That site looks like a mobile/wapka stuff.

Gallery? I didnt see a single picture!
I was expecting to see lots of pictures and video clips.
The design is dull.
I think you need a redesign.

Tnks, for Ur constructive criticism, actually, I hand coded the website from scratch, so it is not a wapka site, @lovetinz, I may change the name pretty soon, and you said it is dull, how?

^^ I expect to see more colours, a jazzy logo, and the sort of ambience a photo gallery has.

I dont like being too critical, but this stuff is not enough to call a startup - i dont see it.

@pastormustwac, I'm still testing, I've not made the final release thanks for your criticism, I will keep you posted all the way I really appreciate.

Pls @lovetinz and @pastormustwac, what devices did you guys check it with?

I used different browsers, on IE8 - i nearly died. I used google chrome - much better, tablet too.

Firefox.

I'll change the domain to something that sounds more like a forum for discussing events, not just a picture or video gallery. How do you see it?

I'll do a lot of work on it this nite

I know I need to work on the design, but how do you guys see the idea behind the website do you think it's worth a try?

Your Idea is cool but u need to work more on Your Design

Thanks, I will retouch these things you outlined

More reviews still needed. Do you think the idea is worth the risks ahead.

I dont think you should be looking for more reviews again the comments above is just what you will be getting in different words.

yes its a forum but i must not look like nairaland.

The concept is cool for sure but what i expected wasnt the conventional forum-like site.

Its should be flashy, home page should not be just link-texts, i expect pictures and videos

Thanks I appreciate your honest words, but do you think changing the name (removing gallery from the name and keeping the design as it is) will be better or changing the design to accommodate more of images and videos (using the same name), pls do reply.

only a trial will judge but to me if you leave it the way it is, trust me people will look at it as a normal forum which we have thousands of unsuccessful once already, so i think you should leave the name and redesign the site to accommodate the earlier idea you started

look here http://thegalleryeventspace.com/ though its not exactly what you want to do but try to search online for similar site and see the design layout

Thanks man, but I intended it to be a forum where people can share reports, images and video clips of their events, but I could'nt get a good free domain name for the website, so after searching for names for a long time, I made the mistake of choosing myeventsgallery but right now, I'm confused I don't know whether to go with the gallery and make it more of a gallery than a forum, or to look for another name, and still retain the forum-like design. Which do you think is better, that people will really love to use I know you've giving me enough insights, but just this once.

as much as it is inappropriate to have a keyword in your domain name which is not really represented on your site, it really doesnt determine the success of the site to some extent.

like its kinda inappropriate for nairaland to be londonland.com if it was meant for Nigerians but do you think nairaland success can be linked to the domain name nairaland.com?

Its ok to have a cool domain name which represents or define your site, even though it might not determine the overall success of your forum.

so if you have gallery in your domain name and your site has nothing to do which gallery then its just okay to change the domain name, domains are cheap

The problem is, people percieve it to be just a gallery for sharing pictures and videos, ignoring the other aspects of the website.

And you said Start-up right??
