Long time reader, first time review requester: http://www.bobafind.com/ The main thing I'm looking for is design and aesthetic improvements I can make. I will take any critiques I get as constructive, but I'm hoping to see where I can improve the look of the site. My idea for the next design is much more subtle, no yellow and purple colors, more simple graphics to complement the design rather than being a Left nav top header clone like I am now. Try to be as detailed as possible when giving suggestions, I really want to make this site better. Thanks everyone, I know I'm asking the right people
It think this may be a typo. Overall, it's very clean, easy to navigate and informative. I've never heard of this before. (can't say I have any desire to try it either) The main thing I noticed were the links at the bottom of the page under the navigation. "Refurbished Computers" just seems incredibly out of place on this site. The only other comment is that the fourms look completely disconnected from the rest of the site. The colors aren't even close. It's hard to tell that they are all part of the same site. Otherwise, it looks very nice and very professional. Good luck.
Others have mentioned this. It is a phonetic convention used in dictionaries and such, but it seems that I should fix it. Not many people (including me) know how to write dictionary-style phonetics - I had to actually look that symbol up. and it is probably confusing my users. Search for a cafe in your area - it's actually REALLY good, and you can get it without the pearls if that seems gross to you. That's my contribution to the Free Coop Ad Network run by Shawn. I agree that they look out of place - I will probably remove them, since I have a large enough ad weight from other sources and the actual number of content pages on this site is rather low (less than 20). It shouldn't affect me too much. Good eye. I am struggling with this, since I want to make my site and forums coordinate, but I am wondering whether people see my color choices / style as amateurish. That's one of the reasons I'm requesting this review - If there are enough comments about the style of the main page, I will change it, then change the forums to match - custom skinning a forum is not a day's work, so I want to make sure I get it right the first, er... second time Comments much appreciated, mopacfan.
I would go with a mixture of navy blue and medium brown shades in the website style colors and forum. It would fit much better for your product type. Max
I don't mind the color choice for products like this. I liked the header layout. There seems to be a color mismatch in the purple section however a little more than halfway across. I think you might benefit from a different left nagivation. It seems a little basic. Even something as simple as adding a border. Example. You might consider adding a hyperlink to the home page from your header logo. It's pretty common and almost instinctual for many visitors who have used the web for a while. Just my two cents... good luck!
the main part of the page (ie the center ... white part) looks too ordinary ... like a text file ... i suggest u change the background to a light shade ..
I was reading a marketing gurus blog. He posted a study that readers looked at the left side of a page. I have also noted is that yellow attracts a reader's eye. Like a yellow highlighter. So your page takes your readers to your header block and left column. Is that what you want? I would take the yellow out of the header and down it down on the left column. Are you selling something? yellow highlight that link. Look at my page in my profile I am experimenting with this highlighting the "money" links Also This link www bobafind.com/tero-dump/wikipedia/http://iki.fi/karvinen/terodump on this page www bobafind.com/tero-dump/index.php?page=index.html looks dead. Cool wiki thing.
I like the color scheme and the layout. The only thing I would change is this: "Bubble tea / Pearl Tea / Boba location finder / store locator" They looks like they should be links, but they arn't...
I like the find a bob search thing. Cool. I am going. Too white. Make the main page background the color of your bob drink on the right and the left table background the color of your bob drink in the left.
Anything in here help you out? can't post after 10? I am new here also, so I don't know if you annoy the mods if you pm them. But that is something you could try.
I like the design. It is simple and clean. One thing I noticed is, your forum theme is not the same with your home page. Overall it is pretty good. Good luck!
They make me thirsty! I was thinking (scary I know) I would probably search for a coffee shop location. So maybe you can add an article how boba tea is an alternate to coffee shops (cool place to hang out you know) I found these on wordtracker. Try digital points keyword suggestion tool. coffee shops coffee shop amsterdam coffee shops coffee shop menu starting a coffee shop coffee shop franchises coffee shop designs amsterdam coffee shop coffee shop pictures how to start a coffee shop coffee shop franchise coffee shop equipment opening coffee shop coffee shop decor coffee shop business plan and its mispelling amsterdam coffeeshops coffeeshop easy going maastricht coffeeshop cannabis holland coffeeshop tours coffeeshop photos coffeeshops holland coffeeshop tours online coffeeshop online coffeeshops victoria's restaurant and coffeeshop And you know not to use a competitors name on your site or they will lawyer you up, try to get you banned and other nastiness.
Looks very good, the only qualm would have to be, as mentioned before, the brights are too bright, and the middle too large and empty looking. Try defining a set width and see how that looks. I don't personally care for the tapioca thing,I have had it. it's definately a city thing but it is spreading. A lot of fans in manhattan, esp. downtown.
