Site Critique,

Nice Site Here's what I think:

I like the color and the picture of food is nice, professional, makes you want to eat more and stay on the site to take notes of the recipe.

When you click on one recipe, you go to another page with the actual recipe and you replace a photo of the plate with Google ads. I think you should stick to a photo with the recipe plate so people can enjoy the plate in their mind while cooking or taking notes. It will help to keep your visitor on the page. You can still put Google ads but on the left or on the right of the page.

Regards

David

Ok, this is a quick scan over and here is what I see wrong with it so far, in my oppinion...

1) You have about 6 different shades of blue on the page, the banner, the border, link text, button text, page outlining... You might need to tweak the css code to kind of bring it all into two or three different shades of blue which blend well.

2) You need to check your grammar, just going to pick on this one "How to whip up recipe eton mess", that makes 0 sense.

3) This will have to come down to testing when you get some traffic and this is your ad placement and amount of ads.

4) The grey font is two small in my opinion, I find it quite hard to read, maybe up the font size by 1-3px and turn it to a darker shade of grey.

5) Make your "about us" a lot more appealing, if all your gonna write is that then delete it.

6) Post font size need to be bigger and black, it is hard to read in my opinion.

7) Unless your going to update the site every couple of days / weeks, remove the dates from the home page, posts etc... There is nothing worse then seeing an article written a year ago

Thats just food for thought, there is a lot more work which needs to be done and this is souly my oppinion of how I would tweak my site.
