Review

Owner
The owner of Doctor Who Fans is always attentive on the site's cbox, making visitors feel welcome all the time. They are respectable in all news posts as well, making the site feel warming to guests.

Layout
The layout for Doctor Who Fans has recently been changed and is now delightful to look at. It makes it easy to see what you need to know in a very professional and colourful way, with all the brilliant pictures in the sidebar. The main colour scheme is nice green, with a bit of grey and dark orange.

News Posts
Regularly updates news posts make up the main page of the site. These can be normal Doctor Who related news, or some can be information about the site and its pages. It is all written in the owner's own words and is always understandable, making them enjoyable to read. All posts contain a related picture to attract the viewer to various different pieces of information. Not all news that the Who world spills out is put up, but most main news is.

Spelling and Grammar
All text is written using great English spelling and grammar, finding it very hard to spot just one mistake, throughout the whole site. The text is informative and detailed, making information easy to take in.

Pages
Links can be found to the site's pages in the top of the sidebar, on the right of the site. They are marked clearly, so is not too challenging, hopefully attracting more visitors to the pages. You notice them as soon as you come on, which is great, as they are definitely one of the highlights. Pages avaliable when this is being written are About the Owner, Site Reviewer, Games, Links and Fan Fiction. Unfortunately on these pages, there aren't any pictures or banners, and on the sidebar, there are headings without anything under them, which looks a bit untidy. But I think these might still be moderated. At the moment there is one game, Who Said What?, where you have to guess which character said the quote. There are various different website links in the links page, which would be good to look at, but the Fan Fictions are fantastic. These will keep you occupied for a while reading, because they are very long, which is brilliant! New pages will be put up soon, including Episode Guides to Doctor Who, Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures.

Sidebar
There's a nice selection of stuff in the sidebar. At the top you have the Pages clearly marked. The banner has not yet been added to the site, because there has been a little trouble putting it up, so the pictures for the next episodes of Doctor Who, Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures gives the site a spot of colour. This gives you the data you need to know, if you've forgotten the next episodes. The blog archive gives you the option to go back and see earlier posts, while there is a gadget to tell you how many people are on the site at the time you are looking at it! You can talk in the cbox to other Whovians and become a follower to check up on new posts!

Other Features
Banner; The Banner at this time is not up yet.

atts suggestions
  • Banner needs to be put up
  • A little work on the pages to make them look and feel more satisfying, plus maybe the main page?
  • More Features on the main page
Note - these are only suggestions, which you may or may not want to take into account.

Overall
I think this is a splendid site with strong potential when completely finished.
