    Nice concept... but you should add some graphic images or something to fill the white spaces...

    One thing is completely wrong: the hyphen - . You should have been able to find a domain without ---.

      yes very true, its a very new site, im currently doing A/B testing on it at the moment, to make a usable website.

      yeh for the domain i couldnt find a lot of idea, i really liked the idea of quoteable.com but that was taken

      thanks for the feedback though.

    I just g+ed and pinned a couple of quotes.

    This is a really nice site, clean to look at and easy to use.

    I would agree with the above comment. Add a graphic and also a tag line stating that this is a collection of quotes to share at the press of a button.

    Congrats.

        It loads fine, but as others have pointed out, way too much white space, but congratulations on getting the site up.

        I don't think your domain is all that bad. It's tough to get a good one nowadays.

    Hey nodesolomo, add some images. Better header with a logo should be fine, you can also add background boxes behind the texts so it's not just negative space and fonts everywhere we look. good luck.

    How can a person add a quote? I don't see any button to do this. I think a wp theme with pictures blocks (like a magazine theme) would be better and you could make it the "popular" quotes, or favorites, etc. Then have the lists. If each quote is its own image, this shouldn't be too hard.

      Hey Michelle, thanks for the review:

      - at the moment users can't add quotes, we have over 60,000 unique quotes on our database.

      - the quotes are actual texts, but when you click on the piniterest, our server turns that text into an image so you can pin it on pinterest on the next page

      - can you clarify about the WP theme?

      Thanks )

    Go on fiverr and have someone make you a little character logo, like a cute person/animal, etc with a speech bubble that says quote-able.com in it. Then create a fun header with it. Liven it up and make it fun to want to stay and read. Maybe a voting system where it brings to the top the quotes that are most shared.

    Ok, I looked into it and it might be best to use a "photograph" wp theme. Here is a link to a page with a bunch of them. "Beat" looks cool. I like the wood background. Sort of reminds me of a retro bowling ally
    Keep me updated. I love this stuff.
    I'm not sure how I even got on this post, I was in the middle of something... damn "adult adhd" !
    70+ Best WordPress Photography Themes – Want More Exposure?
    link to the site I found

    (I am editing this because I only said "link to the site I found" and made it a link. The other was an html link that seems to have turned into a link that says 70+ best wordpress phot..... (but looking at it it looks like I put that in to try to sell it to you. Rest assured, I have no affiiation with them) I just don't want you to get the wrong idea, because I DID when I read that.

        Hey everyone,

        sorry for disturbing you, this is my new design, only an image attached, it should be going live today at night.

        - At the beginning everyone was saying its too simple and white.
        - After another iteration, KinghtMighty said it was too WP(wordpress) looking lol
        - This is my third iteration, what do you guys think, i love your honesty warriors

        Thanks again

Google penalises (downranks) any site without sufficient original content so the site wont rank well or pass on PR to your main site. The way around this is to have a comment section below each quote (on the individual quote page) which will generate orignal content for you - get ranks and promote your site. Nice and clean site and a good idea for traffic funnelling.
      Thanks for your advice, i was thinking about making comments under each quote(what deos this quote mean kind of thing?) and some gamifaction element to submitting new quotes and authors. and to make a community around these famous quotes. thanks for your advice again, would like to hear from you more.

      Thank you very much for the heads up, much appreciated, i think its very important to listen to advice, i would rather someone tell me your website is SH*T, then someone just saying its good just for the sake of being nice, progress is good, anyway thanks

        Can you add a header to it? I was waiting to see the impact it had on me when it loaded.

        I look and I'm continually thinking: "is this it? Oh there's the header!"

        Brilliant idea and this will be so uplifting but an image that hits one nicely as it loads, will do wonders for the site I feel. Best of luck with it; thanks for sharing.

    Based on your brief description, the design seems to lend itself very well toward your goal. It is very simple and minimizes fluff. What isn't mentioned in your post is what you want your audience to do specifically.

    For fun, I always like to run my designs through an attention mapping service like:
    Feng-GUI - Attention Analysis for Websites and Advertisements
    You can generate a few maps without paying!

    Although this is a simulated attention map, it may help you gain more perspective on capturing the attention of your audience.

    From a web design and usability standpoint, the menu containing "Famous Quotes, Authors, and Topics" should have greater space between the menu items. In my first 30 seconds looking over and browsing the site, I thought it was just a sentence or tagline until I realized it didn't make sense as one cohesive phrase.

    You have single spaces between words and double spaces between links. You can space the links, for example, 20px or more to really make them stand out.

    Its very nice and clean.

    What I would do is on the right site the navigation. I would change the links a bit, because they look to me a bit "spammy" and I cant find what I search.

    Just focus on the navigation, and it will be a very good site.

    The design is very good too. Good luck!
