• Hi! I am building a website which is like a directory but it contains much more features. The address is http://chitwan.info. I am not sure if the theme I am using/working on is very good. Because I don’t have any money online, I am currently forced to use free themes. May be when I will have money online, I am thinking to use the classipress theme later. But for now, is my current theme okay to go? My website is http://chitwan.info. I would really love to read what you guys think. Please suggest me something.

  • I like it. It’s so simple that that’s why i like it. It’s a information site so don’t go too crazy on it. Simplicity is sometimes the best thing (take craigslist for example).

    Five suggestions:

    Make the page wider. it’s 760px wide now, make it around 860 or even 900.
    I like the white background but give your middle a little off white color. Just to have some contrast between the background and the text area.
    Your logo doesn’t stand out, it blends in withe the white background. Make it bigger and more vivid.
    Those little bubbles that come down from the top are kind of cheesy, they belong to a diary website of a 14 year old girl not a town information website.

    Hi thanks man. Sorry for the late thanks giving, but I was working on what you said. You opinion has really revamped my site alot. I am still working on what you said earlier, you may want to check out how it looks now http://chitwan.info.

    Really really alot of thanks again. The feeling of seeing my site of 1995 has now gone and it looks much greater than it was earlier.

    Thanks man, if you were here, I would defnately offer you a beer for this opinion. 🙂

    Much much better. Here are a few more. Your font size is 1.1em make it 11 or 12pt.

    Make that light grey background one shade darker.

    Your logo is still too small (if you did ever change it), also make the logo background transparent and trim it to the canvas.

    I’ll check on your homework later 🙂

    I won’t pass on the beer, once i get to Nepal i’ll take you up for it. Here’s my site http://www.dreamdare.org and you already have my blog address.

    Hi! I have finished designing the website and kinda launched it. Yet there are no alot of contents, but my website contents will be created by users so, kinda it’s done now. You can have a look at http://chitwan.info/

    I had sent you a friend request on facebook, I hope you got it, but I think you did not accepted or something?

    Hopefully, Sushil Gupta

    I’ve been lazy about checking my facebook and twitter, i’ll add you right away.

    The site looks great. I like the justified text as well. You logo needs a little more contrast, make it a tad bit darker. It also shows a border around it in IE, look into that.

    Are you using a plugin for the slide out contact form on your personal site?

    Cheers,

    Chris
