Default ExplosiveGFX

Site: ExplosiveGFX.com

We're working on building up our affiliates, so if anyone wants to affiliate, wing me a PM.

Anyway, looking for reviews on the site as a whole, things which could be improved, and so on and so forth...

Cheers!

I like the site - I use the same style on another of my websites and really like what you have done with the cat images etc.

The only thing I don't like - and please do not take this personal - is the Donation bar showing to guests, some when visiting the site could see it as just another website hungry for our hard earned money.

I am not sure what you are using for it but normally they have options as to who to display it to - I have it on my forums and only make it show to registered members.

I do however like how you have the DONATE link on the navigation menu to stand out - although I have always hated that color (again no offence to you) it serves its purpose on this occasion it was eye catching and it was the first thing I noticed.

Finally the last thing is your banner - being a GFX website I would expect something bigger and better rather than the default/blank psd that comes with the theme.

However all and all a very appealing website - one that although I am not a graphics designer I will join trying to better myself over all.

It's not really the blank psd, but yeah, I see what you mean...

Another thing I just noticed - I like how on your page you have:

» You have 2 posts and 1 threads.
» 2 posts per day.
» You own 0.16% of the forums posts.
» You are most active in Introductions with 2 posts.

^^^ All of that type of information... I may be blind or dumb but have never actually seen it before and really like it! lol
