iceman,

I visited your site and could not, within 45 seconds, tell you what your site was about or why it existed. It looked like one LARGE ad. I did see your poll asking what I thought of your site. I voted "What the h#ll is this?" When I got back to your homepage, I finally noticed the section entitled "Main Content," but by then I was tired and aggravated.

You need to make it immediately apparent why I am visiting your site and what information I can get from it.

IMHO you`ve installed a portal and thought little to what you have, portals have many parts to them, narrow things down on the portal at first until you`re ready to have them active, try not to activate all in one go, as it will all become overwhelming for yourself and your visitors.

It`s a mess at the moment and needs cleaning up, an introduction needs to be placed and then order to the chaos, sorry to sound harsh, but you do need help here, if you`ve got no ads to run right now, de-activate the function until you`re ready, good luck.

I am new to web graphics, but it was too busy for me. but i liked some of the features and look forward to using some of them.

It looks pretty good, but what does it do? I think you need to bring the main page to a focus. What I mean is you need to make it blatantly obvious why the site is there, and what I can get from it. I looked around a bit, but I'm still not sure exactly what you're trying to do there.

I am not a big fan of portals. I think your site would look better without the style of the portal. It took me some time to find something that cought my attention. I do how ever like some of your content, the games and what not. But I would recomend getting away from the portal style. It can drive some people away, as they do not like the navigation style. I also don't think that the banner at the top "fits" the rest of the page. Its a good design, but draws my attention away from what I am looking for, and then I have to remember what I was searching for.

It looks too busy and not focus on anything.

**JoyfulEvents** · 12-29-2004, 03:13 PM

I agree with all the comments. Its WAY TOO busy and I had no idea what it what about! Clean up your home page and organize to get a better understanding of what your site is really about.

Since it's Nuke, you've modified some theme and that's all. Since I did the same for my nuke driven sites, I know it's some work, but still nothing to review as the design in concerned.

You got to add content and maybe make the spank ... image smaller. Better small and discreet.

Good luck with it

Your site design is very nice. Two things that would really help out: (1) your site is to long in width, that is, 800X600 viewers will have to scroll and they won't like that at all; (2) change the top graphic so it isn't so attention-grabbing and maybe add something to it to let the visitor know right away, "Hey this is what my site is about." Overall though, you've done really well.

The most important thing you can do is make it so a stranger can instantly tell in less than 2 seconds what it is you offer. Games? What kind of games? Flash games that I can play right now? Make that obvious.

Nice site but it looks a little cluttered to me.

**jawfish** · 01-04-2005, 12:12 PM

I think that a webmaster should first concentrate on making a site that focuses on the main topic. Enhance that site and create a rich environment that is easy to understand and full of great content.Then, and only then, place some ads, links, affiliate, etc.

Your site looks like you simply wanted to make money and run ads. The design would not matter, as the content is thin.

**nasaboy007** · 01-04-2005, 08:17 PM

needs a main focus

Good ads and displays, lotsa rich content, but could be a tad confusing at times.
