WEB DESIGN

Hi everyone, I have been making sites for a long time but this is the first time I have asked for a review - be gentle! I've never tried to monetize a site of mine before, I just did it for fun.

styleblog.info is the link, and I am still working on it.

Thanks in advance!

Gorgeous site. So, you're making money by adsense? Will it be great you sell some handbag, shoes on your site?

I'd get rid of the tags if I were you. They are distracting.

I would pay someone to make a logo. It can go a long way to creating an impressive site, and establishing a stronger presence.

Otherwise I think the site looks great; it's clean, organized, and has content.

Best of luck!

Thanks Jimmy, I have an amazon account that I have barely used, may be time to dust that off.

MikeFromMaine, do you mean the ones on the bottom of the page, or altogether? I'm a little fuzzy on what they are worth to be honest.

Thanks dialseo, I have a friend who makes great logos, I just have to think of what I want now.

Thanks again all, I appreciate the feedback.

  I love the feel of the site, what theme are you using?
  
  Thanks so much! The theme is called Arras, it can be found at arrastheme.com. It's extremely customizable.

I really don't have any criticism on the site, it looks fantastic. If you go with a logo, don't do a full banner. I think a banner across the top would be overkill for the look and feel of the site.

Thanks JKibbles, I was thinking just something a little larger & fancier than whet is there now. I'm really into minimalist looks on blogs with a lot of content.

Color scheme is good, I'm sure it will look more filled out when you've added your affiliate products and such.

  Your website is simple and focus..
  try to place more social media buttons,that links to your social websites
  
  click to action buttons as well, like where they just click if they want to buy the product..or share buttons if they want to share to friends..it will spread the words..
  
  If your monetizing from Adsense its good to place ad sense in ever page like below or above the images,header and footer
  
  Just try to update them more often..

background is scary and I second the comment about the tags being distracting and you need a header to contrast the rest of the site, otherwise you have a lot of good things going the slider is good and the rest of the site looks good....

Your website design is good. I only like to give you a suggestion to create a logo for your site. As it is essential for every site to have logo.

Good job. Don't stop improving this site or move onto something else, I think you'll be able to make it much better/nicer than it is - and it doesn't look bad. Much better then many I have seen people asking to review here.

Let me give you some links - these blogs I think are all what I would aim to have my style blog look like - also I want to say I really like your URL (styleblog.info) - I think you are onto something good here. Keep working at it.

OTC - BUENOS AIRES STREET STYLE
The Marcy Stop
A Girl, A Style | The Rose-Tinted Dreamworld of Miss B
Alphie & Eve | TOBRUCK AVE | Alphie & Eve
StyleQuotient | Vancouver Canada Street Style Fashion Photography Blog
Olivia Palermo's Style Blog and Website.

^ If I were you, I would aim to have your site looking as close to one of those as possible - keep in mind, this may be easiest with a $50 premium wordpress theme website - but if you are serious about making it that nice, $50 and work to learn simple design with wordpress will be worth it.

Hope this helps in some way. Good job so far.

Looks good but like mentioned before you really need to get a logo. You don't even have to buy one just go to dafont write your website name and slap a image relating to your niche on it.
