My First Website please review

13 years ago

Hi there keysersoze, nice to meet you.

Nice looking site, Here's a few suggestions:

1.) l noticed the info box (the content directly under the navigation) appears on all pages --- maybe just have that one the home page and not the internal pages.

2.) The intro text is pretty bland, maybe spruce it up with some better graphics and text effects to make it pop a little more.

3.) logo - l see you're using the smartbiz template and have decided to leave the default logo in there; maybe you should create your own that's congruent with your site.

Keep up the good work, and good luck with the site.

Thanks

Nice site. The only thing I would suggest is replacing that wordpress logo with one of your own related to the site.

Maybe design or get someone to design a gaming related logo.

Looks good, but you want to add more images, as the site looks a little plain

Hi...nice site, just a few suggestions:

1-What is the first thing people see when they go to a website?
The Header...you will keep visitors much longer on your site if you
have a good looking graphics header...

2-Put a Image of the products you sell...i would recommend(if you
uses wordpress) getting a E Commerce Theme-plugin that will make the
Job easier and make the Site a site to Stay

Thanks

It looks really nice, it's simple and get's the info around. You should probably change the title tag for the home page form the domain name to a seo title tag.

Hey Niclas,

First of all I would like to congratulate you in setting up your first website!

Design feedback:
- Color combination is good especially the background it really blends the color of the page.
- Maybe you can more graphic image to have a bit attractive i.e header, etc.
- The color of the prices in PC Gaming Chairs page are having different colors. If you make this for some reasons like promo maybe you can create a tag or description where it says "less 15%" or any stuff.
- Add a jQuery slider in the home. It is the main eye of attraction.

Layout Feedback:
- Make use of your sidebar.
- The products posts in PC Games Chair are not aligned.
- Beware of white spaces. You used to much white spaces.

Overall Feedback:
- For first website this is already a big achievement for you.
- Choice of colors are good.
- Just a little improvement with the layout of the sub pages.

Keep it up!
Hope it helps.

All the best,
Justin Durano

Hello everyone thank you for the positive feedback, Really makes me happy

Just wanted to say im fixing the buy now buttons at the moment and i have outsourced the logo design so i will get a new logo in 1 day!

i Also have 7 reviews finished but i wonder if i should upload them all at once or spread it out and publish 1 each day. don't know if it matters or not.

So far i have spent:
Hosting+domain:6.99$
Logo:5$
total: 11.99$

Im not really pleased with my current Theme and looking for a premium one
If anyone have any tips it would be great

Thanks again! /Niclas

Hey, it's a nice start!

Some suggestions:

- Work on the logo and tweak the theme a little. It looks too generic and "template-ish" to me.

- Build your navigation menu. Three items are too few and they don't really support your visitors' navigation of the site. Rather than "Racing Gaming Chairs" as a top category, you should have something like "Products" or "Models" and put your "Racing...", "Shooter..." etc under that.

- Navigation menu visual feedback: let your visitors know which category they're on by adding a graphical element, e.g user clicks Contact, Contact item in menu changes color.

Best of luck and have fun!

Thanks

Hello !

Browsed your website a new visitor. Some tips.

Ad two more pages like About Us, sitemap or privacy policy or some thing more related to your product.

The text box below Welcome looks too textish add some pic to it make it look good.

Footer widget looks empty fill it with some information. A twitter box, facebook pluging...

Your website loads slow just check in to it.

Good Luck ! Bye.

Thanks

remove the html link on the main image at the top .ie the chair
it serves no purpose.

The intro text is to long and isnt really optimised for SEO.

Shorten it and add a call to action at the bottom.

I tried to click each thumbnail but you cant. Make them clickable and point to the same address as the read more button.

good effort for your first site!

Thanks

Nice looking site. Think it would help the layout if all images were the same size. The bottom one "ace bayou adult video rocker" appears slightly narrower than the others.
Good luck

The site is nice overall. I like the color, very eye-catching but pleasant. The site looks professional. It's easy to navigate. Some things I would change:
The logo is nice but make it bigger. My eye should immediately be drawn to it.
There is too much blank space on the sides. Your website should be clean-looking and not crammed, but it looks like there isn't enough content.. Consider adding a left-side column.
Add a sitemap at the bottom.
Include an About Us page.

Good luck!

Thanks

Good start as your first website. Take off your email address from your "About" page since you already have a "Contact" page. This may attract potential spams.

there are lots of good suggestions so far.
On my side I'd say: who are you talking to?
Gamers.
So, I'd do the following:
1. find out a list of the Top 10 games of 2012
2. look at the top games' color schemes
3. choose on which I like, but which the gamers also would recognize.
Obviously, don't copy copyrighted material. What I am saying is to
use the same type of "red" or "blue" or whatever color
which a gamer will find in his favorite game.
This way he will feel a bit of familiarity with your site.
Your current green background may not be the best color for your site's target audience...
best of luck,
bryan

Hello..

nice site.. GOOD start... Keep up the work...

- get good graphic logo
- things like make your pages look what they say for example
Home page should be a summery of your site
News- news listings,
SHOP should look like a shop and not a blog.
All this can be fixed with picking the current theme

You managed to put ads, and links to products on there. good job

Thanks

Looks like you have already received some great advice but I'll chime in too.

Gaming chairs are awesome, and there is a great market for them. I love that you have many to choose from as well.

The site is very clean; a little on the slow side for loading which may create an inflated amount of bounces from your site.

Also, I did not see the order links.

All and all, it is a great start!

Thanks

its a good start. looks better than my first website thats for sure. I was only using HTML and had never heard of wordpress.

I agree with most of the feedback here .
I say add some more color to the overall design. Grey is boring.
Definitely change the logo.
Good luck.
