Completely new design for SmoothEntrepreneur.com -- Please review

    For those of you who remember this website a few months back, I decided to put in the time to completely update the design...and I think it looks pretty good.

    Feedback on everything is appreciated. Also, I am thinking of getting a logo designed here...just a very simple one with just words with a bit of style to them. Right now its just text for SEO purposes. Do you think its worth replacing the words with an image? The image might look a bit better, but will not have the same SEO effect.

    Thanks in advance!

    Nice work. even though I don't recall seeing the previous version.

    You can definitely get away with a text logo to complement on page SEO (use a different color though ta make it more unique and bright). But don't forget you can always get a nice image logo, and just use the logo text in plain text, as a domain referral (smoothentrepreneur.com) right below the logo image.


    Good luck.

    You can also try the word "Entrepreneur" with a different color other than blue, I'd play with a flat red, or a money green.

    The word "Smooth" looks good in plain black.

    Yeah, I might switch to a green color since people subliminally equate green with money and business. Plus none of my competitors uses a green color scheme.

    The new design is way better than the first one but a regular one.

    I agree it's regular, but its professional and it's clean, which it what I was looking for.

    Of course that's the ultimate goal, but when you are dealing with a cash-strapped start-up, taking baby steps towards the goal is usually the only way.

    Your blog looks good, with a nice theme and nice content.

    Does it clearly look like a blog? Or does it look like my competitors -- www.entrepreneur.com, www.inc.com, etc? It's important to me to convey more of a magazine vibe as opposed to a blog vibe.

    I love the layout....but I think if you change the BG color from white to a light gray or something may help it 'pop' a little more
