[Gladhatter]

I am not good at it to be honest with you and not for hire as well unless you want a hat to wear that cost more than you can imagine. I do have a graphic artist however that is simply the best. Now having said that he is not the best imaginary artist and is from Romania and so its sometimes a test to translate what one country or culture veiws into what another does. I am not even artistic but he is patient and will take what he thinks you wish and give you 10 versions of it and if you are like me and have to design piece meal as you cannot conceptualize it all at once, then he is your man and he works in the price of the Romanian economy and that makes his work affordable to poor folks like me and a steal for rich ones that pretend to be hard up.

Now you ask so I will tell. I thought you had way too much content on the front page and it should be more a teaser and also something that is coherant and flowing and theme like and then enticing to want them to come in. Then to allow at least limited content on the actual forum is never a bad idea and then you may get more to register. Also you can limit the number of visits, views and much more from your teaser page into the main with a reminder as well as the visits with out post.

Having said that you may hire my wife to get you a concept as she is an artist but she cannot do it then on the computer and you would still need Paul for that and she is also a pet lover from hell and would give it her all. Out animals get better treatment that I do for sure.

You have a noble cause and I just think a more mature theme would be more fitting. I would like to suggest then photoPost and then you choose the stand alone or the vbintregrated one and you would choose the later and you would have a great gallery that all pet lovers would love and you need support so you have to sell products that you endorse or else sell gallery realestate or something unless you have the coin to support it yourself.
