You asked me for a review earlier so I'll post it here instead of PMing you so people can agree or disagree.
Main Index
Main start get's redirected to
http://ambitionstudio.com/home/index.html
I've no idea what the hell the site is. All I see is loads of text and one image which is a moving flag that grabs my attention. The urge to close the page is massive but DeLeTeD want's me to review it so I'll continue.
Move the Contact panel under the link exchanges, remove the flag and add facebook, twitter, email images for the links to make it more recognizable and visually appealing.
The main 'Welcome to Ambition Studio' should be max 3 lines if you expect me to read it. The others should all be smaller too as their way to long to read.
Justify all the text to the left not centered and change the font type to a more legible web based one.
Make it really really obvious where you want people to go from here. The link to the forum is tiny and really hidden away in the top left.
Forum Portal
When I click on Forums I'm hit with another portal as if the first wasn't confusing enough and hard to find. I still want to close the page. Loads more text all in different fonts and colors and it's still not obvious where to go from here. The only color and things that move and grab attention are adverts and a calendar which I don't know what's for. oops I'm redirected to register before I've had time to read everything and decide where to go next.
Forum
It's still not totally clear it's a warez site. It seams a bit of everything. Their's warez, (oops redirected) lots of photography stuff, some strange empty events area (redirected again) and a social area (redirected
).
Sorry had to close it. That redirect thing is annoying. If your trying to concentrate on gfx and photography then do that. Having a few downloads for required software is fine. Remove the portal as it looks terrible and isn't needed. If it genuinely is a GFX and Photography then make it clearly obvious and add slideshows and examples to the front index. Have a look at other GFX and Photography sites as they all look crisp, are clutter free and easy to navigate. Have a close look at everything on your site and ask the question 'is this really needed?' Pick what your aiming for and aim for it and don't get lost in the process. If your lost, then your visitors haven't a hope.
Best of luck with it.
