Critique my header

Then you shouldn't be wasting a second of your time worrying about colors and fonts lol.

This was my first thought- the fonts and colors do not match the niche you are stating.

I looked at it and I thought: "Girls, Disney, Young Girls, Romance, Make Up, Girl's Fashion"

Then I read "Movie review / Game footage / Entertainment news"

Movie reviews and Game Footage are mostly a young male demographic unless you target a smaller female niche

Entertainment News could be anything.

So the niche you are targeting with your sub-headline, is not the niche you are appealing to with your header.

Unless you are targeting a sub-niche of romantic girls who watch movies and game, but then you should be more specific in your sub-heading.

I also did not like the font and agree with the above that it should be bold and easier to read.

Im not in the position to pay anybody for anything atm, im judt doing what i can to get a foundation

The text also looks bigger and better on the mobile version, which is mainly the traffic I'll be trying to direct.

Much better. That's enough work on the header.

Now listen to Alexa and start working on building your list and core audience.

I prefer the first one, for two main reasons lol ...

(i) I think the color's much better. Bright red I associate with "hype" and "screaming sales pages" and very poor conversion rates. In all the split-testing I've seen done, in which bright red was one of the colors tested, it's always been the worst-performing color. (I'm not talking only about sales, either.) Just my perspective. Your mileage may vary. The point is that you can know this only by split-testing, not by asking people in a forum for their opinions. And all the time spent doing that is time that you're not spending on designing your site around the incentivized opt-in so that you can make some money. All of which is fine if you're a website design enthusiast, with loads of website design techie-skills. But be aware that people with website design techie-skills and interests are generally working for marketers who build lists lol;

(ii) Capital letters (contrary to what many people have more or less been brought up to believe) are actually slower and harder for people to read than lower-case lettering, and a fraction off-putting. I think there's actually a relatively objective, verifiable, provable point here, not purely a "my perspective and your mileage may vary" one. I think the chances are overwhelming that you're better off with lower-case lettering, and that there are good and reliable and valid reasons for that which are going to apply to you just like they apply to the rest of us lol.

My word ... how easy it is to spend hours discussing interesting stuff like this which is of only very tangential (if any) relevance to one's income lol.


.

Try the red one in title case (upper and lower case letters), no shadow. Make sure your products are in the order which fits the biggest amount of content on your site.

If movie reviews are your biggest amount of content, leave that first first, if its gaming, move that to the first position.

Its hard to tell what entertainment means.

The only goal with your header is to keep peopl from running away, and you don't want your header graphic so dense that people get irritated in how long it take to download form your site.

If you can swing it, use a full width red bar across your page, with the put your cookie graphic in the middle, unless your site is already OK with responsiveness.
