Hasn't this site been up for review several times?

Well, so many things going wrong at the same time is why it rubs people the wrong way.

1. Logo - Hire a designer or just write your website name in plain text.
2. Navigation - Your navigation items are small and not properly placed.
3. Currency - An online store should only be displaying 1 currency at a time, u can then put the other currency's equivalent elsewhere.
4. Graphics and Icons - There are lots of free images and icons on the web, do your research.
5. Typography - Please know when to use bold/strong in a design. You are currently overdoing it.

SCORE : You can do better. Go back to the drawing board.

No more freelancing? Are u going to work for a company ( Microsoft, Google etc )?

Which army come draft a whole you?

Please don't get pissed at my post. Just thought I should help some designers correct their works.
If you are the owner of the website with your meta keywords spanning from line 5 to line 789 or thereabout, please, kindly do something. If you're yet to understand what meta tags are, read them up then if you are yet to know how to use WordPress, read up documentations and be well guided as well.

If you are using a theme for a CMS, please, why not choose a presentable theme Ask people to review your works first before you make it public not to talk about when you are presenting it to a client to hire you. It's annoying so much.

Also mind what you use for your website's favicon. They really matter a lot.

Forums are just installed scripts and can't be taken into consideration as a website design unless you designed a custom theme and want to show it.

Website coloration really matters a lot. If you don't understand what colour goes well with which, you can check online for colour family, etc. You'll be well guided on it.

Be very considerate on the width you use for your website's width. Take into consideration that there are many Screen resolutions available. Read and know more about this if you don't know anything on it.

If you don't know well on how to pull off a good website layout, why not search Google for Inspirational Website Designs and get a flow on how things go. You should like follow a good sequence flow of what should come first then the other and then the other... Make them follow and ordered sequence interesting for clients or website visitors.

If you search for and use a complete CMS developed package like an online store, please ensure to customize very well. You can consider designing a new theme so as to avoid your website clashing with another's design. Don't change just color values and say you are done. That doesn't suffice.

...More to be said but I believe we learn everyday so let these be put into consideration and practice so that more words could be said. Remember once again, I said no Hard Feelings here. I am only trying to position you for the better challenge ahead!

Cheers!!!

Very good advice!

Congrats to the Winners! Hip hip hooray! ( Blows out electric candle )

You'll end up with a job as poor as your budget.

Enjoy.

Try increasing the line-height of the paragraphs. The texts are all too close together and make legibility poor.

Project Website: www.kraftar.com

Designed from scratch as a One-Page Project Website for my design business. It can be viewed on any device, be it mobile, tablet or desktop. The same codebase is used for all devices.

Built with Photoshop, Notepad++, Html, JS and Foundation

Received the 4 Sims through FedEx this morning. Hope things go smoother in the future.

I bought the Huawei Mifi Router from you guys about 2 weeks ago and I have not received the 4 Sims that were supposed to come with the device. I have called repeatedly and explained that it is the principle of you fulfilling your advertised obligation that I am after.

I have bought several items from you in the past and it was based on my recommendation that a family friend asked me to purchase said device on his behalf.

Kindly send the 4 Sims this time around, as I am tired of constantly calling you regarding this particular issue.

Sincerely,
An SSM Nigeria customer.

Put this inbetween the header div and the other div

<div class="clear"></div>

My code removes the unnecessary div between the header and the other div by making "clear" a class of the next div and not a separate div.

Dual Core: put this in your CSS

.clear{clear:both}

Put this inbetween the header div and the other div

<div class="clear"></div>

Even lesser code

<div class="clear" id="nextSection">Put Content Here</div>

I find it suspicious that Nairalist was suspended around the same time Dealfish stepped into the scene

The only thing of value is the land on which the house was built.

UncleJJ: its bull shit. its a theme. If you built the theme yourself, post the .psd file or the equivalent.

A nigga puts up a theme and asks for a review --- up yours

Respect yourself man! Quit displaying an astronomical level of immaturity here! He asked for a review, if you don't like what he has done or have something to say, do it respectfully.

1000GHC per month won't cut it, as living is Ghana is expensive. Lived there for a while, money burns much faster over there.

Expense Breakdown
Minimum amount required to live in Ghana
1. Accommodation - 120-200GHC per month
2. Feeding - 150GHC per month ( goes up every time you go to the market )
3. Transport - 150GHC per month
4. Don't forget taxes. Definitely worse than Lagos here.

You must also apply for residence and work permit, which is another round of wahala as they like to delay anything Nigerian over there.
Also be prepared to carry your official identification documents anytime you leave the house.

And sorry to say this, but most of them just don't like Nigerians. In fact, ask whoever is offering this job to include danger fees because whoever takes that job is going into hostile territory.

guru01: From here person won hammer oo

Yes ke! Man must chop.

If they can afford me , i can jazz-up their website for them. ( Shameless Advertising )

chrishenzo: Doesn't it mean that Seun and His Workers do not not practice what they preach? I thought the average Nigeria believes in democracy.



Refreshing you page cannot increase the view count because your view will be monitored by your username, ip,browser used,time of visit, and most important your computer SERIAL NUMBER.

Regarding the most commented, it can easily be prevented. All it takes is to avoid counting you as the commenter if you are the started of the post. And also the commented won't be limited to some number of comments

As the most liked, simply count the number of users per like. The user cannot be allowed to double like the same thread



Don't tell me that you enjoy the swearing. I know it get some people's day rolling but swearing and cursing can leave some people unhappy.

Not that i love the swearing, but these are some of the things that make Nairaland special. People getting banned,then popping up with a new username, begging to be unbanned, etc.

That concept won't work. The charm of Nairaland is not knowing what u'll see on the frontpage, b*tch*ng about useless articles being put on the frontpage, swearing for m_ds ( u have to blame somebody ) and more. The Digg concept worked way back then, but seriously, sites that used digg then don't anymore.

Vive le Nairaland!

spikes C: Very good man, maybe you can add a few colors to it according to the color scheme of the website and replace the 'L' in kulture with the female figure. Never liked photoshop, haven't really got a hold of it, prefers fireworks

Good idea! Just did that in a hurry. Couldn't stand the one on the website

Just did this in photoshop, because the one on that site is bringing your work down

P.S: If she likes it, show me tha money!!!

On the upside, this concept is much better! It's leaner, cleaner and meaner.
Now for the downers
1. That your logo get k-leg
2. Too much of the texts on the site are in bold. Try and reduce it.

That's my 1st impression, will give u more when i have the chance.

Score: N/A

The quality of your pictures are some of the best i've seen in this section( if not the best). Kudos!
