Need help with redesigning look and content

[maggarwa]

Please see our website, www.immigrationportal.com. We need some help with redesigning the placement of content as well as the user interface. Right now, some things are hard to find.
thanks

Please, make a different thread about your paid service request in the proper forum, this isn't the place to do it. gio~logist I deleted your post for that reason.

First off, you need to completely overhaul the theme, as the current one (which is essentially the default theme) looks quite bad. Get in contact with a custom skinner. The owner of forum-lance.com does nice work for very reasonable rates. Might want to speak with him. And it is pretty overwhelming in terms of the sheer number of forums. Find a way, possibly though further use of the subforums system, to make it less overwhelming. And for that matter, given the massive amount of info on your site, it might be worthwhile to install a custom page creation mod and use it to make a guide for those new to the process, as the immigration process is rather complex. Other than that, what is key is that given the size and the scope of the forums, that you install adequate staff and security tools. For instance, something like Locked Post Moderation would be worth adding if you currently lack it. Now, if you have specific design changes in mind, it would serve you well to share that information with us so that you can recieve better feedback.

• What's the site about? It's not clear.
• Display is a bit cluttered. I recommend moving some sections away from the forums.
• A new design is needed. Something that is user-friendly and uses color to draw focus. You need a design that is not a "typical" forum style. (NOTE: This should be done on most sections but not all. Why should one section look like a "forum" when it doesn't have to? eg. one section could have a "list" structure while another could have a "directory", "forum", "downloads", etc structure)
• Get a new server or change host ... I'm constantly getting "The server is too busy at the moment. Please try again later."
• The logo is your "brand" however, it's somewhat blurred and hard to read.
