I think you should try and make it a bit more *yours*. The Wordpress theme you are using is quite known and used throughout the web. It's nice and clean don't get me wrong but a site should also have...

It's good for your first work for sure.

One would only argue on using Flash to do the whole site, especially when most of the pages are just plain text.

The good thing about W3C validator is that it is rather self-explanatory. In this case it is implying some tag(s) are not closed properly. From the looks of it seems like your footer div is missing...

Ok, the search seems to work now. The reason I tested with Telstra is that it's one of the biggest companies in Australia and I thought that's what your website did - finds companies. Is the site...

That's a long introduction. I didn't read half of it but I tested it real quick and the main search doesn't seem to work (on both sites). Gives up a server error in application e.g. searching company...

I concur on what has been said about the links (on all pages). I had to do a lot of guessing on what to click which naturally just wasted my time and nerves. Otherwise the design is different than...

Umm... so did you make your own versions of these classic games or selling ones that are available from the Internet (for free)?

Just in terms of the website looks it's pretty much a replica from...

Using stripes is fine, what dtm32236 tried to say is that the stripes you have at the moment is distracting the user's eye away from the content because they are overpowering everything else with...

I wasn't familiar with profile attribute either but it seems to be valid.

"The optional and rarely used PROFILE attribute of HEAD gives the location of a metadata profile. A profile defines...

Fairly good, solid structure and easy on the eye. I feel though that it all blends in a little too much. This is much because of the same colour used as in the background. IMHO the green boxes next...

Actually, it has been here before: http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?t=114912.

What is your role in dmoz?

One suggestion is to add suggested sites to the directory... I've been waiting for approval for a couple of years now. :eek:

I don't see any mention of the 'idea of saving power' on the site. Besides the results it returns seem to be google ads. Probably the reason you are not allowed to put a proper URL is because this...

I had an instant feeling I'd seen that template before and I was right. You did clear it up on the About page but I still feel you could have done some more modifications (even with just colour) to...

I had a hard time reading the site (just looking at the home-page). The reason is that there is too much going on; too many links and options to go to. I would recommend displaying only the essential...

I didn't find the flash that annoying but in general the splash pages are a thing in the past. They rarely add any value to the user, it is just time/clicks wasted.

Looks ok, but not in IE6.

Yes, IE is not the best browser for web designers and developers but it is good enough for most users. That is why still roughly 50% use IE6. Whenever possible we should...

I found the site very clear and to the point. IE6 looked like hell like you said but I don't have an answer for that at the moment.

I am on the other hand very curious as to if you are actually...

I though all the people that start to learn web design today would jump straight into using the current methods but I guess you have to crawl before you can walk.

What I am suggesting is learning...

FYI: "Don't Make Me Think" is about Web Usability by Steve Krug. Not really a book about web design as in 'how to build websites' but is a really good and easy read that will remind you to keep in...

So you are trying to make the new Digg but without Javascript/Ajax/etc. like you state in the About page. God speed.

My suggestions is to make it a tad prettier, add a lot more content so someone...

Just out of interest what made you pick PHP-Fusion as your CMS? I haven't personally touched that one but looking at the heavy tables used on layout makes me feel it's a little outdated (or maybe...

Frankly I don't like the ad placements because I/the user could very easily click on them by accident. I understand you are trying to maximize profit but in reflection I am left with a 'shady'...

rdecourtney, just to educate myself what does USP stand for?

Hmm... well, a demo would be nice for sure. Without it I doubt you will get many signups. I tested the demo from the source (iScripts) and wasn't that convinced. The bad thing is, unless you are an...
