trying to keep shit simple as possible.

nice job, just one thing ... you have/offer no awareness. I understand the forum is good for that but I mean a place where you will be posting facts. (My biggest bitch is usually the lack of info.)

mkx · 01-14-2005, 01:38 PM

Looks good

Basic_man · 01-14-2005, 01:41 PM

Looks good brand0n ! Hope you gonna add a PICTURES section with lots of juicy buds !

hova · 01-14-2005, 01:46 PM

Looks good!

warlock5 · 01-14-2005, 01:57 PM

Make sure you have an HTML search-engine friendly copy of that so you don't miss out on a lot of good traffic because it couldn't get indexed.

calmlikeabomb · 01-14-2005, 02:02 PM

Looks good man.

One suggestion.... as warlock mentioned the search engines wont be able to navigate that flash file. You should make a site map link below it.

Manowar · 01-14-2005, 02:03 PM

looks great brand0n

esluts · 01-14-2005, 02:18 PM

looks good

brand0n · 01-14-2005, 02:28 PM

html version for se eh? ok.

sickkittens · 01-14-2005, 02:29 PM

Not bad. I'd rather just stay w/ HTML.

flashfire · 01-14-2005, 02:30 PM

nice domain!! do you sell that legal herbal weed? that would do great

chronic avenger · 01-14-2005, 02:43 PM

dont that look way to cluttered to you?
i want to bottle neck the traffic, and send them to 1 of 6 spots. i think the traffic would be alot more productive that way, and my sponsors, and advertisers would end up with better conversions.

As a surfer, I like as much possible info in one place as possible. So long as it's easy to navigate.

If what you have there is just a hub or filter that then leads to the actual portal of information...then you're most definitely on the right track.

Jace · 01-14-2005, 03:25 PM

i have to agree with candyflip, if I am coming to a site that I know has 6 things, i would rather see all of those with little blurbs from each on the front page...

the hightimes site is a great example www.420times.com is all right too, but he just used the vbulletin community thing

Kristian · 01-14-2005, 03:31 PM

My first impression is that your vertical nav bar needs to be centred. Right now it is about 100/150 pixels too far left. The effect is jarring and a little annoying.

Work on the logo.

brand0n · 01-14-2005, 04:26 PM

kristen, did you click the link above? there is no vert nav bar

wargames · 01-14-2005, 04:26 PM

looks good.

Dalai lama · 01-14-2005, 04:29 PM

hmm not sure, those green plants are funny but they dont look like weed

Brandon,

You know those navigational flash buttons that travel vertically down the screen?

They're off-centre. Too far left.

AlienQ - BANNED FOR LIFE · 01-14-2005, 04:37 PM

Brandon are you the same guy from the Bay Area? I think I know you.
Umm...

He used to own that domain if he sold it or your the same guy cant figure it out yet.

Good point. I've read about studies on how splash pages and pages with more links than info usually turn away surfers.

BradM · 01-14-2005, 08:43 PM

Can I be honest dude? I don't like flash, I'd rather see a nice clean HTML portal landing page. Maybe some articles, some sort of webmd.com style look. With links to everything from there. That's how I always saw the site working.

But I am one opinion in a thousand really.

ahh but one of the valued ones

the reason i went with flash and just 6 main links was i firmly belive in keeping something simple. ive got to keep in mind the traffic im dealing with here alot of the times is mentally numbed. with that in mind, i dont want to loss them in blah blah blah, about news most of them dont really care, or have the patience to read.

i think that if i just cut to the chase, stuff the products that i want to sell down there necks before they are gone it will go over well.

and ofcourse the forum is already very much alive, so theres always the ton of residual traffic so the people that do close the site due to lack of shit loads of information will be covered there.

time will tell

what do you guys think of the free emails? I think thats going to be a big hit. yournames at weed dot coms. setting up an ad supported email client
