new poker site - please review

[miguera]

I have a new poker site which is almost done, but I like to have some feedback from other people..

My biggest concern is that the site is to slow because of the images.. I can't see that because my internet is fast, but I like to know if anybody is experiencing problems.

this is my site: http://www.pokerbonusisland.com

i would change the colours to a lighter tone. I find it hard to "navigate" around the site. Also it seems very "busy".

I agree with haynesey. Very hard to read your site. Possibly change the color scheme.

Also, I know it is alot of money if you are starting out, but having a site designed professionally is a good way to go.

I tried to go cheap on my first couple sites and now am wishing I just went with a designer and paid a little more.

Now I have delt with a sub par site design for 2 years and am going to have to pay someone to redesign and transfer the data over to a new design.

If you need a reference, check out Bobi at Top Q. He does great work.

I personally like the site, i love the theme... The only thing i would change is your color schemes, maybe go with a ocean beach scene instead of the brown....

thanks for your feedback!

I have a very bright screen so I think that is the problem with the colors.
I have changed my colorscene a bit and made the colors brighter.
(only the homepage for now)

Is it better navigatable now?

Myself personally here is what I would do,you have two ads that relate to the same thing side by side($75 free at Party) I would get rid off one as the second is taking up valuable space. I would also bump your blog for the road to 100K as this catches people's attention and will make them want to read some of it. Where it is right now you can not see it till you scroll down.

As far as the images behind the tables I would probably go with something more subtle. It seems busy.

Overall a really nice idea and I like the 100K blog.
