:S ANOTHER design site with a pre-made template, those never end?

 

As ive basically just started doing templates etc, having a bad homepage wouldn't exactly look great.

 

Hope you like it rough!

1. The design you're currently using, far out weighs the design work and talent then the ones you've released for free. Using a premade theme on a design site is tacky, unprofessional, and doesn't send a good message or let users take your work serious.

I know you're just starting out, and it is better than you can currently design, but suck it up and use one of your own. It's a lot better motivator for you to improve your skills if you think your own sites design sucks.

2. I'm throughly confused with all the "Jet Gaming Network" hoopla thats every where. Is it a design site, or a gaming promotion site?

3. Donations module: I realize you're just starting out, but having a donation module always looks tacky and desperate. I suggest getting a few great free themes out on the market first, before advertising you need donations.

4. Your navigation module has 3 links all pointing to the same place with simply different anchor text. Out of the 7 anchors for links there, there are only 3 different pages actually linked to. Repetitive a tad much.

5. A design site, using a premade template is bad enough, but one using a premade template and a shoddy logo is the pits!

6. Your "Search" doesn't work

7. What I assume is a login area (top right) doesn't work.

I realize you're just starting and hopefully this doesn't deter or retard your growth. Take the criticism for what its worth and improve on your site and design skills.

Best of luck
