My site is now 2.5 months old and not 100% finished, but i got a dinky little forum going on and managed a couple of interviews with Mikkel Kessler and Carl Froch whilst putting it together.

http://www.LiveFight.com

just interested what folks think? or where improvements can be put in.


Cheers

Gomez

bit too flashy for my tastes, and don't like sites with black backgrounds, they are hard to read and a bit old fashioned I think personally.

Also, a bit slow loading, maybe it's the additional graphical animations.

One question, how are you going to sell DVD's without getting prosecuted, or are you selling commercial DVD's rather than home-made stuff?

Get rid of the shit festival dance track and get some early prodigy, Chemical Brothers or New Order on there... :)

Perhaps its your browser? are you using internet 5 or older? i have run speed-tests on it and its rapid for the content.

I suppose darkness is down to taste - ultimately, i feel that white-sites remind me of a word document. I just tried to do something with a nice density to it. Once you get used to the darker images, its nice on the eyes - i was a little unsure at first on it, but glad i chose the scheme as its a little different.

Revenue is a 'nice to have' and who would turn some dough down? but ulitmately it is done purely for online fans to utilise, rather than extract a quid here and there.... honest guv :D

Hopefully we can do some merchandise somewhere or other, but more of a service rather than a business venture.
