Please give your opinion on my sites new design!

12 years ago

I like the fonts and color scheme, but I have two main criticisms:

1. Nothing on the page truly grabs (IMO) the viewer's attention. It looks like just so much verbiage.

2. There is no call to action anywhere on the page.

I would recommend thinking about what your call to action should be, and perhaps adding more color to the splash area (and/or a video).

Thanks for the reply, I'll be adding a list to my site soon so that'll be my call to action. What would you recommend I do to help grab the viewers attention?

That can be easy to overdo, but a safe option would be to design (or hire someone to design) a more colorful - but not garish - banner with your site name for the logo. As an example, look at what "lifehacker-dot-com" and many other sites do to headline their pages.

Thanks

Could do with some graphics to liven it up. Nice clean design though.

Nice clean design, but honestly I felt like I had been there before. I always says go clean and lean and as long as the content is good, traffic is up and bounce rate is down, don't worry about what I say.

Adam, congrats on your site. It looks very clean and professional. There are a few things I would like to point out.

1. The header and top menu both are very small compared to the title of your posts and such. They look good, you just need to make them more prominent.

2. Add some value like a free report opt-in. I applaud you for not trying to over sell your visitors but I am a firm believer that you need an opt-in form on every page especially your landing page. Giving away a free report will not only engage your audience and show them you are an expert but also help grow your list.

All in all, the home page looks good. Just needs some tweaking. Trust me, even when you are really happy with it, you will change little things here and there for testing.

I like the design and the clean lines, but I would have to agree with everyone here, it could do with a lick of color.

Who's Adam? I would suggest you let your visitors know who this Adam person is. Why create a website with your name in the domain if you're not going to sell yourself. Put a picture up. Create an "about me" or "my story" page so your visitors know who you are.

After all, if you're going to build an email list, you will want to connect with your subscribers. You will be sending them to your website to read your blog posts, so let them know who you are and solidify that relationship by connecting in more than one place. You get my point, yes?

Thanks

The font in the menu is pretty hard to read. I would maybe try to change that first. The site as a whole looks clean, but like others keep saying, a touch of color wouldn't hurt. A graphic logo might help with that a bit.

Thanks

The site has a clean design. Might need more color though. I also find the font used rather small.

It's pretty bland and boring. Reminds me of looking at a desert. You definitely need a header to give the site some color and life.

I also suggest adding some images, especially in your "about" page. Take the time to flesh out the content. It just seems very thin and empty with nothing that grabs the attention.

I would change you background color. Right now the site looks fine but is bland. All your sites areas merge into one big white mass. Add a darker color as a backdrop to beeter define your areas and pull the eye towards the center.

What do you want your reader to do? There is nothing calling them to take action or read something now, no direction.

Adam? Who the hell is adam?

Get a picture of you somewhere, maybe on the header and add more about you. If you are the brand you need to be more easily viewable......people buy from and subscribe to people........people will trust you better if they can see you.

Thanks

Defiantly great site, liking it a lot, good clean design, good navigation and well layout. I like the color scheme and total graphics. They have a nice look without taking up too much of the page. Overall nice design though.

Thanks

Your opt-in pop up is nice, but very annoying to see it appear on every page load.

It's good but I can't tell it perfect or best.
My question is who is adam. you have to make it clear to visitors.
I think you have to work hard to make it more beautiful.
