www.empyron.com

We are an online creative community. We're relaunching either this week or the following week. We've been open to current members about a month now, needless to say, there isn't a lot of members, but I haven't advertised the place yet.

I would like any compliments, comments, criticisms, and suggestions. Thank you

Not bad at all, very smooth and nicely laid out as far as design in the forum. Although I'd work a bit on the header Your image gallery has some neat pics, i'm sure that will attract people. Might want to get a few people to post within the forums and stuff or consider paid posting just to be able to have more posts in forums since you have quite a bit and that may throw people off, unless they see a fair amount of content within each.

Thanks for the feedback.The header was temporary whilst I sat down and created something. I've updated it now, and no doubt I'll improve it further. I'm sure once I start promoting it, it'll get a good handfull of members to start posting more.

^Empyron is a take on the word Empyrean which an ancient term for the highest heaven.

Thanks for the feedback.

Rethink your navigation..

Having the forum navigation on your home page makes no sense at all, even if it is vBadvanced. And with your forums being a very important role in your community, you would think that there would be a link to them other than in the drop down menu.

Something like, "Home - News (although, home could cover news) - Gallery - Design - Competions - Forums" etc. etc.

Most of the Forum navigation ( new posts, faq, etc ) can be in a sub menu, or some other type of secondary navigation.

"Meet the staff" shouldn't be a primary link at all, and if anything should be put down into the footer. It's not that important, especially to people who return hundreds of times and have already seen the staff line up.
