Website Review and Suggestions

**PYT** · 11-29-2006, 03:29 PM

I just created a new website, Site Profiter
By inputting some of your basic costs for your site and some of the things you profit from, it calculates your profits for the next 1, 3, 6, or 12 months.
I found this tool useful myself because i realized that one of my sites was actually having a negative profit, and is making me lose money.
I did all the designing, coding, and php myself and i want to know what i can work on.
I also wanted to know how i should market the site and if you think it will be useful for the average webmaster.
If you like the idea, i would appreciate it if you could spread the site to your friends, I'm going to start advertising it soon.

Thanks in advance, I'm looking to get as much feedback as possible

I think that it's a good Idea. A new and easy concept to use on the web. I don't know if you are going to be able to sell it because I feel most people will already have a concept of whether they make money of not. But you could try to advertise it for free and link to other websites you own.

Sleak, appealing, fast. All things that appeal to people. My suggestions:

[1] Add little question marks by the side of each question. Then, offer more in-depth explainations of each field once a user clicks them.
[2] How are you intending on make money off of it? Or is this simple a free service?

I'm viewing the website on a Linux OS with Firefox, but things don't always render correctly. So, from what I can tell, the design looks pretty good.

Simple, yet interesting tool.
Is that the only purpose of your site?

I am not planning to sell the site for a while, i will only sell it if i am desperate for the money.
Thanks for that comment and i will probably soon add extra information for each field to make it easier however i didnt want to clog up the entire page with instructions otherwise it wouldnt be user friendly.
I will probably end up making money by putting a few ads on the site, maybe 2 text links and one banner and then just selling them monthly.
I was looking at my stats today and in just 24 hours about 80 unique visitors came to the site. Of course i dont believe that traffic to be consistent because that was the first day the site was open.
Also, apparently 50% of the visitors bookmarked the site so hopefully there will also be returning visitors and the site will spread by word of mouth.
This is the only idea i have for the site right now, i'm not sure what else i could add to it but i think i may write an article on how to maximize your profit or something like that.

Thanks for the quick feedback, PYT

How's it going now?
Site is a good idea. Not seen anything like it before.
I would get all the field entry boxes in a justified colomn - they are a bit messy butted up against the questions.
Get some ads on their and add more useful content to the site.
Maybe make your code into a javascript or joomla/mambo component - make it useful for other people

My suggestion is to add a little bit of information to each field so users know what the purpose of each field is. Also on the resulting page increase the font since its quite small
