Generalities

1. First Impressions (Score:18/20):Soon as I see your forum index, I see good use of welcome message for registration, placement of affiliation button to the menus. I see you’re using simple theme but its glad to see that its so cool and nice.
   
   I see good activity throughout the forum.
   
   As soon as I saw your forum index, I said “Wow”.
   
   It looks simple-professional and looks incredibly good. You have a fine taste in graphic use. Perfect color choices as well and since you have no portal.
   
   I spot good graphical choice, great property dynamic, and loads of content. Everything is very neat and orderly.
   
   
2. Categories & Forums (Score:10/10):The forum looks neat. You’re using a simple and cool theme as said above. Going through the index, I spot that your forum sections are titled correctly and give away themselves without a real need for descriptions, great!
   
   Quantity of Forums: Forum sections are equal in posts. Given the small size of your member base, this is perfectly acceptable.

Forum Style

1. Major Graphics (Score: 9/10):
   Banner-As I said in my opening comments:
   
   “You also have a neat site banner going on.”
   
   The logo attracts to the eye of the user and makes it comfortable. You did a banner with site name area in the middle. Nothing you can do to make people more interested in your site because its perfectly interesting!(5/5)
   
   Navigation Link/Text-The navigation link looks good with icons with them, the icons on the navigation links relate with every name of the navigation links, the other navigation bars namely the 'new topic'&'post reply' also looks good, nothing wrong with your navigation and your major graphics(4/5)
   
   
2. Forum Layout & Color Scheme (Score:10/10):Webartz, this fall’s web designing. The color scheme of the forum is simple; Blue, light gray, and white. It matches the whole web design aspect of your site, you have a different and unique color combination.
   
   
3. Images & Icons (Score: 9/10): The site is dedicated to everything about web designing. So I think you did a lot with your theme. I see a lot of theme now. The buttons, and icons are nice and i do see enough of the theme in the skin or in touches on the board. Consider making your forum viewable by guests then it has no any difference for members. It also shows instantly what your sites about. Going back to the button and theme consider adding themed buttons to your forum statistics section. It helps keep your theme going. As I already said a theme and banner would really tie it all together.

Usergroups

1. Population of Groups (Score:9/10):Participation is steady and members get along very well together. It’s a very friendly atmosphere, and I’ll admit most web design communities are usually inhabited by people who butcher the English language. This isn’t the case on your forum. There are 2 admin, 2 moderators, 1 technician and 1 designer. All seem active and have high post counts. With a board still small I would say more staff wouldn’t be needed. Most of your staff seems active and posting a lot in threads. They for the most part are the main group of high posters.
   
   
2. Staff Groups / User Groups (Score: 10/10):There are a total of 4 usergroups on your forum, nice amount and set of groups, they are also fixed professionally, nothing more to say here. Great!

[size=14]What could be done to improve your forum:

Advertisements: There are no ads throughout the website. Have you considered using link ads such as Kontera? Or Google AdSense? They’ll allow you to place their ad programs where you need it, where you feel you’ll earn some revenue. Additionally, you can check in with your host to see if they have an affiliates program, where you can earn money through check (snail mail), PayPal, or hosting credit for your site, should you get a paying referral.

Overall Impressions: The forum is good so far. The banner could be loads better. A custom theme would be great to see. It’ll make your site unique and different from any other Web Design forum that comes about on the internet. Right now is your prime time to get your forum’s name out there and bring in potential members via any method you can that’s ethical, so no spamming. It may also do your wallet some good to look into advertising programs to help pay for the site. I recommend Google AdSense as a place to start.

The best thing I like about your forum:
The graphics and the simplicity of the forum

Thank you for the submission

Very nice effort Russel Thanks for your participation.

Good Job there Russel.

Hey Sanket, remember i reviewed this forum a few weeks back? Do you still have it?

Nopes, i don't have it. Maybe check your outbox on webartz.

I'll give you a very brief review.

Your forum will be graded in this categories:
-Generalities (40marks)
-Forum Style (30marks)
-Forum Activity (30marks)

______________________________________________________________________________________
Generalities

1. First Impressions-17/20
When i first came to Webartz, i think like somewhere in early January, i saw very nice graphics. Neat and a very casual forum about web designing. So i decided to join straight away. I like the fact you forum is very neat and has no widgets. The banner is simply perfect too:) I like your "About Us" navigation.
2. Categories & Forums-18/20
Sufficient amount and good amount of categories and forums.

