Me and my friend are making a site called PublicBelief.com, it is a polling and opinions site where users can go to vote on polls regarding the most contreversial topics. In addition to voting and viewing results they can choose topics which contains polls only about that topic and post their own opinions/arguments on the polls.
The layout that I have in mind right now is kind of similiar to this sites layout. It would have a big banner at the top with a login on the right which turns into a member control panel when u login. In the middle of the banner would be the different links to the different places on the site as polls, opinions, contact, etc and of course on the left would be the logo. Below that would be the top 5 or 6 most popular polls on the site each taking up a rectangular box and listed horizontally. Below that would probably be a list of categories listed horizontally and below that would be a vbulletin like list of the topics/individual polls which the users could click on to view a list of users opinions/arguments and post their own (also in a vbulletin like style).
How does this sound to you guys?
Any suggestions/comments/critisms are appreciated.
BTW the current site layout is just for me to test my asp scripts.
