Hey guys!

Would love a review of my site here: http://www.webdevelopforum.com

Please comment on the design. Also, had to make a mod for the sidebar. Apparently there wasn't any for Invision to show the latest posts & threads. Hope you like it!

Thanks in advance,

Sam

Isn't this kinda against the rules of TalkPHP? But anway, yes it's got this smooth feeling to it.

Looks good! Not a fan of rounded corners, but still looks great.

Btw, that's another reason why you should use vB. It's also cheaper.

Couldn't find any rules that said it wouldn't be allowed, however if the admin or a mod feels that it is, please close it. I fully understand.

About Invision, I just love the backend and how it's programmed. Mod wasn't too hard to make/integrate either. Thanks for the reviews so far.

That's really a great design! Oh I love that!

What I do mis though is a little hover effect on the top menu. Futhermore it's just brilliant!

It would've been nice to get a long, detailed introduction to your site. But these days it's much more common just to post a link and say "hey, click it!". As for being competition, TalkPHP is a very niche forum whereas yours is trying to cover a slightly wider area and isn't just "a PHP forum". I'm happy enough to keep the link.

Good luck with it, I might register and post a bit if the site sticks around for a while. Also, the range of forums on offer seem a little restricted for a general web dev forum. I'd suggest a little wider scope: how about the Python, Ruby, etc. discussions; a section for "running" but nothing on servers, hosting, server-management, etc.. I know the place is only new but it just feels a little confused at the moment (in the sense that only bits and pieces of "web dev" are covered) but it's something that will probably work itself out organically over time.

The design is nice, nothing much else to say about it really. The colours don't sit particularly well with me but that's entirely personal choice and the layout/structure is just another forum.

Forgive me if I'm being over-cynical, but having been part of many generic sites that failed, I will tell you that the site is on a failing course to begin with. Here is why:

• Average design at best.
• Name is not catchy and doesn't really make sense. Web Develop Forum brings to mind the way India freelancers talk.
• No activity (everyone has to start somewhere though)
• No unique purpose, many larger forums offer general web dev talk. Members must have a reason to choose you over the big sites.
• No unique characteristics. What separates you from the competition?
• No content. This is why I like TalkPHP so much, it has unique quality content. That is really the only draw a small forum can have.

I'm not trying to insult you, I am trying to help. I can't see this site lasting very long at all unless things change.

Some conservatives have Coach Factory Outlet pushed that critique further, saying that Mr. Obama’s policies are too costly, often assist the wrong people Louis Vuitton Belts and could have the paradoxical effect of driving up college costs. The dispute turns not just on different Coach Factory Outlet assessments of how policies play out, but on differing philosophical views about the role of government. During Gucci Belts his time in office, Mr. Obama has sharply increased aid to low- and middle-income students, notably through the Pell Grant Coach Factory Outlet program, which grew from $14.6 billion given to 6 million students in 2008, to nearly $40 billion for Coach Factory Outlet almost 10 million students this year. His administration also made it easier to request aid, shortening the Coach Factory Online complex federal application and allowing people to transfer their financial information electronically from the Internal Coach Outlet Online Revenue Service database. But while many education experts laud his efforts, analysts of varying political Coach Outlet Online stripes have also questioned how much impact some of the president’s policies will have, noting that the prices Coach Online Outlet charged by colleges, and student borrowing, continue to climb.But behind the headlines about soaring costs, the Coach Factory Outlet Online reality is more complex and wildly uneven, because a growing number of students receive Coach Outlet Online financial aid, and only relatively high-income families pay those fast-rising sticker prices. Adjusted for Coach Factory Online inflation, the College Board calculates, the average net price changed little over the last decade at private Coach Factory Outlet schools, and rose only modestly at public ones.Defending federal spending, Arne Duncan, the secretary of Hermes Belts education, said that for more than 30 years, college prices had risen even when federal aid had not, leading him to believe Coach Factory Online there was zero correlation.

You’ve relativelyCoach Outlet recently arrived in New Delhi after living in two of Asia’s other great cities,Coach Outlet Store Online Tokyo and Hong Kong, for several years. Do these cities feel like they’re part of the same continent? Yes, and no. In terms Coach Factory Onlineof infrastructure, they couldn’t be more different. Getting regularCoach Outlet power and water at my house in New Delhi is never a sure thing, even though Coach Purse Outlet OnlineI’m paying the same rent that I paid in Tokyo and almost the same electricity prices. Both Hong Kong and Tokyo are also crowded places,Coach Factory Outlet Online but both cities are incredibly well planned and efficiently run. Efficient is not a word I would use to describe my Coach Bags Outlet Onlineday-to-day life in New Delhi. On the other hand, one thing that I think Hong Kong and New Delhi have in common isCoach Handbags Outlet a shared sense of optimism — a feeling that the best is yet to come. That’s definitely not the feeling you get in Tokyo,Coach Outlet Online or in the U.S. when I go home. It’s a big part of what I find addictive about living and working in this part of the world. You feel like you’re watching the future unfold.
