Its quite a while since.....

Hi Forum,

Its quite a while since, i think more than a year or two probably, i designed my website http://www.tocreateasite.com . Reason being just my full time job and family. was bit hard to work 5 or 6 days in wok and come home later work on website. so i left it half way through. Now i resigned my full time job and looking start off where i left.

its quite a while since i designed any thing. i am planning to restructure everything and planning to finish my dream website in month or two and start blog. what are the trends these days?? do you think i should change any thing??

All suggest are welcome.


thanks

jas

 

- Don't fill your website up with advertising, or at least don't merge it in with your actual article text. I know you think you're being 'creative' and trying to sneak it in so that someone might click on it, but then you are basically deceiving and doing a disservice to anyone who wants to read your article. It's not like you're going to be making much off adsense anyways, so why handicap yourself? In most cases you devalue your actual article by placing ads inside the article area.

- I haven't read your article but from the general formatting of it, it doesn't seem very engaging and lacks proper formatting. I would also advise use of imagery and larger font sizes for headers, maybe even use different colors to make things stand out more. Check out http://SmashingMagazine.com for a good way to attract and engage users in articles.

Good luck.

 

Yeah, GWiz is right.

Another issue is this: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.tocreateasite.com/

Well, you want to tell people how to create a website... but your site is full of errors.

Do not place ads inside an article!

It's annoying and the ad is looking like the content (against Google's AdSense rules!).

 

Hi GWiz,

I never planned to earn anything from this website. you probably right, its does devalue article by placing ads inside the article area. I am planning to reconstructed whole website including formatting.

thanks for critics
