Quote:

Why to post here?

Get rid of the "to", "Why Post Here" is better.

Quote:

The real reason of posting here

should be 'The real reason FOR posting here"

Quote:

we are not here to make compliments!

Make that "we are not here to GIVE compliments!"

Quote:

you will know what and where to fix.

Better would be "you will know what to fix and where."

In the right column under "site stats" - take the "s" off of "informations"

On the "new site" page:

Quote:

If you don't know something about a field

Better phrasing would be "if you need more information about a field"

Quote:

* It's recomanded to add the "www." at the beginning if is not a subdomain

fix spelling - "recommended", however, the grammar of the sentence is not good. "It is recommended that you add the "www".."
would be better.

Delete Site page:

Quote:

the delete process is ireversible

spelling - "irreversible"

Quote:

dates and discutions will be deleted.

spelling = "discussions"

Quote:

[see here why ›]

bad grammar - should be "see why here"

Quote:

you can delete a site that it's not valid,

replace "it's" with "is"

Evaluate site page:

Quote:

We can't consider you know what site you evaluate so you must see the site, with details, in this page.

This sentence makes no sense at all, I'm not quite sure waht you are trying to say.

Quote:

If you don't know something, please read specifications before you post.

Grammar needs some work: "If you don't understand something, please read the specifications before you post" - makes more sense.

Quote:

not considered spam or joke [read more rules].

Should be 'not considered spam or a joke"

Quote:

about the reason of your decision

should be 'the reason for your decision"

many thanks... all done!

PS: as you can see, I'm not an english-man

and my english was just school-learning

**arcel** · 06-16-2008, 05:52 AM

the design is ok... it looks light and relaxing to the eyes. though, i'm not sure why you use the ???, puzzle and the toxic symbol pictures...

**vectorialpx** · 06-16-2008, 10:34 AM

well... is just for the moment. The site is not officialy published... you and another 2 forums know about it. I will change some things

the ??? are for ABOUT and the toxicOpinions is like "don't post here to get a brag"

**Foundationflash** · 06-16-2008, 01:25 PM

English is my forte, as some people here will know, here a few points that have not been made:

Quote:

You can see here evaluators comments, after marks average. You can see upper the graphic of all evaluations.

Should be: Here, you can see the evaluators' comments, beside the average mark.
You can take away the second sentence, and I'd use "graphic" not graphics.

Quote:

Your email entered here will be used only to recive newsletter [if yous subscribe] and if you don't need our mails you can unsubscribe anytime.

Should be: The email that you enter here will only be used for receiving the newsletter (if you subscribe), and you can unsubscribe at any time.

By the way, Evaluation is technically Strengths and Weaknesses, and the Positives and Negatives of the piece you're evaluating. Stating something like "we are not here to give compliments" is off-putting and will kill some of your custom. Opinions are also going to be complimentary or negative.

Additionally, your 5 worst sites may be standard theoretically bad, but in actuality they are the top 5 of the web. Also, your top 5 includes wikipedia. Basing on your worst 5 criteria, Wikipedia would most definitely fit that criteria. This highlights inconsistencies in your evaluation criteria, and makes me think as a visitor, "do they really know what they're talking about, or am I going to lose more than I would gain?".

For me, there is not enough contrast between the green and the white on the sidebar titles.

i think the site appearance is quite good, the design is simple but eye catchy....it just makes me wonder why are you putting some puzzle logo and toxic signs which makes your site look awful!

Moofasa, you're in England... the birthplace of ENGLISH

That should read:
"The most important thing is that in using this website you can evaluate other websites"

**Mooofasa** · 06-19-2008, 06:57 AM

I ignored the plural of website
