Looking for Comments on my Nearly Done Site

I’ve been talking for ages about this new site I’ve been working on for what seems like an eternity and it’s finally ready. Well, it’s not actually new (it’s an overhaul of this old site) and it’s not actually finished… but I said last week that I’d unleash the beast today whether or not it was done so here it is, in its half-completed glory!

New Site: Working Holiday Info

Bits that I Still Need to Do:

  • Header image – It’s crapola and I need to come up with something better but it’s not at the top of my list just now.
  • Uncompleted sections – The Students, Articles, and Contests sections don’t even exist and the Destinations and Jobs sections are works in progress. The Visas bit is pretty much done but there are some small gaps here and there.
  • Main page – Need to finish bits and flesh it out a bit more but not sure how.
  • Blog – I’ve struggled my way to something that fits with the look of my site but I can’t work out how to get the text and links and stuff to match up. I need to write some posts as well. I think this section will focus on news and contests and maybe some personal observations by me.
  • Forum – I haven’t even attempted this yet but I’ll get on the case this week I think. I’ve decided to buy a vBulletin board for $160 but won’t have the benefit of a ‘one click install’ so have to be in the right frame of mind to want to tackle the installation.
  • Articles – I’ve got a few ideas up my sleeve and just need to sit down and write.
  • Layout – There are some individual pages that I’d like to organise better.

Geez with all the stuff that’s not done it makes me wonder what I’ve been working on these past few months! The visa info has been a mission to compile and my little cartoons have taken plenty of time too.

So I guess I’m curious about what you think of it. Because the thing is only half finished now is the time to chime in with any suggestions or criticism so I can fix it up. I’d be keen to know if you think the navigation is set up well and if there are any sections that aren’t listed that you think would fit well with the site. Anything really! Do your worst, I can take it!!
