Exciting! I've knocked together this site, and I really wanna know what you guys think of it.

It's basically a site for schools/offices to visit during breaks/skiving periods because there's games, tools, videos, searches, and a proxy function which should all be attractive to those sorts of people.

The front page is blank because I really can't think of what to put on it.

So in your review, if you may, as well as giving general feedback, could I ask you to comment on what should be on the front page and whether you think the site has the potential to become popular?

Many thanks

heeeeeeeebie.

UPDATE: The site's down for the moment because it's been blocked by my hosting company. Hope to have it up ASAP

UPDATE 2: Site's back up now but some features removed.

I looked at your site and my first impressions were - very boring.

There is no colour scheme and it is very basic. If it is intended for schools/offices (immatures) then I would 'jazz' it up a little. maybe an eye-catching logo.

Your pages also opened up seperately, which meant I had lots of pages open at the same time, you do not want to be filling up somebodies task bar with lots of windows.

Your menu needs to be on all pages, not just the homepage - for easier navigation.

It obviously needs more content, I found very little, but it is a new site, I presume.

Anyway, give the theme a more fun orientation.

I don't mean to be too critical, but it does need some work.

It could be a lot of fun (in the voice of tom fun from Bang Bang Reeves and Mortimer!)Laughing out loud

mandyjb,

  • all of the links apart from the shops and the 'Popular Sites' option open in an iframe on the same page.
  • there's not tonnes of content, but there is some, and as I've said the front page is bare because I'm not sure what to put on it
  • I think the design's quite nice

I visited your site again and it looks alot better. The link to heebie naize is broken, so is the funkware link (maybe you just haven't linked them yet).

The page open now in same window, do not know what was happening last time (maybe my fault).

Site appears full of fun and is very interesting and has alot of content now. (sorry if i seemed too critical in my last thread).

Anyway, good luck with the site. Will bookmark it.
