Anyone do a quick review?

[Lee]

I'll comment on your forum organization. I would restructure it to where Xanthom Design Community would be up top followed by Resources. I would leave the Marketplace at the bottom for now.

Since this is a young forum, you want the community aspect built first. Give them an opportunity to interact quickly by presenting the forums first.

I also like the colors.

This was quick but I hope it helps.

As soon as my hosting comes back online i will impliment these changes and see what the members think.

Thanks lee

I've added the changes, and had a little change around myself.

The new forum url is Here

Check out the new website design Here

Well, nice update! I really like the flow of the theme and the design. They work together well.

The only thing I can critique you on at this time is to write a small intro to the site at the forum homepage explaining what the site is about and why guests should join. Simply having: Hello There, Guest! (Login — Register) may not be enough.

Consider something you might be able to give away to new members. Things like ebooks, link exchanges, etc. to motivate people to join.

I hope this helps.

Caddyman said about an intro, and place an ad next to it in another topic i posted, this is on my to do list Lee - i'm trying to do several things at once, and i've decided to make xanthom.com into a network, instead of linking it to the .co.uk

I'll probably add this later, once again, thanks
