The colors are fine...bit bland. Over all, the design is rather simplistic. I'm not saying you need images, but for people to have to scroll all over the place to see your content is kinda hard. You have some left-aligned and some centered. Keep one alignment and stick it with.
In addition, your site is poorly organized. It's confusing the way you write the numbers next to the navigation links. Furthermore, I know most browsers don't support WAP, but creating a site exclusively for one browser limits the millions of people who use IE and Firefox instead of Opera - I'm just lucky enough to have all three. In your files section, make sure you say what each file is going to do. People want to know what they're getting when they go to a website, so make sure you tell them. Otherwise, you're just going to confuse a lot of people, the way you did me for a moment. Another thing that bothers me: Just because PHP scripts allow you to capture information about your hits etc. doesn't mean it's exceptionally necessary to have it viewed all the time. It takes up a significant portion of your page. I don't know if it's possible to validate WML or what limitations it has compared to XHTML, HTML etc., but to have a good layout, you have to have a good plan - I would recommend using DIVS for that purpose. So 4/10 - I realize your site doesn't have much content but you have to attract users first. |

yeah maybe i did go over the top with the stats and maybe i will put a link to a stat page instead. I like the layout though with some centred and some not. The reason for the minimal graphics is not every one has a phone with high memory and adding more than that will lose me many visits.
Wap scripts don't descriptions they have instructions if not they are just random scripts. Take a look at some other wap sites lol and maybe try with a phone not pc/opera. Also my page hit it with IE and it will take you to my WEB forums so i don't lose traffic in this way. I can't really tell what the web site looks like as well as you on pc but i think the wap site is nice looking, and have seen much worse. Also i think an average of 600 hits a day is not too bad for 26 days open? With only one ranking advert? Thanks for your comments :-) |

I cant view the site but the forums i can: my suggestions are:
1. The black on the brown for the title bars is near imposable to read 2. The brown title bars arn't all the same length 3. The color scheme is a bit dull and kinda weird on the eyes |

Experiment a bit, maybe change the color of the top links (FAQ, Member List etc.) to white or something lighter then black.)
I suggest changing the background color. Either that or darken it (or lighten the foreground). The text (such as Wap World) is just a little too far to the left. I suggest you move it a couple of pixels to the right. Lengthen the bars so they are like the "Who is Online" bar. Maybe make the "Who's Online" icon just a bit bigger. Basically, like I mentioned experiment with various styles, colors etc. Overall pretty good site: 7/10 |

Well, I registered and think it may be a fun forum to participate in. Unfortunately I am more or less ignorant of this "wap" phenomenon. Last I heard, "wap" was only a racist insult for Italians.

Is it really worth making a Wap version of your site right now? I mean, would people really enter through cell phones and mobile devices? I dont know about the prices of internet through mobile phones in the United States, but I know that here in Mexico it is really expensive.
