I agree, any suggestions for the header? I've played around with it and can't find something I think looks really good. I think the text in the top right looks kind of tacky, but looks worse with nothing there.

As for the footer I plan on putting links and such down there once the site gets going.

Thanks!

To me this just looks like another wordpress site that has got some premium theme and then you have added some content and a logo. You should work on the image dimensions that are to the left of the featured posts. They seem to be squashed and or stretched.

Consider some aggregation and minification of your site, a caching tool will help you out in this area.

Try make your newsletter area more appealing, right now I don't want to sign up to something that only has an email address field with a default styled button, I want to see some production value...

You've gone in the right direction in terms of creating a nice modern website that has fresh content, it appears you have a good grasp of involving social media, so no problems there. I feel like it is missing something though.

The top right corner where it says your source for anything caffeine related the word 'related gets partially cut off.

In the footer the facebook icon also gets cut off. Since you already have social icons in the top right and left side maybe you can remove the icons from the footer altogether?

Good information and content

Despite using a responsive theme, it seems that the mobile version is turned on in Wordpress which is overriding your theme on my iPhone. The result is a blank page with no content: Screengrab

Attempting to exit the mobile version with the "classic" button on bottom redirects me to the Godaddy parking page for bucketbreaks.com... um... screengrab

Thank you Hollendaze. Ok I fixed the mobile version, let me know if it doesn't work for anyone. Is there a way to take off the classic view? It looks awful with my site.

I feel like it is missing something though

1. Content organization. Is there any? You don't have a ton of content now, but will you in the future? Will it be organized?
2. The front page has 3 areas for content - the slider, "new articles" and "featured." But it's all the same articles.
3. The bottom of the home page has no link or arrow or anything that suggests the viewer can continue on to more/other information.
4. The sidebar is used only for "popular" or "new" posts and 1 single advertisement. It feels rather empty, and if that's all the ads you're going to place in, you could ad the single 300x250 directly into your content space.
5. Personally, I find the banner ad at the very top rather annoying. It's like I have to avert my eyes down to the "real" website.

Some cause-oriented hackers recently hacked one of my websites. So I researched what they're about and then donated a large sum of money to the entity they hate the most.

The next time they hack one of my websites I'm going to donate DOUBLE.

Thank you. There will be better organization once I make more articles and get any amount of traffic. I don't plan on starting to market and bring traffic to my site until a later date.

The 3 areas for content will have different articles for each one, with some overlap, not all of them will be the same like it is now.

I'll use your suggestions about my ads and empty sidebar and change some stuff around.

Thank you for taking the time to check it out, shoot me a pm if you need something in return.

Thanks

Looks nice but a bit overloaded with details. If I were you I would simplified this site to make it more speedy and minimalistic. Also I would shorten it vertically. Too much empty space imho.

Hi Jakeeck,

The wordpress theme is simple yet clean and professional-looking. I can see that you already have good content out there, good start!

However, I have to agree with the above posts, you may want to improve your footer and banner area, where you can put enough helpful links to give "direction" to your readers. Also, I find it a little bit awkward when using different font style in your page Main Menu has way different font style compared to the font styles under New Articles area. When opening the main page of your site, compared it to subpages of your site, say the "Caffeine content chart" Page, the font size on Popular Post area changes which affect the overall appearance of the site. Additionally, you may add other important widgets/gadgets in your theme. :rolleyes:

Keep up!

It looks good, I like the scrolling image and the list of content below it. The Caffeine content chart is smart. I would invest more time and money in making it look aesthetically pleasing. Right now it looks like an excel spreadsheet(ugly) It has all the right functionality but it does not look good.

Thanks
