Please review my new blog about soccer betting. I just finished the design and registered my domain. I'd like to know what you guys think of Soccer Betting King. Your feedback is appreciated.
Nice blog with attractive header image and it was fine in loading too.But there are lot of empty spaces and need a good looking color schemes to impress more.
Well, I intended to keep the design nice and clean. But I agree with you that the design still needs some work. Any specific ideas? I just added a Twitter service to my blog, hopefully this will give me some attention in the soccer betting community. So far I had some quality picks.
nice idea, but why blogspot? you said you registered the domain right? I would move it over to wordpress, they have some nice themes that would fit perfectly with what you're doing. To monetize it you could setup easily a membership site and charge those who love sports betting for the latest secrets of the trade, how to improve their odds of winning etc... good luck with the site
I just registered the domain for €9 a year. Setting up a complete website would take much more time and money (upgrade my hosting package). For me it's easy to maintain this blog with Blogger (I'm not to experienced with website design) and it doesn't take much time at all. I don't have the time to spend a couple of hours every week to maintain a blog. Also I do not really have intentions to fully monetize this blog, because I think offering free betting tips is a nice niche market. Fun is the key factor in this blog and I'm curious to see how far I can bring this blog up to the search engines (and yes I know WP is more SEO friendly but like I said I don't want to spend to much time on it). Anyway thank you for the review, any comments on the design?
The header is nice, I agree. You should visually differentiate between the parts of the site. Now it seems little chaotic for me. Users should be able to understand what the web site is about and how is organized for 1 to max 3 seconds, once visiting it. Maybe if you try to put different regions in different background/borders, but without mixing too many colors. Try to stay consistent with 'soccer-related' colors.
I added a grass pattern to the sidebar. Still thinking of how to differentiate the sidebar from the main wrapper, any ideas? What do you guys think of the pattern? Does it look good or is it just to much for the blog.
Thanks mate, I have to say I'm pretty happy with the layout so far. Anyway I'm still looking to make some improvements, so feedback is very much appreciated.
With the new background it looks much better to me. Once you visit the site you quickly know what it is about. I'm not sure for long you have the site. If users are familiar with current design it may not be recommended to make dramatic changes within short period of time. Otherwise users may think that this is another site. You can still work on how to differentiate parts on your content, but for now you should be fine. I think that you made a great success since the last time I saw it!
The site is barely a week old or so. I haven't done any advertisement at all, first I want to finish the site design and SEO.
Your site is very simple and clean and I think it looks good. I love the use of color the grass background is a very nice effect.
