Can anybody who has any spare time have a look at my site and tell me what you think

wizanda.co.uk
Open discussion on all religions and beliefs.

Please post if you have any thoughts on any of the subjects

I am planning on setting it up as a charity soon so any volunteers would be tax exempt

Just need to work on lowering the processor and ram used on the server.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Just a quick review:
- your page is too wide in mozilla firefox and at 1024x768 resolution. In fact, the right blocks are neatly cut off from the screen, and I have to scroll to the right to see them.
- your center block titles are white text on a light blue background, making it difficult to read.
- you have 2 search boxes, one on each side. Why not put them both on the right side?
- your main menu is kinda buried below all the left blocks above it.

Other then that, it looks really nice! Keep up the good work!

Ok 2 Questions:

1: what is the best size to suit most browsers?

2: where do I change the look of the center blocks so it matchs the side blocks? can i added it into the blockcenter.html?

your google search and the msn block are compromising your left column width with ie6, but ok with firefox. i would put these as centre blocks or center-l or center-r.

Fits nicely in my IE6 window (1024). I agree one of the left sideblocks is skewing that entire side. Speed was fine as well.

Speed might be fine

yet my server isn't if i get more then 20 people on my site the server starts struggling

Is there anything i can do or is it just xoops??

Will i need to move my site on to its own powerful server?

Or is there any way to make your site work fast by caching yet with out using all the servers memory in the process!

Plus people have moaned that the site slows there pc down would that be the graphics on my site or having so many modules?

Its been sometime and i have changed, loads of things on my site
I am intrested to hear what you all think, as since you spend all day looking at XOOPS sites, you are the best judges

Any advice on things you think i could improve on my site?

Modules that will make it easier to navigate and any things that you don't like

Please be sincere and I don't mind criticisms as it is the best way to improve??

Nice site, a few remarks:

Speed is just fine.

There are a lot of blocks to navigate,
keeping it simple would increase visitors apriciation.
Maybe multimenu is a good solution?

I find it confusing that pdf books have there own section, whyle the are actualy downloads, why do they have a seperate module?

It is strange that a page about statistics is almost on the top of the menu, the average visitor does not come to your site for that.

My advise is to place the most wanted aspects of your site on the top of you menu.
