We are an online magazine looking for cars to publish on our site. If members of this forum would like to display their cars on our website please pm me with a link to your car pics and specification.
All cars are welcome, but if you have one (or more) of the following, we are especially interested in your car:
- Modified exterior
- Modified Interior
- High quality photos
- Performance upgrades
- Build up diary
Thank you in advance.
Looking for cars for online magazine
Moderator: martauto
What's in it for me?
It seems that you want us to do all the work and you take the glory/cash.
Perhaps a link to your "online magazine" might encourage some of us to have a look.
Have you been using the internet for long?

There are certain makes (forums) where we are contacting forum members asking if car owners would be interested in sharing their cars and projects with us and our visitors.
We are not a forum and our website is free for use.
We have a large collection of cars, projects, ability to subscribe to a car/garage, ability to share content with forums, easy image upload, challenge & battles, and much more.
Our website is built as an asset for community websites like forums, facebook groups, etc.
Hope it clarifies.

You really aren't doing yourself any favours with this approach.

Well, basics to start with.DavidBlack wrote:You can suggest me for any improvements. Suggestions are most welcomeAltrezia wrote:what a horrid looking site.
Something on the home page that explains what the site is for might be a good idea.
As I asked earlier, have you ever used the internet?

Essentially though - content, design, accessibility, speed.

A) not alot of fixed running/restored/repaired e30's etc
B) A ghost town

dude,
I can give you some quick advise on your site and happy to take it offline if you want a deeper discussion.
point 1 - the scraper you are using for some of your content is inconsistent in styling and usage that your database elements.
point 2 - you are trying to do too much on a single page, split your elements up and use clear navigation and content snippets to highlight what you feel might be interesting content to the visitor
point 3 - always post your content with some context to the page and why you are posting it.
point 3 - your design and styling is not professional enough. Get onto freelancer.com at the least and run a competition for a better design then do some user experience testing on the shortlisted entrants
point 3 - dont try to over personalise, you end up alienating everyone
point 4 - your theme looks like a car supermarket. the stars and ratings don't work.
point 5 - too much going on
point 6 - keep consistent your project diaries and thumbnails don't match any other images. all images and thumbnails should be the same size (this will be fixed with a new design)
point 7 - no clear credibility or proof that it is your own work. all good sites of this type introduce "presenters" you need some journalists to write content and also present the ideas
point 8 - mix it up a bit, BMW owners are also interested in other cars. just like skyline owners, subaru and any others car guys like interesting content. you are not a forum or an image hosting platform stop trying to be all things.
point 9 - the battles are not obvious and are not strong enough without supporting content and possibly owner videos
point 10 - as a new site you should show some metrics on visitors or subscribers to let people know that their cars will get seen
these are just a few quick ones based on a 5 min look at the home page
first thing I would do is talk to your readers and ask them what they want then produce a design brief that highlights that fact first and do some UX testing on the layouts. But you need a redesign.
Best of luck.
