I'm not sure if you're looking for input on the layout of the website, however, if you are, this is what I have for you.

I think the color blue is a little over used on the website. The use of whitespace is very important for a website to look professional and succeed. If you are to look at any professional website you will see a lot of white or very light grey, especially where lots of text is so that it is easy to read. Remember that people don't care about the design, they want the information that you have.

The javascript code that makes the bubbles appear is highly distracting to the website itself. I'm not quite sure what the website is about from a first glance, however, I am fairly sure that bubbles aren't relevant.

When it comes to promoting your website, you can pay some money for a Google ad, but when it comes down to it, the only thing that can really get viewers for your website is having it do what it's supposed to and having it do it better than anyone else. Just ask yourself why you visit the websites that you visit.

if you really want people to join, the first thing I would recommend doing is getting a domain name that is not related to Webs.com. This is step 1. Step 2: I'm not even sure what the website is supposed to do.. Is it a forum? Is it a help site, Information site? That needs to get straightened out as well. Also if you're looking for just straight member numbers the best place to start is getting your link out there... Forums are a great place to post your link to get people to at least look at your website. Anyways Hope that helps... Cheers

Well, here I don't agree with you. People care about the design, it's true that not in the same way as they care about the content, but they care. An easy-to-be-read website, with a professional design, or a design which is pleasant to the eye attracts the people and offers them the guarantee of a high-quality, organized and accessible content. Content is the king, but it matters how you expose it. This is my optinion.

It's not necessary to spend money on your own domain and hosting, but it's more civilized and more credible to visitors a domain like dresise.com thant dresise.webs.com.

And if you want traffic optimize/organize your content, read something about SEO (Search Engine Optimization) , and if you even want fast results without work start investing some money in advertising your site on Google AdWords or similar programs.

Hey,

Here is what I would recommend. As for the layout, I think maybe your are missing some kind of border or container around the page. As for the color scheme, you need to pick colors with more contrast that are complementary. Check out: http://www.colorsontheweb.com/colorwizard.asp
You can also google color theory and pick a few colors you like, plug them into the color generator and choose the color scheme that looks best. You may want to start with neutral colors like white and gray which are easy to see as background colors.
I also noticed a small box in the top left corner of the screen that is blank. Is there suppose to be an animation there? I am using Safari 3.1.2 as my browser which may not be supporting this plugin.
I also noticed that your mouse-over links underline in white which looks strange to me. Otherwise the site looks decent despite a few color changes needed. Hope this helps.
