Website Review and Suggestions

**smokin gun** · 11-07-2007, 01:39 AM

Please take just a moment to review my first web site. ALL comments will be greatly appreciated!

www.GreyhoundAds.com

to be honest, it looks a bit like a default free template. Your logo would be better in the top left where " Greyhound Classifieds" is.

The design is ok to me.

However,

1. The order of the links in the main menu looks strange. The "Home" link is usually place first. Next, I would place "Clasified listings" link, since listings is the main content that you offer to your visitors.

2. I would remove "powered by" link at the bottom.

3. The text sizes are too large to my test. Yes, it is difficult to read small fonts, but very big fonts are also difficult to read.

Looks ok but i think its to plain

**green77** · 11-07-2007, 11:14 AM

I like the navigation on your site, the menu bar looks neat and user-friendly, I wish you could add more content to your pages, don't fail to show your site once again when all pages are completed.

I have implemented some of your suggestions.

**Iwonitlive** · 11-10-2007, 10:42 PM

I agree with the other posts you heading is to big.

**davemies** · 11-11-2007, 02:19 AM

the header is a bit over-compressed - the dog looks dirty compared to the same dog lower down in the page and the address text doesn't look properly antialiased.

the header text also looks confusing as there is too much with a shadow and the reflection - if you need some help with that you can email me the original at gekkoweb[at]gmail.com

you need to size your gif ads at the bottom properly in a graphics editor and not just in the html

I think you will need more content on your site. Especially if you plan on ranking in search engines. You site seems to plain, too much white. Maybe add a different color or change the background color a little bit. Your navigation buttons look ok, but I would capitalize all first letters in "how to place your ad" and maybe even change to "Place Your Ad" only. Anyway, the site is easy to navigate, but maybe just a little too simple. It's not a site that I would visit and remember...

Good Luck

I think your menu could be condensed a little, so that you don't need to scroll to see it all. In fact, almost all your pages seem to be too long, and the ads on the right take up a lot of real estate.

And on a personal level, I would really like to see a link to Greyhound rehab and adoption.

**Gx3 Grafix** · 11-12-2007, 05:37 PM

It's looking good. But a few things could make it look better. The header is poor quality, what program did you make it in? There might be a simple way to fix that and not sacrifice to much bandwidth if that's what you're worried about.

It would stand out a little more and give it a nice feel if you added small bg images to repeat and create a drop shadow around the 'stage'. Or use a gradient green instead of a flat one tone.

Anyhow, good luck with your site. If you need help with the images, you can pm me.

I like it. It only took my about 4 seconds to figure out what the service was. It's clean and direct. You might consider a phone number on the home page?

Btw, if Michael Vick emails you tell him you're busy.

**Nicky83** · 11-13-2007, 11:14 AM

err...you missed the letter "h" in your title..
keep up the good work!

**smokin gun** · 01:36 PM

Ok......I have made quite a few changes and seem to be getting a little happier with it. What are your thoughts?

Nickey83.....Where am I missing an "h"?

**gamer99** · 11-14-2007, 06:01 AM

Nice and simple. Load time is good.

**Gx3 Grafix** · 11-14-2007, 09:18 AM

the title for your page says 'Greyound Ads' - in the tab.

still poor quality on the banner. I think the logo would look better as a header banner. I like the background and the colours better. It's really coming together nicely. I still think a clean drop shadow would be a nice effect.

I think a small banner above greyhoundads.com in the middle would look nice also with a few pictures of some greyhounds like in the ad at the bottom.

Just an idea:
