Hi people, I have just redesigned my blog and I need an opinion on how it looks like and what might be improved. Please focus on: 1. Logo: Is the logo brandable? 2. Colors (combination): Are the colors right? Is the combination right? 3. Monetization: Are ads at the proper place? 4. The overall design The site for review is wplancer.com. Thanks very much! Banago
1. Logo: Is the logo brandable? Doesn't really tell me what the website is about... 2. Colors (combination): Are the colors right? Is the combination right? Love the colour combo 3. Monetization: Are ads at the proper place? Yes, ok, although I would maybe try some centred, smack in the middle of the webpage 4. The overall design Excellent, I like it, easy navigation. Good luck with it
@workathomeshop: Thanks for the very explanatory advice. One more question: do you have any idea how to make my logo more brandable - or to be able to represent more my blog nature and my services? @kingofsanda: Thanks for your reply too - I really need encouragement.
hey!! I really like the blog!! I just love it!! A logo is needed for branding but is not an absolute neccessity I say it even though it means loss of business for me. Design is impeccable but I dont think the colours guarantee a good CTR for your Website
@silent_thunder: Thanks very much for you reply! Do you have any suggestion how to improve what you thing needs to be improved. I would really appreciate it.
I think the colour and design is very nice. You could however perhaps add a tagline in the header image to help with branding and telling people what your site is about. Re the advertising 125x125 banners, I'm guessing perhaps you haven't finished and still playing with design but I would think have at max two empty "advertise here" boxes, even if they are ads that you are not recieving revenue for it will help add to the perception that you have other people willing to advertise with you to potential advertisers
Jackmo, thanks very much for the review. Your advice about the logo is great - I think I will fowllow it. And yes, you are right abuot the advertismet boxes, I just have not worked on that part of the site yet. Thanks very much!
@advancedfuture: Thanks very much! This is really an encouraging review with proper critics. Thanks very much again for your time!
I agree with Jackmo's post. It might be helpful to adding some text by the logo explaining what the purpose of the site is. Other than that the site is very professional looking.
