Hi,
Nice layout, but I think this layout is not suitbale for a portal site!
A portal site, should have more space for contents! My personal advice is that, make three column for the page, put your main contents like news, reviews etc in middle and navigation, sponsor ads and other stuff on left and right coloum!
Further more, colors are OK, but they can be improve.. Overall Nice Work!

What a name

Any wesbite with a domain "don't fart" has to be worth taking a look at.

The names enough!

Hi, if you are going to be the next yahoo, you better clean things up a bit, I know it is in the begining stages, but, when I clicked on it the first time, I just x-ed out of it right a way, then I went back and to review it after reading some of the other replies, way to many colors, way to many links, some of the text is way to small, you have crammed 3-4 pages of info onto 1 page, however, I have book marked your site, just so I can keep up on the site, and see the final out come, I think you are on the right track, just do a "house cleaning" and you will be set, good luck...

I think the color is so overwhelming because everything is so close together. If you used a bit of white space between the colorful boxes I think it would tone it down a bit.

Depending on what demographic group you are targeting a vivid colorful layout like this might work well (with some white space).

However if you are going to have more serious topics (stock, news, weather, b2b, jobs) rather than fun ones (dating, horoscopes, sports, chat) then the colors do need to be changed a bit.

Keep it up, you'll get it.

Whew! I was looking for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!
Tone down those colors a little. The page seems cramped and color abused! The navigation links made my mouse dizzy and didn't know where I could begin!

Hi there,

Honestly... I think this sort of portal style web site is a thing of the past... like fine print on a contract... people have a way of just glossing over portal sites.

Just my opinion

looks great! When are you opening? Looks like a Canadian site..I'd be interested in perhaps advertising/integrating with you.

I must thank everyone for their comments. There has been a lot of good ideas posted here which I will bring together when I start the next sample layout.

I am still in the process of getting more feedback ... more towards my site's target demographics 13-35.

As I have had different reviews (outside of this forum) I have decided to redo the layout and post 2 different layouts and request feedback on which looks the best.

Any other suggests/feedback are still welcome.

Thanks!
Andymac

not too shabby

Doesn't look too bad at all.
It is a bit colorful, but it seems tasteful.
There is a lot there, to where it is almost cluttered, but your layout seems to manage the clutter effectively.

alittle too busy, too many of the repeating "boxes" everywhere. Make the middle standout or be different than the outside areas.
