Please review my site...

Thanks.

I have the following URL's which I am pleased with...

www.techpurist.com
www.techpurist.co.uk
www.techpurist.net
www.techpurist.co
www.techpurist.info
www.techpurist.biz
www.techpurist.eu

The site will point to all of them. I am working on the following reviews for launch...

iPad 4
iPad Mini
Nexus 10
Nexus 4
Galaxy Note 2
HTC 8X
iPhone 5

Will also have 30 minute YouTube videos and news everyday relating to high end tech plus editorial on certain new technologies that will soon be released.

Lots of work but its something I have wanted to do for a long time and this forum has really helped me push the project forward. Got to just go for it!

Thanks

I love your layout. Looks really professional.
The only thing I would advice is to change the read more buttons. Grey on grey may be a small problem, well, I cannot see exactly, maybe it is black on grey, but still try to choose a little bit more contrast in that.
Again, all in all - great job!

Thanks

Its funny you should mention that. That is the only thing that has changed in the build process and they have been made easier to read! Thanks for the feedback.

You're very lucky to have had a very professional designer work on your site. I would suggest the following visual/SEO/marketing improvements.

As a former professional designer:
- Get rid of the "Home" button at the top.
- Also get rid of the "News" button. As the news should be able to fit into one of the other categories
- Would be nice if you could rename "Mobile Phones" to "Mobile". And "About Us" to "About". Not a bad idea to move the "About Us" to make a link elsewhere on the site like a sidebar widget or something.
- Take the words "Latest Review" and make it a graphic ribbon or diagonal banner over the top right corner of the image. (This is better for visual as well as SEO purposes...as you don't want the words "Latest Review" to have more precedence over the article title.)
- Get rid of the box around the 3-article "Focus" Area. Rename "Focus on" to "Focus".
- Consider removing the word "Premium" out of your slogan. Because I feel like the slogan has conflicting weight from the front and back of the slogan. (Just my opinion.)

That's all I can say without charging you an arm and a leg.

Thanks

Definitely a nice looking professionally made site. Just remember when having multiple domains point to one site. If the domain names pull up the same content as the main domain and no 301 redirect is done or a canonical URL is given then those pages will be seen as duplicate content.

Thanks vjboc. I didn't realise that would be a problem. Is it to do with Google rankings etc.

  Yes its a nice looking site, Im a bit of a tech nut myself so Ill check it out when you go live, one point, rather than just putting your last review at the top, I would be tempted to put the last 3 or maybe even 5 reviews at the top, you would probably have to reduce the space taken by each, but it may reduce your bounce rate, if its a first time visitor and you dont grab their attention quickly they may be off
  
  good luck with the site
  
  Thanks

Thanks, I thought the grey bar at the bottom with the logo is the footer?

Hi Guys, I thought I would give you an update as I really appreciated all the comments you gave me last month. I will be ready to launch in a couple of weeks so here is a link to the test platform for you to have a quick look at the site in action.

The content will be uploaded before I go live so what is there is just for testing purposes and should be ignored. I still have a list of snagging jobs such as the Most Popular box will be changing to a latest article list.

How is the general look coming along do you think?

Thanks again, you have all been awesome

awesome design!
However the font used on the header i.e. premium tech for 21st century is not so good.
The remaining design is excellent.

The line-height for the text seems a bit squashed. You might want to check out the golden ratio for typography and refer to that. The "READ MORE..." button needs to have a little more clearance between the grey button edges and the inside text.

I realy like the design, it looks very user friendly centered on the content, and i`m sure it looks great on a tablet or phone. As another member said, change those read more buttons with simple, honest and square ones. Good luck!

Thanks
