recently setup a new website/forum for car lovers in the west of scotland


www.vagwest.co.uk


first real attempt at a proper site so wouldnt mind some honest and impartial feedback off you guys.


please dont pull punches i want to know where i'm going wrong ;)
 
Not had a full look around, but think you could make more of the header in some way. It just seems very lacklustre imo and gets lost.
 
Your home page is a bit empty at the moment, so either add some content and photos to add interest, or think about making the forum the home page instead. Making the forum the home page might be beneficial in terms of getting new users anyway.

The logo is crap, the colours are bloody awful, the sub heading under the logo looks odd as it's not aligned to anything, the header image is poor, the content area is woefully underused, the source code is horrible and the coding itself is terrible and the first thing I thought of when looking at the logo was a fanny.

On the plus side, the footer looks ok and the navigation isn't too bad.

Now that is honest, I dont really like the footer either, I feel that it all seems to work with the forum on the page so I second that idea of putting it on the main page.

There are soo many tabs which seems to do nothing and are named page*.php which doesnt look too good.

No navigation on the forum to the main site either.

Sort that logo out its looks pixelated.

Also is there no newer chat software?

Never know what kind of problems its got, maybe an IRC with online client?

It will work its just too big at the moment. GOod luck
 
Your header is terrible, your menus while are working also look terrible. The colours are terrible and the gradient fade in your header makes me want to go and throw myself off a cliff. Sorry; just being honest!
 
VAG = Volkswagen Audi Group, people. It's a car thing.

Cuchulain, not often have I seen a post that cuttingly honest without the name 'Fox' next to it :D
 
Looking at the homepage, about half of my screen is essentially wasted. The header is far too tall, the links beneath it are taking up space when they could easily have been incorporated into the header, and beneath the links there's a turquoise bar that's not doing anything!
