Under Construction Site Reviews
I think there is room for a little growth here at WA to include an area where us new kids can post our sites and get reviews, and then give back with reviews of our own. There's nothing like audience input to help improve a product, especially judging from the unlimited supplies of people asking for you to take a survey.
I've been working diligently on my site for the last few days, and I'm wondering if any of you would like to take the time to give me a review on it so far. Anything that you feel should change, or be added, or especially thing you think are being done well, I'd love to hear about it.
Likewise, if you have a site that's currently Under Construction, I'd be happy to go check it out as well. Just post the link in the comments below, and note if you want the review public (as a reply to your comment) or private (a personal message to you) and I'll follow your wishes. If no comment is made, I'll post it as a reply to your comment :)

Thanks!

Hi Evan, I have to agree with the colors maybe because I,m older but I find it hard to read and a few images should be added. Your moving right along, good for you.
If i want to get my site reviewed do i just put everything on public and publish then enter the link on WA?
Hi Evan - Congratulations for getting so much done.
Here are my thoughts. Feel free to discount anything I say.
1. Images - these need to be added - as they will help to break up your text and draw people in.
2. Theme - I would change this theme. White text (that appears grey) on gunamental grey is one of the hardest combinations for people to read. Black text on white is the most common for the reason it is easiest to read.
3. You write really well and the layout is good. Just be careful not to overdo the 'I's' . On your Getting Started page I think the balance is slightly off and if I had been an actual customer I would have given up before the end. You can overdo the "If you're like me' scenario.
Best wishes Beverley
Hey Beverley,
Thanks for taking the time to give it a look :)
I'm trying to get images up today actually, it's first on my to do list today. So I agree with you there!
I'm also planning on looking at different themes in the next few days to see if I find one that fits better. I liked this one when I found it but I'm sure there are others out there that I'll like too.
And that's something I didn't think of, so thanks a lot. I'll go check it out again and see if I can remove a few of the "I's"
Again, thanks for the help :)

I'm from Canada, where dates are ordered by day, month, year. The date listed is today's date :)
The color palette is good, but why do you have updates as of 7/3/13? That seems somewhat out-of-place.
As the site is still under construction, it's more so to keep me and anyone coming to see and review up to date. Thought I'd throw it there for now until I figure out what I'm going to put on the home page. Glad you like the colour scheme :)

I agree with what others have said about the theme, I liked how it looked initially but when I read on your website, I find that it is hard on my eyes.
What you have written so far sounds really good though. :>)
