Hi professional designer, Could you guys please take a look at my site here and give me your opinion about site design. Is it necessary to revamped in site design? or just need to tweak in current design only? Please help.
I think its okay, actually you can get some ideas here but the truth is the fact that design is an art work, a simple designed web page with the necessary things put in place might appeal more to the online crowd than a more sophisticated design that is not easy to navigate.
From a design standpoint I think that it is pretty straight-forward design. Here are a few items I would say and this is looking just at the first page. 1. The links on the right hand side with the orange headers are excessive it is double stacked and I think it might be much. 2. Length -- I know that it is blog type postings with reviews but I feel you should still limit the length of the page. Let the user browse to "see more" if they want to. 3. I am not sure where you got the header image from but at first glance the site looks like you are a hosting service. To clarify your purpose it might be a good idea by taking the right upper hand description and making more of a focal point. 4. It seems you are pushing for IX Webhosting or are in bed with them in some way. I am sorry if this seems critical this is a quick little note I apologize if I step on toes.
Not any offense has been taken. Please don't worry It's fine and thank you very much for your honest critic. This is what I'm looking for, especially from a designer standpoint. - I tried to represent this blog as a web hosting reviews/comparison and not hosting provider itself. That header has been changed many times to make this represent but it didn't work as I expected and I don't know why. - I tried to limit length in all posts already by shortage them with "read more" but it still a very long one. I'm considering to reduce number of post per page instead. - No, I'm not in bed with an IX one That has to be there because it is number one of the month. Actually, this rating has been updated monthly but may not in some month if there is no change in web hosting providers promotion. If I found some hosting which is better then it would be moved to a top position as replacement of current IX one, and yeah, I may sleep again with HostGator (almost not possible for hostgator to come the top in my rating, after compared promotions/features/price with each other. They cannot win.)
nice design, good SEO. bad points - is it me or is everything left aligned? - connect the header to the main content as the search bar white will blend in nicely - the site is a little content heavy and reminds me of a blog other than that i really like the header design!
