    Click his name and you get a drop down menu. Click "Visit TomTom's homepage!" and you're there.

    First impression for me is that with so many links and so much text on the home page alone, you're hit with far too much information at once. Looks very professional though...

    well, except the logo there is nothing different when looking on other 100 sites based on http://www.php-fusion.co.uk

    you have to create your own theme , there is plenty info on fusion forum about it

    i was using a different theme but went back as i like that one. I am looking for ideas for pictures and ways to make is look a bit more individual.
    I will remove the bit where you have to be registered to access the mms thing for a while so people can test it.

    One thing I find difficult with sites like that is that it is not clear from the home page what the purpose of the site is. There generally isn't a lot there to make me want to stay or return to the site.

    It looks good but a clone of all the rest of them kind of sites. It seems like everyone has got one these days. I think you need to make it unique. maybe you could make an index page from scratch using your own design, but keeping some of the links!

    Good luck with it!

    Excuse my ignorance, but is that a blog site? I sometimes think everyone has one except me.

    Tis not a blog site, but might add one to it. Cheers for all the feedback. Think I will start with your sujjestion mada and have an origional index or as other suggested make an individual theme for it so it looks unique.
    The idea of the site is just a personal one, but i want to add a few thinks to it to make it a bit more unique. I have registered a domain name (anycraic.net) and i plan on giving away the 100 e-mail addresses that come with it. I want to add mobile features to the site (not as it buy ringtones) for uploading mms to an album, which at the moment works and is cheaper than an mms. I hope to purchase some sms bulk accounts to offer certain services to members of the site. I also will have a mobile equivelent of the site (via wap) so people can check said e-mail account and upload news, blog entries (if i add that) and the like. Its all just ideas in my head atm so i would love people to suggest features for the site.
    At the moment you have to join the site to access the mms and photo album areas but i will change that.
    Thanks for all the help so far.
