Website Review and Suggestions

**tahoecale** · 01-17-2012, 02:44 PM

hello fellow members i need some help with my new project, i just launched it today and before i stat a ppc campaign i would like for some input on the overall look and layout of the site. Please let me know if you see any changes i should make.. and i know my logo doesn't make a ton of sense but im still working on that..

link to site: Centworkers, Get paid to do micro jobs

Thanks for your time

Yes, The Logo does not make sense, so does the Register and Login button. It makes your website look like designed by a newbie - Change the look. You should look at Google for a ' Free web templates ' and get some ideas. Check out your competitors and see if they have a better web design that you, learn from your mistakes and try again. You will never fail.

Good Luck

What do you mean forget the rest.. the site layout looks good to me...

logo: you know about

not quite enough contrast on the navbar text ( i like the background)

favicon different to logo

search graphic is tacky. leave a message graphic looks uninviting cos it's grey

site laid out in tables for non-data information - about 10 years out of date

blinking advert (look at the page for a few seconds and your eye is drawn to the advert, ok back to 'hey look there's something blinking. oh it's that', back to the 'heck it's still blinking ... ' and so on...

all the buttons are different styles, have poorly cut out edges and all look like the (very) usual stock graphics

login and register is duplicated

all centred text looks bad - it's harder to scan and floats in the space looking lonely

no real headings

nothing is lined up with anything else. poor visual hierarchy

text as images when could be real text

it looks like different bits of other sites taken and randomly arranged on the page

Ok i fixed the favicon, stopped the "blinking advert" and removed the "login and register is duplicated" i tried to line up everything... and changed the logo..

does it look any better now?

Thanks for all the tips

bit better

logo is just a header - you can't use that kind of horrible MSN style clipart for a logo.

register now and login buttons are still different styles

employers and workers images aren't smooth edged. workers text is horizontally distorted

post/get a job are badly put together and cutout

lists are still centred text

i'll knock something up quickly if i have time and post back. it's a bit better but most of the problems are still there

quick idea :

**tahoecale** · 01-26-2012, 12:57 AM

WOW! yeah that looks way better! should i just right click the image and slice the images out in photoshop ? or can you send them to me?

You rock! by the way for helping me.

**davemies** · 04:16 PM

i'll send them to you sometime today or tomorrow.

Edit : well soon -oops got a bit busy tonight so maybe friday

**davemies** · 06:37 AM

you can use real text for the Employers - post a micro job, etc

folder here has the ready optimised graphics in http://pp.kpnet.fi/prescott/stuff/centworkers/

p.s. i made the get started free button in the same style/colours as the register

**tahoecale** · 01-27-2012, 03:55 PM

Hey thanks again man huge help! i just downloaded the images. should have the changes in a few mins.

**FokeBox** · 01-28-2012, 08:27 AM

I would say that colors are too bright ... I suggest to make them softer!
Structure needs to be developed I think!
Picture on the top-left corner is with inappropriate size!

Hey i can't get the login and register buttons to stay apart.. i have tried many different ways.. could you take a look at it and give some ideas?

Thanks

make a css class with some padding and apply it to the image
