    Hello Guys,

    We are working on a news service website. Its recently changed into wp platform. Still not that professional looking. We would like to hear what do you think about the look and customizations and your suggestions as well.

    Thank you very much.

    Your site layout is very clean and easy to follow. I read about 6 different articles. You should proofread the articles before posting. I found a few errors.

    Thank you very much my friend. Yeah, there are a few errors with the submissions. As its beyond our control we could not stop the errors always. But now we are validating pages/posts before approval.

    Thanks.!

    Your website doesnt look good in other resolutions. Some things overlap, like the social media and the feedback buttons. Also, the banner with the cartoony newspaper on it makes it look cheap.

    Other then that, looks pretty good. Good job!

    can you please tell the browser? The css is compatible with FF and IE. But it has reported some problems with mac. Are you using mac??

    Thank you very much!

    I too like the clean look but there is too much space between your banner and the rest of the site...the writing off to the left looks a bit weird. Maybe you can find another place to put it. PS. Check the writing before you post!

    Like I said, it's with the screen resolution and not the browsers. I checked it on a 1024x768 screen. To get the same effect just hold ctrl and use the scrollwheel on your mouse.

    Hello friend. I appreciate your suggestions. Yeah' we are now watching the submissions closely than before. We are not writing the releases in fact. Its from the website owners. Thats why we fail to keep it 100% clean. But now we are looking more closely.

    Thank you very much.

    Thank you very much. But we are planning to transfer the site to joomla to enable more functions - now its on a wp platform. :)

    It looks nice. I like that it's an easy source for news, although I wasn't really feeling any of the stories on there. I would like to see more interesting stories. Also, there was a lot of ads so it was hard to focus on what your site was actually about. The colors are nice :)

    Goodjob! It's way better than something I could've done!

    Nice work but I think it seem's oldish in the way the design seems to be in blocks rather than a more modern lookings fresh site, if that make's sense to anyone?

    Keep up the good, hard work and all the best.

    I love how you have so many articles on the homepage. I don't have to do a whole lot to find an article I would enjoy. It's all on the front! Clean layout too! Excellent job!

    Guys,

    we have changed the entire design. Hope it covers all the minuses now! Have a look and leave your suggestions please.

    Thanks.

    Good work, but you could make some changes also there. The title of the site is not very catchy, and maybe a change in the fonts would help it.
    Maybe a decrease in the number of ads could also help the eye focus on the news more also.

    You should probablu categorise the news better, at least I cannot focus easily on the main headlines, which by the way, should have a larger font and maybe another colour.

    Good work though!

    :) definitely its a good suggestion. Many visitors already pointed out that the header is a little 'too much' I will try to change it.

    thank you.
