We create a site where once a week (or once a month) a site is chosen for the community to give feedback on. The site is listed and then the community provides feedback on it. We have thumbs up and thumbs down on comments so the site owner (and people reading it) can see what advice people agree with most and what advice they disagree with. That way bad feedback gets drowned out and good feedback rises to the top. So even if you don't have time to provide feedback you can contribute by voting on which feedback you agree with.
There could also be a separate section for developers, designers etc to offer their help. I know sometimes it's hard to know how to make the next steps to improve a site or who to go to to get help this could help.
I don't know what do you guys think? Good idea?

When I first started posting on Ynot 8 years ago there was a lot of people who would post their site name and ask for feed back (site reviews). It seemed to go well in most cases and helped a lot of people out. However, occasionally you would get the person who really didn't want feedback, they just wanted praise and to be told it looked great.
"site reviews" were also a nice creative way to not spam the board but help get exposure and traffic to your new site.
I'd contribute with some feedback if anyone sets it up. No one helped me the first 4 years online, but I don't mind helping others who are receptive to it.
