Content – Very, very thorough. You didn’t miss a thing.
site design – I thought I wouldn’t like it because it’s so busy, but as a portal for everything African American, it really works! I like the way the pictures break up the text and even though it LOOKS busy, there is a definite method to your design. I could find everything I needed, lol.
is it easy to navigate – Yes, for a web junkie like me, I found it very easy to navigate. Like I said before, the pics broke up the text and made it interesting.
what type of content would be great on this site – Maybe an article or a quote from one of the message boards?
is something missing – Not that I could tell at this time, except my banner in the banner rotation spot, lol.
I also like the way the nav bar is at the top and the bottom of the page.
Wow thanks so much for the response Cee Cee, it is really helpful and you spoke to some things I've been meaning to change. I really want the site to be useful like a yahoo.com or something, but I am very used to hearing folks say - 'Wow the site is great, but there is so much content I don't know where to start'. Thats why I've worked so hard on trying to make the navigation easy to use, so it's good to know it worked for you.
Great suggestions about the articles, I definitely need to work on that. For those of us who focus way too much on how a site looks, I often times forget that textual content like articles and message forums are very popular because people generally come online to read or share there thoughts. In todays web 2.0 world, folks don't just want to look at a site, they want to interact. A crucial component the site seems to be lacking.
Glad to here the Banner Rotation is working for ya. Thanks again for the comments, I'm going to put them to good use.
