    Evan...

    I like the design...beautiful. Also...great idea for the pop up email subscribe.

    However, I have no idea what you guys do. Remember you have about 5 seconds to grab the attention of a reader. Here are a few recommendations:

    1) Tell me what you do when the page opens

    2) Relay an image of what you do so the reader feels compelled to stay

    3) Make an offer for me to sign up for your email list. No one wants to sign up for a list just to sign up. Say something like sign up to receive my guide to...

    Start with those things and I think it will help.

      I appreciate it alot..

      1) Tell me what you do when the page opens -
      I have no idea yet. lol I am serious when I say this.

      2) Relay an image of what you do so the reader feels compelled to stay
      - same. I still have to figure out. Should I put blog on main page? Or put on a slider perhaps?
      the site really is more of a multi-purpose site. nothing specific for a niche or something. so I dont know yet.

      3) Make an offer for me to sign up for your email list. No one wants to sign up for a list just to sign up. Say something like sign up to receive my guide to...
      - I am also working on this THank you again.

    I noticed some obvious mistakes in grammar/spelling. Get a Native English editor to go over your copy and fix it up a little.

    Hi Evan. Would it be possible to make that Slider smaller? It covers the whole screen when you first visit the site and is a bit overwhelming. The slide transitions need to be slower as well.

    As was already mentioned, I have no clue what your company provides. I even scrolled down to read the About blurb and i'm still not certain what you actually do. Go to Fiverr.com and hire a native English writer to help you with your vision. I have the ultimate respect for people that can speak and write in two or more languages, but written copy needs to be perfect grammar to capture the native English market.

    Evan, the design looks great when I get there.

    A few things...
    • I have no idea what your site is when I get there. What is your site all about?
    • The opt is generic. Do you have an offer? If not, I'd suggest at least changing the copy, but having an offer is ideal.
    • No offense but, your mission is super long. I'd say explain it all without 1-2 sentences if possible. Tell people about the main copy points, there's just too much there.
    • "The Magazine" is confusing to me. Why not just "blog". Keep it simple.

    Most important thing is really just seeing what your site is about.

    Seems a little too general right now.

    Way to take action with this! I hope this helps

    Thanks Guys.

    I'll work on the site is about. Problem really is.." I don't know" lol.. I'm having trouble with it actually. It's an affiliate site but I don't know how to change the domain that is if I still can. Otherwise I need to purchase another domain name urghhh.. I'm clearly a newbie..


    Anyways, I appreciate all the feedback guys. Will work on those things right away!

    * slider too large and too fast
    * about page and what is the site is about
    * content must be perfect and no grammatical error.

    Evan,
    I liked the design.

    A few things I Have noticed.

    1) The slide bar is huge. Make it smaller.(that's not the main
    thing that attract people, the opposite it makes them leave).

    2) Change the font, and make it a little bit bigger.
    Plus, watch your grammar or take someone
    to do it for you.

    3)There is not enough info for people to see and
    understand what is all about. It takes a few
    seconds to catch the peoples attention so make
    It counts. Otherwise, you lose them for good.

    Hoped I helped.

    The domain name is nice and the picture is beautiful. But...

    1) I feel that you may fall into a beginner's trap: wanting to talk about anything to anyone. It is a sure recipe for failure. Your website must have a clear and specific purpose. Choose a niche, choose a sub-niche, and choose a specific way inside this sub-niche.

    2) Web site owners love sliders... But the image carousels (sliders) are not a good idea for conversion. Generally, web site visitors do not want to read: they only scan. But if we want to sell them something, it is important that they read. If they start to read and you distract them with images that move, they will stop reading immediately.

    Good luck!

      - Thanks alot.

      Yeah, you're right. I've created a site not knowing what it is for. I've literally wanted to talk about anything. beginner's luck lol! - I am struggling with niche with my domain. Is there a way of saving the site? Or you suggest I should build a new one with a specific niche?

        It's up to you.

        In theory we must first choose the topic of our website and our business model and only then we choose our domain name...

        I have not thought much but if you absolutely want to keep your domain name (wich contains the words Amazing and Eve)... Eve can suggest two things:

        a) Eve, biblical companion of Adam, and by extension women in general.

        b) Eve also means evening.


        Then you could possibly choose to talk about "amazing" women, "amazing" dating, "amazing" seduction or "amazing" sexuality (choose something specific in this general niche) and monetize your website with dating sites affiliates:

        For instance:
        Niche affiliate marketing with the Cupid affiliate network
        But there's a lot of other affiliates programs for dating sites!

        You should also build a list (get the emails of your visitors) and promote something to your list. Etc...


        Or talk about the "amazing" evenings in different countries.(choose something specific: amazing parties or amazing landscapes? in wich region of the world? what kind of traveling? Traditional? Budget? Luxury? Cruises?) and monetize your site with programs as:

        https://affiliates.hotelscombined.com/?languageCode=EN

        https://www.cruisedirect.com/about/affiliates.php
        But there's a lot of other affiliates programs about travels!

        Build a list too.


        Or if you have a clear idea about something different that may interest you... change your domain name! it's not so expensive. But you must choose...

        1) A topic that interests you and in which you already have some knowledge.

        2) Decide exactly what will be the audience of your website (you want to communicate with...?). And what are the problems these people have and your site will solve?

        3) See the competition (reverse engineering)... And can you make a better or different website? How will you meet the needs of your audience? Better than your competitors?

        4) Know in advance how you will monetize your site: It's very important that you know it from the start because it will orientate everything you will do.

        Read the Warrior forum, you will learn a lot.

        Good luck!

        P.S. Sorry for my bad English, French is my mother tongue.

        P.P.S. If I were you, I would first choose my subject, I would first choose my business model, and then I would choose a suitable domain name for what I want to do. A website will not succeed only because it has an excellent domain name and a beautiful picture on its home page.

    Love the image. Not 100% on the logo font - the problem is though design is subjective so just because I do not like it does not mean others don't.

    I used to use Criticue to get website feedback - not sure if its still any good though. Might be worth a try (it's free)...

    Many people have already pointed out the consistency in content and making it obvious who the target market is. That is the most important thing to address first.

    As a first time user, it looks like you're doing what you can to get affiliate clicks and ad impressions, even though the content is pretty light. This will alienate people. You need to work on your content a lot more before thinking about monetising it, in my opinion. I'd also consider dropping the forum unless you really make an effort to engage in it yourself and get friends and family involved. No one is going to start using a forum that no one else has commented in.

    From a design point of view, it's obviously in its infancy and you're rightly concentrating on content first. But there are a lot of visual inconsistencies, too many different fonts, the user flow is disjointed and potentially confusing, the blue social sharing icons are visually out of step with the design of the rest of the site, the contact form needs tidying up, and I don't understand why there is a sign in option.
