Me and my partner started a group for entrepreneurs. I have been working on the website for 2 days now. Please review and tell me what you think. All of the top links are up and working except for "contact us" which is the only one I haven't done.

Is the layout good?
Easy to read?
Attractive and makes you want to join?
Simple and good white space?
Fast loading?

I like it so far. :cool:

I like: -

the clear lines of the page
the simplicity of content: your visitors will not waste time trying to work out your site/site navigation,
I like the style ~ distinctive and fresh looking

I don't like:

the forum software not carrying over the page heading, nav menu, site feel etc
the live chat section for the same reason.

Yeah it does suck that the forum at least isn't built in, I don't have the knowledge to do that, but maybe one day it will be. If you open the chat in a new window it'd be alright.

But at least they both have a return to website link.

I can;t see the backlinks and I notice that the home link from the foum takes me to a non-web page.

I still like the look of it though.

Hmm yeah it goes to a directory I need to change it to the actual cgi file.

I found out it only shows the return to website link after you click on a forum topic.

The header background image is quite large, perhaps you can reduce its size?

I see little use for a Live Chat application. Until you have a site with a sizable number of users at any given moment, a chat application makes it feel empty since nobody will be logged in.

The layout and design is good, but it lacks content now so that would be the next step. I only am concerned about the branding, as it doesn't have any really besides a text name.

Also perhaps you might want to consider aiming for a niche moreso than all entrepreneurs, that might help you target your audience better.
