This website uses a free CMS, and an IPB board.
Like most of the other things i've done, it's on an old website I have. I'm getting paid soon, so hopefully i'll be able to put in some of that money to my "buying new domains" fund and then i'll have a professional look (kind of).
The skin on the board is based off of another board (I can't remember) Anyway, it's going to be changed to fit in with the rest of the site a bit better.
The majority of what the site is going to have is free template downloads, there will be various other website related things on there.
I'm looking for any feedback on the skin, and if anyone has suggestions on things to improve/add...then let me know.
Not all of the custom images are done yet, but quite a few are.

If creating free templates interests you at all, then please feel free to register and talk to me about contributing, requirements...etc

All feedback welcome. Peace.

Yea, the header is kind of boring. Not really sure what all to do to it though. If you have any recommendations on it haha

Good thing it's not an IPB board site then, huh?

A little too stock for me.

Too stock?

Aside from the header it just looks like a standard install with a color change.

Fair enough, I really hate using other peoples code...so I'm starting this project over.
LINK There's my new template, gonna start all the rest of the code now (will probably keep IPB however)

Tell me what you think please.

I don't think there's any problem with IPB. I actually have a site with a modified IBPortal that has 4 news block that pull the first post from 4 different forums independently but I think the design needs a bit more work. It's like a rework of your other site, toasted flash. I think you should get inspiration from other websites and get a better idea of how you would like your site to look like.

I was trying to get it to look similar to the one using MkPortal, but you're right, it does look a lot like TF.
