So, why can we not directly link to other sites again? It takes up server space or what?

it won't load for you, you have to type it in your browser yourself, sorry wheelbroker, didn't know about that, not advertising or anything, just looking for feedback on how we did

Ok, I'm a web developer so I'm gunna try to be easy, but this is what i do.

Nah I agree with the location info... If someone comes across it from a search - they won't know where you are based...

I like the Gallery stuff, but maybe separate the cars to their own pages. As you get more members the page will take longer and longer to load. Maybe just show a single image of each ride as the link to the gallery for each one.

I don't like the banner logo... It's ok for a place-holder, but it's pretty ugly. The duplication of the logo(?, are the eyes ya'lls logo?) is odd. The text is good, but maybe you could incorporate it with the eyes more.
[EDIT]
AHHHHH... I just saw the forum... That logo.. Use -THAT- I would take off the location from the logo, unless it's like a "franchise" or clone of a larger group. But still make the location prominent amongst the page somewhere.
[/EDIT]

I like the white hilights on the rectangles all over the site.. Looks cool.

The blog page... Uh the News page, it has green buttons, which don't quite compliment the blue that you're using.

Nav buttons could use some love. I think the tabs need a smaller radius or gone completely (Keep the nav up there, and somehow separate it [maybe a bar or something] from the main body). Font needs to be a bit more standard. It's hard-ish to read immediately; makes people kinda get bored having to interpret all menu items each time they want to change pages. If it's easier to read, they instinctively can navigate at a faster frequency.

I like the videos, they are clear which is awesome. I'm going overboard, but I think it would be cool if you did an "interview of a car" type video, where each car was showcased in identical ways. A 360 shot around the ride pointing out body kits, rims, light kits, lenses, springs and struts (if visible) also indicating drop; A short rev session; Pointing out main components in the engine bay (in exact same order each time btw, that's the **** part of me), and then pointing out mods/enhancements in the bay. Then lastly a mini interview (this whole part could be text and not actual video btw) with the owner with questions like: "Year, Make, Model", "How long have you worked on this car", "What was your favorite mod", "Which do you like the least, and why", etc etc.

I think it's pretty cool you guys are making a site for your club though. Hope it goes well for ya.

white tags around the banner on the home page are off for me. looks like it should be moved 1px to the left. I suspect an issue with the Margin/padding bug in IE and firefox. may want to throw some javascript or php in there to detect the users browser and change the page accordingly. I had to do that for a few websites, its quite a PITA.


heres a screenshot: http://nafango.org/pics/importedMinds.png
im on fedora core 7 and firefox, fyi.
