Website Review and Suggestions

**pricerank** · 05-27-2010, 11:21 AM

Please help me with your opinions on the design, layout and basic format of out new website http://www.price-rank.com
This site allows users to post deals including affilaite links of hot deals they find on the web...

Please let me know if the format would be understood by the users, and if the button locations will generate click throughs and mulitple page views

We are currently after 1 month ranked around 100,000 with 100-300 users per day.

Yesterday we started an active google adwords program and look to increase our traffic by having our Hot Deal Voting button implements on retailer website, You can see the button on the about us page http://www.price-rank.com/page.php?page=about

Your opinion counts thanks

uhm. Thats a downloadable wordpress theme. So I am going to go with......not going to take off. If your serious. Invest in a freelance agency to create you an actual 2.0 looking site.

Wait wait. One month, at 100,000 rank - with 200-300 visitors a day? Not adding up

Alexa has you at No Data.

I bet you get 5 - 15 hits a day. Tops. Come on man. If your looking for real reviews, provide real information

Good site.
Design is good.
Looks good.

But the only think that i dont like is loading speed. TAkes a lot of time to load may be becuse much use of graphics and javascript. Fix it.

Providing Javascript is enabled, the webpages work and look good. If disabled, your site looks like a jumbled mess. I'd like this site if it were a blog, but for your purpose it's too image heavy. It took about 40 seconds to load with JS disabled, prolly over a minute if I visited with js enabled first time round...

We took some of the recommendation we recieved over 4 or 5 forums we asked in and We would like to get an opinion on the changes,

We have streamline the main pages, if there is no details on the deal the user is sent directly to the retailers site, if there are details the user is then sent to the details portion, Page load time improved by 30% by eliminating the photos on the list pages

i know we got flack on the point that are site is based off a template, but we do like the modifications we have made and i do beleive if we modify the background and the Title bars slightly it will be hard to tell that it is a mystique template..

Thoughts and impressions are welcome

It looks ok.

Its maybe a bit cluttered and hard to see what is what.

It would probably do better if it wasnt a theme, and a purpose built site with screenshots of products, Seeing the upcoming stuff, hot now, hot later, hot last week.
Etc.

Hmmm, Blue seems to be the Standard these days, look at Bizrate.com, slickdeals.net, facebook? our color scheme follows theirs,

As fas as the spacing, We de believe we have repaired and corrected all the spacing issues,

Made the listing page easier to follow, and opened up the document in other portions to allow better flow.

The next step we will untab the comments area to open that section up.
