P.S. I am aware of the spelling errors in my community forum and the 1 broken link in my chat room. I am working to fix these problems, and they should be fixed by next Monday or sooner...

[weston133]

I have checked over my entire website for spelling errors (with spellcheck from Microsoft Word), so if you spot anymore please tell me...

When my son is available, I can ask him to review your website. He is a great source of honest and accurate information when it comes to website navigation, overall appearance and interest and other important factors. He will be 8 years old next month, but he has been online for 5 years!

My first impression: The index page is black with bold text and NO images. Boring! There is no introductory paragraph, but the text does give you an indication of the site's purpose or contents. It appears to have been written for people who may have been to the site before or know the website owner.

Okay, I don't want to chat since I am new. I clicked the forum just to see how it looked. No action on it (yet). The plain old phpBB probably functions okay, but it doesn't match the color scheme of the website. It was not customized in any way (yet). Boring for a gaming site.

I click to see Free Games and see two choices, single or multiplayer games. There are NO other contents on this page. No logo, no copyright info, no navigation menu, no images or anything other than the two text links. Both visitors and search engines like navigation links. No one should be forced to click the back button in the browser.

I click single player games to see a text list of links to games. There are NO other contents on this page. No logo, no copyright info, no navigation menu, no images or anything. I expected a screenshot thumbnail next to each link. I mouseover or click a link to see all games are direct links to swf files and not links to html pages that play the swf files. Again, I would have to click the back button in the browser.

My son would enjoy the games and he could read the text links. But I think he would expect to see images and would not want to click the back button in the browser. My husband would probably ask me how to get back to the other page since he doesn't surf the Internet much. Most gamers have more Internet experience and may not mind, but it would be nicer to have a consistent navigation links menu for each page. It would also help with search engine indexing if that matters to you.

If you want people to sign up for your forum, you should have a page about yourself that is viewable BEFORE visiting the forum. And contact info.

I have checked over my entire website for spelling errors (with spellcheck from Microsoft Word), so if you spot anymore please tell me...

I won't check your entire site but I did see a spelling error on your forum. See your poll.

The site is not completed yet, so I may comment on things you have planned to change. I can only comment on what I see or don't see. I would have put the games in an html page with Google ads appearing at the top to try to make some money. Of course, the ads would be related to the page contents, so try to include some text on the page. ;)

Tried looking at your page and it sat there for ages before timing out. Will try again later.

Yvettekuhns,
I am already aware of the navigation problems. I am also aware of the boring look...
At this time I am looking for a good looking free website template (I want it to be a flash or swish template). I am trying to find a template that looks like my chatroom or one that can keep somebodys interest (I want a cool look)...
I am also trying to find a better looking skin for my phpBB forum. Pluse I am searching for some good multiplayer games to put on my website.

If you or anybody else has any suggestions for where to find any of these things PLEASE let me know.

Thanks.........:)

[milk is yummy]

no point to that site. none. no need for it to exist. put up a site with pictures of your cats or write down what you do everyday or something. anything.

[invisage]

Tried again today and still wont load up a page. Might want to look into that too.

[Kitchensink108]

The site needs to be more connected, as in, there really isn't a layout, it's just a list of stuff linking to another list of stuff, repeat. You also need to make it clear WHAT the site actually is. Why should people use your site? What is your site all about? etc.

[weston133]

As i mentioned earlier, I am currently searching for a flash template. If anybody knows where i can find a free flash template or one of low cost please let me know.

Thanks...

I agree with everyone else, in that it is entirely disjointed and has no layout. while you're looking for a layout, at least use a light colored background and easy to read text in decent colors, because, honestly, those colors really give you a headache and make you want to leave. You could also try using a simple menu, and a table or two on your homepage instead of a paragraph of text and a bunch of links. I did find a site that sells a very large package of flash templates for 35$ and it lets you preview the templates first. Personally, I think that's a decent price. The url is www.artwebtemplates.us . hope you fnd what you're looking for.
