Seventh -> RE: critique my site (8/21/2006 3:03:11)
|
My 2 cents:
1. Home page
- There seems to be a large amount of space between the FIND EASILY and SAVE YOUR TIME sections. And the graphics do not seem to fit the rest of the page.
- The WEB DIRECTORY box should be lined up with the SEARCH box. And there's also a lot of wasted space between the links.
- The color scheme is suitable for the content.
2. Home page
- I think the blue headings should be closer to the blue in the header.
- There seem to be indents in portions of the page that aren't in other sections of the page.
- Website is spelled two (2) different ways (website and web site) on the page. Stick with one.
- Some elements are capitalized in one paragraph, but not in others.
- The links within your paragraphs are different (font) sizes compared to the rest of the surrounding text. Make it all the same size.
- Your WEBSITE CREDIBILITY SCORE section/graphics seem to have a top margin of '0' as it sits right up against the paragraph directly above it.
3. FAQ
- The centered text at the top doesn't work with the rest of the page.
- The links within your paragraphs are different (font) sizes compared to the rest of the surrounding text. Make it all the same size.
- Two different font families. One for the numbers and one for the FAQ's. Pick one.
- Doesn't seem to be finished as there's nothing else on the page...like answers.
- Left margin seems to be different than other pages.
4. Free Articles
- Top header/background spreads to both margins unlike the other pages mentioned above.
- Some of your main headers in this section need some type of padding to distinguish them. Right now they're bumping into each other. And the 'normal-to-bold' hover effect throws the page out-of-whack.
- LAST ARTICLE headings seem too small for the content below them.
- ARTICLE TRAFFIC STATISTICS link/page does not sit at the top of the browser like the other pages mentioned above. The page itself also has multiple font sizes.
5. Submit Websites/Articles
- This page has some of the same attributes listed above. I would consider revisiting it.
6. Privacy Policy
- This page has some of the same attributes listed above. I would consider revisiting it.
7. Contact Us
- This page has some of the same attributes listed above. I would consider revisiting it.
- Address should have caps or no caps.
- The email address is different than the site.
8. Footer
- The links all run together. Put some spacing inbetween them to make them stand out more.
Other Things
- Is it ExcellentGuide, Excellent Guide, or Excellentguide. Pic one and stick with it.
- Some of the pages have a line just above the footer. Some do not.
- The links in some of the sections above lead to a page that has a different layout than the other pages. I actually like the layout, yet my issue is with continuity.
Exiting notes:
Continuity seems to be the biggest problem here. And from my own personal experience, lack of continuity with your own branding 'implies' a lack of your professionalism when handling my project - even though you may be the best at what you do. Yet, I wouldn't use this service based on what I've mentioned above. Simple and plain.
I hope you don't take this for more than what it is as it is simply my observation of what I see.
Other than that, if you need help let us know. That's what we're here for.[;)]
