Hi, guys. I had juz started out in the website developing life at the end of last year after reading so much positive feedbacks on how webmasters are actually making a decent living out of it. I wouldn't want to just dream about it. I want to achieve something of much level or even higher. You can see my current project at http://www.consolewatcher.com. It has been 5 months old now, and while it has quite some content, it hasn't been able to take off as i wanted it to. Please leave me any comment on the look and feel of the website, how can it be improved and promoted. Thanks.
For me, the site is to busy. It is hard for me to follow what I'm reading. Also, I'd like the nav buttons up top to be bold or larger font, because t hose too are hard to read. I would also make a better header image, but keep the clean look. Hope this help!
it's too busy? u mean crowded? I made the decision to use a 3 column instead for a 2 column. Column 1 -content (and ads) column 2 - recent news and stuffs column 3 - ads Talking about the header image, yeah, i'm still looking for one. Anyone with good ideas? Comments plz?
I don't like the adsense column at the top, it's the first thing I see, I should be seeing the titles of the blog to entice me to read them. I don't like the secondary right column (with subscribe in it), I think this should be merged with the primary right column, because right now only 1/3 of your page is content, the right is adverts and archives. I also don't like the Console Watcher header, it would look 10x better if it had a collage of ingame screenshots of some kind, blended with a more distinct font. Other than that, it's pretty good... just space out the content more and give it more of a media rich feel (video game sites are allowed to be graphically loud).
I still think that 3 columns are fine these days, well, maybe the content in it isn't for the time being, I'll work on that. Thanks for the comments.
