The speed was a bit slow compared to most sites, The layout is nice however its lacking some colors and is very dull looking, it's almost like looking at a black and white website..
I think the templates are okay, they look a lot like the templates that went around on ebay but modified. I highly recommend that you do NOT allow full screen preview like you do, its to easy to steal all those templates.

1. slow (0.5Mbps connection)
2. Didn't like it at all
3. Didn't have patience for them to load.
Sorry :(
Thanks for being open hearted. I am also sorry that it went like that...
i am having a little problem with my php server which is causing the pages to load very slowly...
Hope you check it again later cause it sometimes works perfectly...
Checked it again, and this time it actually loaded very fast :)
On the very bottom, where you have you copyriight notice, the drop-shadow almost covers the text, not good.
If I were you, I'd get rid of the W3C buttons and rather have text links. W3C is good at a lot of things, but their graphics department sucks... hehe.
Your templates look ok, but somehow a few of them gives me a bit of a "Front Page" feeling. But they are clean, fast loading, and looks simple to edit for users.
Personally I am not to keen on having news etc.. in many small scrolling boxes.
I guess you are planning to have a 488x60 banner in the site header, but at the moment it looks very strange with the open grey there. I'd rather make a demo banner containing something like "Your ad HERE?" or something and stick there until you get a rotator or whatever up there.
hi guys,
well i've done some changes to the white space above as you suggested and i am making my own W3C button to replace theirs on my site...
Looking forward for more comments :)
Still loading veeeery slow for me. I'll try again a bit later.
Definately replace the "your ad here" scrolling text with a demo banner of some sort.
I don't care for the "home, mail, links, faq" font that you used - it doesn't seem to go well with the site design. Along with the font them, I don't really like the templatearchives.com font either. Perhaps come up with a logo to use with a bit more color in it, and use the same colors (brighter possibly) throughout the rest of the page to offset the logo, and brighten up the pages a bit.
Hope that makes sense ;)
Templates seem "ok". None of them are really my style, but i think you could broaden the designs a bit. Offer more templates at different ends of the spectrum. Perhaps a few WinXP style templates a lot of people like these days, etc. I couldn't get too far quickly, but are there color options for each template? Maybe offer the same template, but in red, blue, green, etc. (changing the graphics of course to match each one)
I'll post more thoughts when I can easily get past the index page
