Website Review and Suggestions

**W0utR** · 02-27-2011, 08:47 AM

Hi, I recently create a new theme for my blog and i'm looking for some feedback.
At the moment it's just demo content, but that's just for testing purposes.

Let me know what you think: http://blog.woutr.be

it looks plain but might be better when you start posting. Anyway I would recommend to use a bit brighter colors. And do something with the logo section. Even though there is nothing it's so distracting

Can't seem to see it.

I like the logo... looks like it's going to be an interesting blog too!

It's looks very simple.

Simple website is the best.

I think your site looks great.

I like its style, red, black and white (both for the background photos and text color), simple but clear.
a little suggestions:
1. characters in the upper left corner are not clear enough;
2. continue your works, it would be great.

Cant see your website .. Too long to load

You honestly have a great design... However, you don't have consistency in your design (I mean rhythm). This reason is because there seems to be no goal that you really want to achieve in your site. Thus, this being the main idea of your site (??).

What I suggest, though, is that you create call to action buttons for your posts, and as well as bolder headers. Bold text signifies direction. That's why headers should be bold.

Also, I can tell you have no brand... You may believe you do, but, honestly, you don't. Take a look at your logo again, and ask yourself this question: is this logo the right choice? Should I use an icon instead? That's just a hint *hint* *hint*.

Like I've said though, your site is good, as for as designs go. If you really want it to be good, learn to highlight the priorities of your design.

Thanks for the feedback guys, sorry that it gave a 404 for a few days, I moved it to another subdomain and forgot to redirect the current domain.

@Jarod b, thanks for the reply, if I find some time i'll try to follow it.
As far as the logo goes, it wasn't really ment to be a logo, more like a catchphrase, so people would instantly know what my blog is about.

But yeah, I do agree it could be a litle better

I really like it. I especially love how the social media icons, when hovered, adapt to the referenced site's colors.

The only thing I would suggest is possibly playing around with the type. Look into font-stacks as I've noticed your current setting is very restricted;

Code:

font-family:Helvetica;

Try something more along the lines of the following;

Code:

font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;

Hope that helps!

Looks good. Nice and clean. Loads fast.

I'd recommend making the logo and that column bigger. Make the type in the logo a little stronger / more prominent on the page.

Possibly look into shortening the length of your lines. > add a third column?

The blog looks cool, but you need to still work in to make more visible, as this seems to be very simple one, so make it more attractive .

**LyricLL** · 04-01-2011, 04:46 AM

It's nice clean and simple. Your color scheme is very evident and consistent all the way through....even to the icons of others sites (until you hover over them). Your logo and font could be a bit larger however.

**logoonlinepros** · 04-02-2011, 03:58 AM

Looking so simple template design work. I think you need to change the background color of your site, like header color.

**dc4** · 04-02-2011, 10:39 PM

Very clean and simple, i like it though the titles deserve more attention. I would write the title on each entry in CAPS or center it so it can be noticeable.

**LeoJames** · 04-03-2011, 06:24 AM

Nice and Cool HD pics, very clean. I think you can include a footer in red color, which will make it even cooler. Keep it Up.

**zelllibin** · 04-04-2011, 11:39 AM

well, i like the simplicity,
might want to try to reduce your font size? to 12px?
and logo i felt that might want to use white front and dark red background, that's that your icon.?
right now its hurting my eyes.

**Samir** · 04-05-2011, 02:07 AM

Pretty clean and classy, but I think I'd increase the default font size.

**Nanaa** · 04-06-2011, 03:01 AM
