Ferb already completed my review on another forum. ( so it's pointless in doing it again )

@Cyclone, knock yourself out,

Well, since Cyclone quit, and the review was completed somewhere else, I'd say this is resolved yes?

Well, no...

The reviewer thought that my website design & development forum was a promotion forum...

Also, it was a different forum where I got my review from. ( not this one )

So, this isn't completed yet...

Ah. Apologies.

Fixed =D

Cyclone quit, and stuck us with his work so: Review will be completed with 48 hours.

Srry for the mix up.

Sorry for the delay and inconvenience Marc.

This request will be handled by Kyle.

No problem,

My Grading Scale:
90-100 = Flipping A! Nice Work!
80-89 = Great Site, Above Average!
70-79 = Good site, but a little average. Work on It some more!
60-69 = Ish. Horrible. Better do something about your website.
59 and Below = In the words of Simon Cowell “Dreadful. Utterly Dreadful.”

-Generalities (30marks) In general, your website is disorganized. On the main page, when you click the links, the navbar pretty much changes links every page. And when you go to the Tutorial page, it leads to a forum board, which is fine. But when you go to the Reviews link, it takes you to your portal. Which is confusing to me, as that isn’t really the place where your reviews are posted. Also, your navbar and forum navbars are different. It doesn’t really seem like your website is whole, but three different sites at once, counting your portal. I would suggest going over every page, and making the navbuttons all lead where they’re supposed to, and make sure the nav is the same on every page. Also, change your forum nav so it’s the same. [1/3]
-Forum Style (30marks) Your styling on the website is plain, and boring. It looks like you tried to go with a futuristic look to your website, but didn’t quite get the result you were looking for. Also… Your forum style poorly mimics a vBulletin. I personally just don’t like it. On top of the vBulletin mimicry, your color scheme is dull, and the way the grey contrasts with the white is… dreadful. The font used in your styling doesn’t really “go” with your type of website. The font you’re using is usually used with old gothic themed forums. You’re trying to hit that futuristic look, so I would suggest Arial, or Calibri(Body). Scrap the style, and completely redesign the website, so it’s more organized, and better flowing. [.7/2]
-Usergroups (20marks) You’re usergroups are short and to the point, but the Moderator, Member, and Premium member groups color are fairly similar. I would change those to add more distinction from the three. [1.9/2]
-Forum Activity (20marks) Very active. Newest posts made within the last three days, and you have a high amount of online users. Advertise though, because it could be a lot more active. [1.7/2]

All in All: 5.3/10 = [53/100] Well… Read my grading scale ^.^

Completed.

Wow. The first part hurt... even for me.

Anyway... Completed.
30 BP deducted.



Kyle, please use the "awaiting deduction" picture when you edit the topic icon. Thanks.

Well, it didn't really hurt me, lol.

A few days ago, I've started working on a new theme. I'm lacking a group of graphic designers, so the theme is slowly being developed,

Also, my HTML pages are a little low at the moment so I have to use those pages wisely...

Thanks for the review, Kyle. ( I like how you review / you can even make the reviewers staff position on my forum, lol )

Sorry about that Cafetin.. There aren't any staff protocols in the staff board, so I'm just flying high here, xD.

Anyway, I'm going to close it since the points are deducted, and Marc has posted that he's satisfied.

PS: Marc, I tried to PM you, but you don't accept Pms...
