www.moneymaven.org My site is aimed at the "everyday" person so I tried to avoid jargon and articles that discuss the economy in depth because let's face it, we're not all economists. Most people just want some simple ways to earn and save money to get them through this hard time we're all going through. I'm unsure about the skin, any suggestions on that would be welcome. Also is there anything major I am missing? Bear in mind it's my first site so be kind. Thank you in advance.
Thank you for your replies everyone. The purpose of the website is to provide ways for people to earn and/or save extra money. Eventually I would like to try and earn something from the site. I'm thinking the theme is too formal, after all it's aimed at everyday people like us not financial institutions. What does everyone else think?
Looks simple and clean. The header portionis is a bit clumsy ... you can try putting a nice header / logo . the rest all looks perfect! Good luck!
I don't like your design. Use of shade of bluee/green is very flat, no contrast. I think you can find free templates that are better designed.
The first fold of your website contains only 1 single plain image. try to add something interesting towards the top. I have gone through your content & they look good.
Customize with social network plugins it will helps you to promote more easy as well as to drive traffic. Looks very simple!
This section is for design, so I will limit my comments to that. When you land on the home page, the picture of the pig on the beach is very appealing. I am immediately thinking save so that I can be enjoying some exotic get away. Next element to hit me is the use of the word bliss. I don't usually associate bliss with finances perhaps that is because of my English heritage and its usage denoting ecstasy. My next point I think would have universal resonance, the geographic center of the page is a link to mystery shoppers. My first thought is what has that got to do with financial bliss? Even if I accept your premise of the site as a simple site designed to help people make wise decisions with their money, I still don't see how mystery shoppers fit in. I hope these suggestions are useful. They are just my impressions so please feel free to disregard them if I simply don't understand what you hope to achieve.
Try changing theme. It's not so good when you see site and first you can think of is: "Hey! This is another wordpress site."
