Site Feedback
I started up my site called The Wolf Den. Its a multigaming site. I am still working on it and getting things setup very slowly cause i want it to look good. Problem is, I dont know if it looks good to others. If you could please, take a quick peek at it and give me your thoughts on it.

Basic premise is to have a small to medium sized group dedicated to Arma3. However, we all play multiple titles so in saying that we host and support alot more than just Arma3. Let me know what you think....constructive feedback is needed. Thank you.
Hi there !
I don't play that game, but I figured I could help with some constructive critisizm.
I am, by no means, an amazing site builder. So it's just my opinions -blah blah OK.
First. I love that it's very simple in terms of layout. Easy to navigate to certain areas.. Nice homepage. Simple and to the point.
Maybe it's just me but your logo in that reddish/orange colour clash with that green background you have going on.
You also have 2 donation buttons up. One is for the site -understandable. But the other is just kind of .. there. Either let us know what it's for in an html widget or through it's title or get rid of it IMO. I don't see the point in having 2 ways to get money as any money you would be getting should probably go towards the site anyways.
Your forums can be divided into groups. I don't think your "---->" is necessary.
Overall not bad at all ^^ Good job and good luck!
Hello, I just saw your post.
My website on here is Unrestrainable.com..
I have the paid version of this site. So I am able to do a ton more custom things.
I have never played your game Arma. Things i would change on your site. Like the post above you dont need two donation buttons. Your not using a paid version of the site. Myself I use it cause i like to be able to change things. BUT I DONT KNOW IF ITS WORTH IT.. YOU CAN ONLY CUSTOMIZE SO MUCH AND RESTRICTED ON OTHER THINGS.. Like the popup login screen when people click login. It just doesnt match my site. Same way with the facebook and google icons at the top of my admin bar. I know how to change it all with .css code but im restricted cause i cant change the master.css file.
The color scheme of your is pretty good. I find it easy to see and read. First Glance though looking at the title im not even sure what game or games your site is about unless i start to read. I guess if i knew the game i would know right away from the image.
I would try resizing the background image you have. http://file3.guildlaunch.net/467838/arma302.jpg.. Then i would put it in as an actual header or title image though your admin dashboard under the dashboard ->simple customization -> then click on header.. upload that image,, just copy and paste the link in, or upload your new resized version of that if it dont work directly. Then play with the header height to make it match.
Doing above will allow that image, to stay with the title, and move up with the page. Then i would change your background to like a dark dark green, or black, or try to find some type of camouflage background or other mage that matches your theme.
Thank you both for sharing your advice, thoughts and ideas. This will help out alot. I'll start tweaking right away.
Ok....I went with plan B. This was my backup idea in case the first one wasnt coming out the way i wanted it to. New look, new name, still alot of tweaking to do but I already enjoy this one better than the last, looks cleaner to me. The premise is still the same but with a more universal look. Anywho, as always feedback is awesome to get as it helps me along in this process.

Your new site looks a lot better. Much brighter and easier to see. The colors and the wolf remind me of an arctic type wolf pack tribe. Going forward when and if you do upgrade to the full version and your able to customize your template with .css. I would continue that theme.

Thank you for the kind words on the site. Been working on it all day with still alot of tweaking to do. I will definitely go for the paid version here soon. I can only imagine the type of features on the paid version. I will definitely keep on with the theme, to me it looks clean.
yea unrestrainable.com is what i did with the paid version so far
Hey nice lookin site man! I love the green on it.
Yeah im getting the feeling as I go through this building process of the site that it will never end, like always being in beta kinda thing...constant tweaks, fixes, changes...lol

You can get some idea of what you get with paid versions by checking out the plan comparison page:

Our site was primarily put together using the free version .. paid basically removes the advert and gets more storage, plus more tweakability .. I don't know how the different plans may work with the V5 sites though. Ours is a V4.
