Website Review and Suggestions

**Sycrohix** · 08-06-2008, 07:49 AM

Hello!

http://www.get-rid-of-blackheads.com

This is my second website. Made with xSitePro. Its still under construction, with lots of content still to be added.

What do you think of the design so far?
Layout?
Navbar?
Colours?

THANKS!

Hello.

Your site looks nice. The lime color is soft and you integrated the google adsense well on the text wrapping. But when navigating on the site, that ad isn't as well integrated because it changed color.
It is simple and effective, I say. Well, you could put some image on the front page to make it more appealing. But I guess Blackhead pictures aren't very nice to display on the front page so I understand.
The only thing is the google adsense banner, seems to detach a bit the site header with the rest. There is also some bugs on at least one page of the menu links.

I give it a 6 out of 10.

(This is my 1st review and post. i hope I got it right.

)

Its not bad, but in my view, just way too simple.. The search form if can stress to be same width with the wrapper, would be nicer. Because now looks like it's in the middle of no where.

And last one, nothing related with the design, but your domain is so hard to remember. Just my opinions

Simple is good!

After all one of the simplest sites on the net is also one of the biggest; Google

your website looks pretty cool atm how are you going about getting it noticed as im sure many people wont think of typing in getting rid of blackheads on google.

**Sycrohix** · 08-06-2008, 05:09 PM

8,500 google searches per month for the term "get rid of blackheads"

You should change the header to image attatched.

**TWD** · 08-07-2008, 01:34 AM

There is a spelling mistake.

Should be 'Permanently'

not

PERMENANTLY

I may say that the design is not bad at all, i really like the layout and the color scheme too, just do some adjustment on the header image! but i think that you've done a good job on your site!

hmm the banner doesnt go with the lime text very well.
Banners a little overpowering for the eyes.

When I click user-submitted on the bottom, it takes me to www.get-rid-of-blackheads.com/index.php and I get this message:

Yes, i've been trying to fix that

**yaoz** · 08-11-2008, 07:09 AM

My suggestion: change background - something more eye-friendly in a darker hue (like the inner color of your logo title)

Hi:

I liked it: well designed, interesting content...No critics.

There are spelling errors, and underlining shouldn't (need to) be used in body text. Do you really need the date? Lime-on-white is also very hard to read.

You have too much text on your site. For the homepage, I would have short sentences to hook the users.
The logo banner is too high. I would swap the banner and google ads.
Instead of a side bar, I would have a top tab. Since I'm already looking at the banner on top of the page.
Hope that helps!
