Hi John,

Nice work there mate.
Might I suggest that you try and spice up the skin a bit more, maybe check out a few VB skin sites.

http://www.vbstyles.com

That's the first time I have heard of 'vBadvanced', how are you finding it?

Hi John,

Looks good and I like the fact that its business orientated, there was a long delay with a blue/black gradient, I guess it was just a first time blip. but you might want to check the size of the background, I'm on 8mb broadband I don't usually get delays that long.

nice site though I'll be back to join

Hi John,

may i suggest to put some pictures or images....your site is mostly pure text.

i like the gradient in the background, but it might take quite a while for a 56k user..

keep it up baby... Very Happy

Cheers guys, Ill fix up the background as well.

Im searching around for articles on business (mainly targeting small business). And ill have a look at a few different styles over the next couple of days on my free time

I might change a few colours to user friendly ones in the current style and see how that go's aswell, I prefer cartoon based outlays :p

Any colour combinations you can surgest would be awesome Smile



Cheers,
John

Puppy,

If you are after articles / content, there are many sites that sell or allow you to use their articles.

Hope that helps Wink

Everything seems great except for the colours. Like one of the users said earlier, you might want to invest in a good VB skin. The current look of the site makes it look dull, mundane and boring which is rather sad as you do have some amazing content.

Then again, just my two cents. Good job on the content though!

One thought. The tag/spraypaint font used in the logo doesn't seem to match the site type (business). I'd change this as I think it's a confusing mix.

cheers reviewer..

Some of my time is free tonight so i'll be fixing up a few things on the site:
Colour backgrounds of threads, post's etc
Logo image (maybe)
general color scheme
Content input

I like the skin im using and spent about 2 hours+ searching for one that would look good.. but non tickle my fancy (paid or free) so ill do my best to make this one as clean as possible
