Need my site critiqued

I chose to install the Avada theme because of it's rich features. My initial idea was to have a free forum to draw traffic but decided to get the landing page going first. The free forum will come later. I'm somewhat of a novice but really enjoy doing this myself. Feel free to give me your honest opinions.

    I think it looks nice. Clean and clear.

    But I think you really need some text, to explain what the site is about and why your visitors should stay and check it out. You can kind of figure it out, but it's not clear.

      Thank you very much, The Wordpress Avada theme is what really made it all possible. I'm pretty much just hobbyist and simply tinker around till I figure it out. I've done other sites for myself with other themes but they all looked bad and cheap IMHO.

    The homepage doesn't explain what the purpose of the site is. At the very minimum, you should have a paragraph or two that explains what information you can find on your site.

      So I added a paragraph that hopefully helps explain the purpose of the site.

    The design is clean, i like it.. there is only the Loading time... you have to clean your source code..

    That's all, otherwise, Goodluck

      Looks good, although I also noticed a long load time.

      One suggestion: some of the black text ("Pink") on the second slider image lies on top of a dark part of the image which makes it both difficult to read and less professional looking.

      Good luck

    I've further updated the site with some of the recommendations.

    Hi,

    look, its not good, sorry.

    appears you are trying to impress your customers with graphics and sliders.

    The colours are embarrassing, no offence.

    Why have your site stretch across a whole page with sliders jumping about?

    Does Facebook or Google do that? They avoid that like the plague.

    We have free tutorials on YouTube on how to build a real site.

    Its really about content anyway.

    no offence meant

    Jim

    Get rid of the advert at the top of the page its off putting and makes the site look spammy before you start.

    I'd invest in a professional logo and then place this in the header where you currently have the call us and email address.

    Move the slider up to below the header

    You also have a plus box in the top right hand corner that does unfolds to show nothing.

    You need some content on their and to work on the structure of the site for example the products are just randomly on the page and they don't line up.

    These are quick fixes but its content content content thats missing.

    The logo on top is a bit out of place. Change the color and the position of the "Find Out More" buttons. Its a little off. The "Advocare Spark Energy" with green highlight is off too. I would also point out the cropping of some of the bottles to get improved.

    I believe the things I pointed out are minimal because i think the website looks pretty good already other than some little things to move around and change. Good luck!

    Except for the loading time, your website looks great!
    Maybe do something about the header though, it's too "empty", you only have your logo up there, but overall you did a really good job!

    Updated my logo to my design. I'm not an artist and am trying for something colorful yet simplistic.

    It's a good start however your logo looks like someone didn't really put any thought into it and just typed some fonttype in italic setting and slapped on some fruits around it.

    I would change the logo - customize it a bit more.
