@Chase
I have designed over 100 websites to date and so I will share my perspective both as a website designer and also my personal opinion. I will also keep the GirlsChase in daylight mode to give a fair comparison.
Logo
Present Look: I like how the current logo is in the middle of the page.
Mock Look: The logo to the left looks all small and weird, GirlsChase has an amazing logo. I would love for it to remain where it currently is and show the guy with the 2 beautiful ladies on his arms.
Top Icons
Present Look: The current icons look more of a 2010 to 2020 look.
Mock Look: I have seen a trend of websites getting that more animated, material design icon look. I like it. So it can stay. What I would love to see remain is the words under them - Name, Inbox, Alerts. Having the words is just my personal preference. Some websites I visit, only have icons and I have to memorize what they are. Which I hate doing. I am way too busy to be memorizing which icon does what, thats just my personal peeve.
What I do like about the new design is the small dropdown arrow, which makes it more obvious that is the button to press to log out, change settings, etc.
Daylight/Nighttime Icon
Present Look: I dont know whose idea it was to put a half moon inside of a dark space. I am seeing a cresent moon which has some yellow with a small smily face moon. And a little red on top. The current moon look is horrible to be honest. There is a speck of white to the left of the moon which almost resembles a man walking on the moon. It is so small and difficult to view, its just horrible in my opinion.
When I change to the night mode though, I absolutely love how the sun icon is clearly visible. The blue background colors resembling the sky is also very nice with the sun smiling. Keep that look!
Mock Look: I like the shape of the icon. It looks like the new versions I see on some websites, where the button can be pressed, and the change from day to night can happen without the page having to reload. I like how it looks on the mock look. I may be wrong, maybe the page still does reload, but overall it is nice. Only thing again, keep the current sun look. Change the night look to something more visible.
Header - Skilled Seducer Boards
Present Look: I dont fancy how the words are put the the left of the screen and small
Mock Look: Yes perfect. The color change from black to orange is also a wonderful change. It makes the website look more vibrant.
Forum Stats
Present Look: I do love statistics, but when it comes to a brand I already trust, I dont care about how many members a website has, how many messages, or treads there are. The reality is, what am I going to do with this information? Nothing to be honest.
However from a marketing and business standpoint, it is great to have these statistics as it shows: authority, credibility, social proof, and trust. So keep it.
Mock Look: I love the design of the new statistics. However please ask the developer to add back the "new member". I think it is great when we have a new member and we can welcome that new person.
The stats numbers are big, bold and nice. The icon images beside treads, messages, and members looks nice. The color code also perfectly matches GirlsChase.
Members Online
Present Look: The look is very simple and to the point. Personally I am very busy so sometimes keeping things simple is best. And I think the current look does this very well.
Mock Look: Lol this is pure comedy and I am here for it.
@ZacAdam and
@Skills images look like PSY from Gangnam Style,
@Tayo image looks like one of those guys from Bob the Builder cartoon,
@POB looks like Eminem, the 3rd image looks like Da Baby (artist), and the last image looks like a darker shade of Drake.
Ps. Speaking of Drake, I cant wait till he drops those hot and spicy condoms. The hotter the better, lots of pepper lol. Whoever is designing this, some comedy and cartoon is running wild in their mind, and I am here for it lol.
One thing though, there are thousands of members, and any one person can change their image at the same time. Suppose 2 members decide to have the same pic of Sean Connery as their DP pic, then it would be difficult to quickly know who is online. I would prefer to still be able to see the names of persons who are online without having to hover over any images or clicking any links.
Ribbon (Home, Forums, What's New, Members, Chat
Present Look: The font and style of the entire section looks good to me. No complaints.
Mock Look: Again no complaints. I will say I do like how the number of chats is in a yellow circle. That looks more vibrant, than a red rectangle. There are actual studies that show the color yellow does influence people to take action faster. And I think the yellow does a wonderful job here. It may cause members to more rapidly click their alerts and messages.
Look at Amazon.com, I used to work for them. They use the color yellow as their checkout button for a reason. That color change is one of the reasons Amazon makes so much damn money lol.
Ribbon (New Posts, Find Treads, Search Forums, Watched, Mark Forums Read)
Present Look: I actually really like the font size, and white text. The red background has stuck in my mind as a GirlsChase color. I would keep that. Its absolutely amazing.
Mock Look: Wow, too much white now, the background does not remind me this website belongs to Chase Amante and Girls Chase members. It looks like some foreign forum. I think the red is symbolic with GirlsChase at this point.
Share This Page
Present Look: Maybe the fact that this was pushed to the bottom of GirlsChase is one of the reasons I never used it before. Another reason is I simply dont talk about seduction with other people outside of GirlsChase. Lets go back to an article that talks more about this:
https://www.girlschase.com/content/dont-talk-about-pickup-other-people
But even before
@Chase released this article, I had no reason to talk about seduction with people who are not already inside this space. I think this feature is good for those on the website who have friends outside of GirlsChase who you are interested in seduction, it would be a quick and easy share. But God as my witness, I aint sharing this page to Facebook so my Mom and my girls I am interested in can see I am learning how to get women.
I am sure I would get some phone calls about this. (Sorry I just realized I strayed from providing just feedback on the design). To conclude, I think the share icons in gray is an older look.
Mock Look: The colors are more vibrant, that is great. When I design websites, I also like to add the share links with color. To be honest, I have never used this feature of GirlsChase.
@Chase I would recommend using a tool to track how many persons on the boards are actually engaging and using this feature.
When I design websites, I have used:
Use a website heatmap tool to improve and refine your website, and give your customers a great experience.
www.hotjar.com
Use Crazy Egg to see what's hot and what's not, and to know what your web visitors are doing with tools, such as heatmaps, recordings, surveys, A/B testing & more.
crazyegg.com
heatmaptracker.com
(Wish I was affiliated with these companies to get the commission for recommending them, but haha it is what it is. Yours truly, I share from the bottom of my heart).

Present Look: Looks nice to me. It is very simple and to the point. One thing I never liked though was how the other words were never in Capital Letters.
Mock Look: The light gray background is a nice change. It is still simple, but looking more 2022 compared to other websites. I also love the font style. As mentioned above, I dont like when each word in a header is not bolded. To conclude:
I dislike: Latest posts / Latest profile posts
I like: Latest Posts / Latest Profile Posts
The Boards
Present Look: I do love the little ball rolling around in the circle thing. It makes the website more engaging. The images selected to represent each board is also very nice. The font is also perfect in my opinion. I would have preferred if the title of a post was more visible. Sometimes I am in a rush, and a particular topic may stand out to me. And so if I can help a guy or 2 on here real quick, I need to see the more of the title to make a quick decision if I have enough real world experience to do so.
Mock Look: I get that the developer is attempting to line up the edge of the Boards with the search and forum stats. Thats a great idea so it looks even and nice. But I dont like how there is all that empty white space to the left of the boards. Why? Just Why? I would ask the developer to stretch it out so more of the title of a post can be previewed. My guess is other guys on here are busy as well and would still love to help guys where they are experienced. So I think it would be a great idea to show more of that so we can help each other faster.
Alright there you have it. My feedback. If anything else comes to mind, I will edit and notify. P.s.
@Chase I have not been able to add images to my posts, I was hoping to take detailed screenshots on my computer and attach throughout the post. Is it possible for 2022 to allow Google Drive links to be embed? The reason is I currently pay for Google Drive, and I like having control over my content. Also the media approved sites eg. Instagram I have not been able to copy a link and paste on here. Its not showing up. Hopefully an admin could help me figure this out so my posts can be more dynamic and interesting.
