My Website - Your Views

[sa_20v]

Hi folks, just finished designing a Formula 1 site and would like your opinions on its design and layout?

www.Forumula1.co.uk

I'm not attempting to attract traffic, just need some critical views before launching this properly. :)

Is your name Stephen and own a Fiat Coupe?
If yes, hows the gang(Dr Frag,etc) doing?

[Frik]

Sweepstake on how long before you have to close the website for using the trademark "Formula1"?

Edited to make it sound more like a sentence an adult would say.

Maybe an idea to spell the word "formula" correctly, unless this is deliberate.

Isn't Burnt Ecclescake also trying to register the phrase "Grand Prix"? Can't see how that could work, as it's used in many other forms of sport.

Hi and thanks for the comments. Caduceus - i'm that same Stephen, the gangs doing well thanks - although i'm moving from Fiat Coupe to Tuscan land (as soon as I hear from the court this morning - long story)!

As for the site, Forumula1.co.uk is an intentional mis-spelling of the word Formula - being a forum I thought it was apt. Will look into the trademark issue today.

Thanks and please keep the comments flying!

guys, its a FORUM based on FORMULA ONE! the "forumula" spelling mistake is a play on the two words, i know its early but jeez......

forum and lay out looks ok, its hard to say any more given the low level of traffic at the moment... i guess thats the problem you might face, we all have our favourite forums and might be loath to join another without it being busy. i'll try to remember to have a pop in though

Cheers! Not technically launched at the moment, but a few more members/posts wouldn't go amiss.

Others may disagree but I HATE white text on Black. So i'm instantly put off. Sorry.

Hey Munter - great advice, i'm actually developing another 'Skin' for the forum which will include black text on white - you've just given me a hurry up!

I agree its v difficult to read and hugely unatttractive
remember: for best impact with web sites keep 'em simple

[sa_20v]

Ok, following your requests I have changed the forum and now users can benefit from both styles - orange on black (i know, i know) or blue on white (change between the two in the Profile section). )

Thanks again for everyones advice - hope to one day see you on the site. ;o)
