Hi Sarpras - very nice idea you have there with your website - I like the concept a lot. Good clean design, I like that too!

The only thing that I see right off the bat is that you are limiting your site to a narrow resolution (looks like the old 800 x 600 screen size) rather than allowing for 1024 x 768, which is what most users are at today. You are losing a lot of valuable space - there is a big blank area on the right and the left of your site which could be put to better use.

For example, instead of having such a looooong page with all the most recent articles at the bottom, those could be in a column on the right or left.

Writer/Author would sound better as Writers/Authors, and Publisher/Webmaster should be Publishers/Webmasters. Enquires should be enquiries.

Unlike the other website that I just review, your website is clean, well organized, the layout and the color schema fit to its nature. The font size is great to an articles website.
I don't like the double lines effect on hover, but that's my taste. I would prefer a font with a dark color instead.
Good work....

As someone who submits articles on at least a semi-regular basis, this site doesn't really stand out as a top-notch article site.

There are a few reasons for this:

1) It's an Article Dashboard software-based site. I don't have a problem with this in and of itself, but the basic skin has some cosmetic deficiencies and you would be well-served to at least customize it so it looks and feels different.

2) You have the most recent articles, but what about featured/popular/really good articles? In other words, the cream of the crop. Put those first.

3) Whooooooooooooooooo aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaare you? Who-ooh! Who-ooh! All we know is your name. Where's the site based out of? What's the mailing address? I know it's only a free article site but a little more info is in order.

Having said that, the base functionality of the site is sound (like all AD sites). You just need to do something to make it stand out and be unique, which is an absolute bitch in the niche you're in.

I submitted an article, and everything seemed to work okay. If you want some more, feel free to take anything from www.adamwebdesign.ca/articles (as long as I get the proper backlink.)
