Default Review Request

Hi Guys,

Now that all my members are settling into vBulletin, I was hoping I could get some feedback about the site design. I haven't done too much to the default template (and don't want to tweak too much to reduce maintenance). I would however be interested in ideas on how to make the site header and vBulletin header work together a bit better.

The URL to my site is http://www.aussiepythons.com/

Cheers
Adam

Overall it's a clean crisp style. That's all I can really say about it because it's nothing outstanding that grabs you and enduces you to say wow. You've seem to have opted for the same variations of colours throughout maybe add some colour which will bring the style out a little?

Overrall it's not a bad start but it's nothing great at the same time.

Goodluck with your site.

The colour scheme is something we've had since we started in 2001 and so I don't want to change it too much. I agree, a greater variance of colours would be nice, but it's hard to find colours that compliment the green. I will do some more research and see what others are doing in the coming weeks.

If you could work in at least one additional complimentary color, it will do much to make your theme "pop", I believe. I enjoy more subdued hues and tones, so I like what you currently have, only it is a bit monotonous with just the one color variant.

The subject matter is amazing... Not everyday you run into a forum about snakes and they are real facinating... My first impression is that everything is so green I cant really find my way around easily... So much information that I would not spend a lot of time searching around in it. Not because the info is not facinating but because there is so much of it.

My suggestion is that you keep the green as a base color but add some things... especially images of snakes! Snakes are so facinating you have to add more images and less uniform green !

Keep up the good work and it will shine I know it!

Cheers

Don


PS Nanabite..... regarding hard to find colors that compliment green... Shades of brown work great!
