Hello, I have just re-designed my homepage and I was wondering do you like the layout and look of it?

If you had seen it before, has it been improved?

    I like it, simple but it works. I think you could monetize way better than you have but it's good you don't have too many ads.

    Is it a game or what? If it is a game I guess you need to tell is for Facebook, iPhone iPad or?

    The site could do with some different styles of monetization. Other than that is is good.

    I didn’t know what the site was for when it appeared. You need to make it clear it is a PC game. It needs a graphical header and some font changes to make it more appealing – make things more colourful – like the game.

    Then give a brief explanation of what the game is about. What type of game is it etc.. The “What is minecraft?” and “How do I play?” should be at the top of your content before anything else.
    I think the advertisement banner is out of context with the site – who is thinking about storage when they want to play a game? I would move the banner to another position and promote something else with it, although I wouldn’t concern yourself too much about monetizing it yet – just concentrate on the site for now.

    Think about shrinking the size of the graphics on the left side – they’re too big and as they’re not of a high resolution it will make them look more appealing if they’re smaller. I’m assuming you lifted them straight from the game? If so, I would create better one’s using a simple paint program, they wouldn’t be hard to reproduce even if you have no graphic design experience.

    Other than that, you have laid the foundations for what could be potentially a good site. You’ve got all the essential elements there, you just need to spruce it up a bit and organize the layout a bit better.

    So congratulations – you’ve done all the hard work getting it to where it is, now it’s just a case of tweaking it here and there. Don’t try to dive in and change everything all at once – you’ll just get bogged down trying to do too much at once. Pick one thing that you’re going to do – say the header graphics – and stick to that until you’re happy with it – then focus on the next thing.
    I bet if you come back for a review in a couple of weeks time it’ll look like a totally different (and better) new site. Good luck! I look forward to reviewing it when it’s done….

    Yes, on first thoughts I would have no clue what this site is about. As it happens I know what Minecraft is, others may will not.

    Header image needs work for sure.

      People that know what minecraft is will be the target audience fo the site. if they don't play minecraft, they are not going to be the audience, and the site is not for them. So you don't rally need an explanation of what minecraft is.

      I don't really know what kind of ads get displayed by weebly, I am assuming that it is their adsense that is being displayed. Most of the adsense I see are irrelevant to the topic of the site.

      I suspect that a good way to monetize would be to sell your own, cheat code book, or minecraft tips guide, something like that.
