks you've made. Now all I need to do is release a new version.
Best Regards.

Well that was my only personal hangup. Now that it's fixed, I think you have a great site/script there. I'll check it out soon and if I can use on my site I will.

Took awhile to load, might want to check on that

Hmm overall I think it's nice! I like the header (cute)

It looks plain where the text is and the yellow is kind of out of the color scheme

I would change the navigation hovers at the top to something different besides an underline...

I like the background/container, that's my favorite part, the gradient fade.. really nice!

Must of been the connection. I physically looked at my server and it seems fine. I just did a site speed test and it loaded in 0.47 seconds. I'll look into it though, thanks for letting me know.

Thanks. Yup, the header fits perfectly for the site. I couldn't find anything else that would work.

The yellow is a temporary thing, I'm going to put the demo in the navigation soon.

I just finished redesigning the site. I took everyone's consideration when styling it. If you see any problems with the style, let me know and what browser you where using. Click on the link in my first post to view the site. Post up Comments, suggestions, and complaints.
Thanks!
