I recently redid my website, and I was wondering if anyone could offer me any good feedback. I have to admit I'm not the best web designer out there, but any helpful comments would be absolutely amazing! If there's anything I can do to make it look better (or run better), please let me know. And be gentle. =P

Hi Crystal, nice site you have going there. The first thing that strikes me would be to change the color scheme of the forum. I think the background is great... just the colors.

I must admit though, i'm a bit biased. I don't really like the vb default colors.

You've made some great work for the time you've been open though.

looks good, the homepage that is. when i think "Mercury Ice" i think dark, darker templates, and yours are very light and airy. I like the layout, could go a tad darker in the color palette though. The forum is the default skin, there are lots of place to get free skins, i think that vbskins.com skins are all free right nowe and im sure there are some great one there you would like. check them out.

If you need any help, just ask...

It's not the default skin, actually. It's one I got from VB.org. Unless I accidentally switched it. And our members have the option of changing it if they so choose.

EDIT: Yeah, it's not the default VB skin, lol. I don't know why you guys keep saying that.

Um, I know. "Lineage" is the default skin. That's what Lineage looks like.

EDIT: I was going to show you a screen cap of what I'm talking about, but it seems that there are important files missing, making the forum look like that. So I thank you instead.

This is what I see;

(You should also change your header graphic to include the name... did the skin come with the psd for the header?)

Look at it again.

And there is currently a contest going on for the banner and everything.

I was actually looking more for critique on the website itself, but this is okay too.
