researching websites

ok, im here looking at websites right now...

im looking at 'social group' websites since that's what Redsun's site is really... so far all the sites look SO amateurish...

they all have stuff in common, very static, bad composition...i suppose it's because they are just worried about the information, not the look....

but even though most of them look crap, i think Redsun's site should look more professional, since they have a lot of capital...and there's no rule saying that social group website's have to all be crap looking....if we make redsun's stand out with good design, it's more likely to attract more people...

REACHOUT

Reachout is an australian based service that helps those in need. it even as a help line and stuff on the site, just like what we want. and this site looks a lot better than others (even tho it has a LOT mroe information that what we want on redsun)

SOBER24

this is a support group website for alcaholics. not as relevant, but i like the colours (u said u wanted to use yellow, william?)

====================================

for the eclipse website, i cant really find anything usign the keywords 'rebel' 'society' 'underground'...

so i was thinking along the lines of 'dark' 'gothic'...

i found this forum:
http://www.getphpbb.com/phpbb/index.php?mforum=msprozac
which is really dark and gothic looking.


this site is another gothic site, looks really underground...
http://www.gothicfest.com/main.htm

anywayz, thats all for now

thanks for the links, steph! i like the reachout site... it does quite well to appeal to the target audience (teenagers) although the layout is too packed and busy.... Gothicfest.com is great too... the black color and the thyings they have there - myspace, forum etc are quite similar to what we are looking for...
