Smack 0 Report post Posted April 26, 2007 Hey now unless you work at Ndesign-studio.com don't take credit for their work! The layout was made entirely by them. As made apparent by this little tidbit of info at the bottom of your page: WP Theme & Icons by N.Design StudioIn my opinion, searching through a list of themes doesn't necessarily qualify as "lots of work" no matter how long it took you. Your website seems to be good though and has some decent and plentiful content. Though I've never participated in stuff like this and never will. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â Your website seems to be good though and has some decent and plentiful content. Though I've never participated in stuff like this and never will. Hold on now, I never said I took credit for their work, nor did I say I made the theme. Please do not put words into my mouth. I never said either of those things. Â The content on my site took lots of work and all the tutorials I wrote also took me a long time to write up and edit. Â It seems that's a WordPress blog Script, It has a nice design but I prfer to do the same design in forum too ... you can do it with modifieng the forum's CSS file ...Great idea, I will try that tonight.

Tetraca 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2007 The design is good inside and out. You've got a good amount of content. The only thing left is advertising on IRC, Usenet and various websites. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sniperkiller 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2007 wow that's one hell of a nice site !! it does have a blog look, but still, you can use that theme for any sitethose images for the date are really a nice goodie, how long were you working on this site ?also did you pay for this theme? / made it yourself ? / downloaded it from somewhere ? ^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
reelkill 0 Report post Posted April 28, 2007 (edited) When I first clicked on the page and I seen it.I said to myself, did they use blogger?, and then I checked the web address and thought well if they are paying for a .com then they probably didn't use blogger.I then clicked on paid online surveys and well with the layout you got and it loaded pretty quick. I thought this is the real thing but i did not click on any of the banners simply because I don't fill those out.Nice site though lots of content!

The length of time it took me to work on it ... I really don't know. Lots of weekends and advertising to get it to what it is with PR3.When I first clicked on the page and I seen it.I said to myself, did they use blogger?, and then I checked the web address and thought well if they are paying for a .com then they probably didn't use blogger.I then clicked on paid online surveys and well with the layout you got and it loaded pretty quick.

I don't mind if too many people think it's a blog. That's easier for me to manage and I think it looks better that way. Thanks for the compliments!On a side note, the paid online surveys really do work . Check the Payment Proof. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forbez 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2007 Very professional. I see you went with the simple look with 2 colums. Which is always a good idea. Also works with you website as it is a more serious website.Home page is great, you can see the latest new quickly. You can also see other infomation quickly. Very nice layout for the front page.Paid Online Surverys, I ca't see some of the banners, theya re red. But I think thats something to do with my FireFox. But you have layed them out brillantly. I can look at them and get the information I want quickly.Payment proof would be better if you got the script where it enlarges the image on roll over. Saving the veiwer time having to click. Again you do the simple with the Tutorial page, which I like. I can quickly read the title and read the tutorial quickly. VEry well doen on this page. If it isn't already perhaps use some php script to update it with the new tutorial submitted. F.A.Q Is what it says. Which is good for a F.A.Q page. you get a common question answered. Y0ou should add somewhere, if you have any question please ask on our forums.The forums is what I don't understand. You stayed with the green then moved onto a techy blue. Don;t get me wrong it looks great, but why not stick to the green? You should add compertition on your site to encourage people. BUt something to go with your genre.Overall a very professional website. All the pages are good, forums is good but I would like to see a skin change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