Generalities total :: 35/40

Forum Style

1. Major Graphics-8/10
Great graphics! I like the banner the most, the icons are also cool as they bring some life to the forum unlike other forums with black and white colors.
2. Forum Layout & Color Scheme-9/10
The skin is basic yet nice! Its very neat. I would suggest going for a new skin in a month time. I dont really agree with sticking to this skin forever.
3.Images & Icons-7/10
Perfect. I like your affiliate image too:) Webartz have about 3 graphic designers here, they respond well to all the requests and its real nice. I think whenever this forum needs some banners to get done, there is no problem with that. Sanket himself is also a good designer:)

Forum Style total :: 24/30

Forum Activity

1. Post/Member Ratio & Quantity-8/10

Our users have posted a total of 7822 messages
We have 117 registered users
Simple maths, 7822 divided by 117= about 66 posts per member. Good ratio.
2. Users Active-5/10
Members connected during last 24 hours : ankillien, bearville world, Behavior???, Black Cat XIII, BlueSky, Fred100, Green CoW, Joel, MrMega, pimentel2, reave, Sanket, shamzblueworld, Unknown Data, zoids25 (15 members)
15 out of 117 members active. Not good activity if you ask me. You must really think of ways to draw members to Webartz on a daily basis. I would suggest checking the Suggestions section;)

Forum Activity total :: 13/20

Overall Marks

72/100

The Conclusion

Webartz started somewhere in early January. Maybe you could write when this board was started in the "About Us" navigation. I think what Webartz needs the most now is simply members. The posts here are high. Staff all doing good. I think members can boost up this forum a whole lot;) Good luck with your forum Webartz, Sanket! Hope you like this review;)

Generalities [27/30]

My First Impression on your Forum was Very much Excellent.You have put good use to the Homepage message section of the forum.The Skin perfectly matches and blue colour soothes the eyes making members to come back and back again, in fact that's a little secret you should know while selecting forum colour and the Administrators have put them to very Good Use.

The Forum looks very neat with full of activity at the first look and I am sure it makes any visiting guests to register right away.

Professional Webmasters while visiting your forum will know that you have ordered your categories and forum with a professional touch.This is so important because it helps members to easily navigate around the forum and that is one definite plus point that the Staff of this forum has put good use to.However I suggest Renaming the Forum "Suggestions" to something different like "Help Desk" which will allow members to ask technical questions about your forum as well as suggest New ideas to keep the Forum a better place.

Graphics & Layout [29/30]

The Banner Looks very fine and matches well with the purpose of the forum as well as the blue theme the Administrators have adopted.The Topic Icons, the icons for forum looks Very well, I think there is no comments on this part since its very fine and very well done

Staff & Forum Management [15/20]

I am not Sure How many Administrators or Moderator or Staff you got since the Page is not available for Members, but Overall, going through your forum the Moderation Looks Very well and have helped avert any crisis that might Arise.From my Personnel experience The Graphic Designers also does a Very Good Job and is successful in responding as well as completing graphic requests. I don't think we need Technicians here since Webartz doesnt code entire pages upon requests , and going through the activity there is only One technicain that have logged in and this part loses you marks

Forum Activity & Services [ 10/20]

Our users have posted a total of 12203 messages
We have 174 registered users
Members connected during last 24 hours : 50Cent, ankillien, Behavior???, djpurvi, Dreamly, ecosystem, Green CoW, Iros, Jake, Joel, Kratos, Macky, madman, Max, Reave, Sanket, SophieDophs, udarsha45, Unknown Data, Veljko, Zenith, ze_chaofan, zoids25

Upon calculation I found out that the Post Member ratio is seventy, which is an excellent work, but Out of the total 174 registered users only 23 of them are active which totals to be 13% of the total Member Base.This is Very low activity and you need to work upon things which will bring members back. I suggest sending out Newsletters to every member which will bring you back and boost your activity.



What was Most Liked About Your Forum: Though a Primary Skin, Your both Major and Minor Graphics are what was best Liked, keep the Good Work

What was Most Disliked About your Forum:Your Activity was the Most Disliked, because there is definitely scope for improvement in that part
