web site

Thanks for setting up the website Silard, it looks really good.

Are you adding a background image to it? In the mock up I used this one, but I'm sure you got better ones when we were filming...


For the forum I think there should be four sections....
1. Introductions
-Where Fitness Freaks players came come introduce themselves and meet other.
2. Hot Spots
-Peoples favourite area's in Wellington to work out/ play Fitness Freaks
3. Tips
-An area where players can come exchange work out tips
4. General Chat
-An area where the users can just talk about anything else that isn't covered in the first three categories.

Finally I have some facts to add to the site, the original information all came from the NZ Health survey (over the years).

Lack of exercise and unhealthy eating are two of the main causes of obesity

New Zealand facts
