Before you say. Oh why?? Let me give you the perspective. (goggles on) Think of this as the premium product you buy for better and more gauranteed service.

JustCrowds.Com is a review site, where people pay for 100 reviews of their website. Not just small reviews but 100 decent reviews. That give a lot of feedback to the site owner. Think, opinion analytics.

The reviewers also get paid per review.

Link Here: http://justcrowds.com

I would like to know how the site looks to you guys. And whether or not the idea is "Good Enough"

I AM NOT A DESIGNER!

Reviews are greatly appreciated.

If anyone wants to test it out btw. I wouldnt mind giving out a free trial of the service to site owners. (its free for reviewers.)

Woaaahhhh

While the idea may work ( if your reviews of peoples websites are good enough ) and bring in visitors.

People will pay for the visitors it will bring not just for the review. You need to bear this in mind.


Regarding the site:
It doesnt look that nice.

The text is HUGE and its hard to read.

Look at sites like listio.com
Now thats a good layout for a review site.

Oh and some tips:
- DONT use images to show text, search engines wont be able to find your content.
- DONT just use tables to do your website layout. ( Use DIV's and then you can have tables inside the divs if needed ) - Tables to do the whole site layout is a very 90's / Early 20's thing just wont work well in the long run for todays sites.

But yeah, the idea as a whole may work. You will just need to get a userbase first.

Yep. Its a chicken and egg situation right now.

I also agree with the tables thing, but im very new to coding so didnt really make that consideration. Just kind of knocked it up.

I also see your point with the value in traffic pulling. If you take a look here : image youll see that i add the ability to share pretty easy

I feel that site needs to be worked out. The fonts at centre of page must be decreased. It doesn't seem to be appealing.

On a side note,

One thing i would suggest is have the sites thats been reviewed on your main page with a small thumbnail of it.

Simple ratings etc should also be added.

Maybe have a top10 of the month section .

And start reviewing random site syourself ( to fill it up with content )

I do understand that its hard to start a site like this ( I was gonna do it once, But got bored after the 10th php file. So ditched it. and went with my current site idea " See sig " )

Good luck.

this forum is a great place to get ideas and help, So if you come up with anything or need help, Just ask. Plenty of people here will help out .

I agree with the other about the text, it is way to big scale the text down a little and it will look a lot better.

You have an interesting service but your layout will send them running. The logo is awesome. You need more structure. A header, a couple columns, etc. PM me if you like and I'll help you. I have several templates that may work for you.

I really dont get the purpose of this. You would pay your service to get a site reviewed. If thats the case- as a site owner if I was even considering this option, my first thought would be by looking at the page...... "why would I shell out money because if this(layout/design) is OK by the site(you) what credibility do the actual reviewers
have?"

Even submitting the site on here- you get reviews all across the spectrum. Sometimes, it doesnt tell me much so why would I consider paying for it?

So I guess the idea is OK but the presentation to the potential user could be clearer.
