The site is very nice. The only thing bad about the site is the header. The header is kinda ugly. Everything else on the site looks good. Ill rate your site 7/10
It looks great.!! but I agree with themtkid in header, you can put graphics on your header to looks great.
tips-to-get-a-free-ipod-touch.html so many dashes - it looks spammy... Have that slash at the end when you link back to your home page - http:// freeipodsetc.co.uk/
Thanks for the comments. Very helpful. What do you reckon I should do with the header? Keep it orange but change it a lot? phpindia, what will the dash help with? Cheers
I think phpindia means use short page names. I think he has a point. Especially for the kind of site it is. The header colours are ok, but you need an overhaul, mate. A logo that fits well and the site name in big letters. then the "slogan" underneath. If I'm blunt (don't be offended, I hope that my honesty will help), it looks like an updated version of 90s splash pages to sell ebooks and miracle software. They're still used. Part of that is psychology (people are more likely to skip the babble and buy based upon the miracle marketing slogans seen at the top of the page) but if you want people to digest the information you present rather than skip it then follow the KISS theory: "Keep It Simple Stupid". What that translates to: I visit your page, it's overloaded with information so I closed the tab and can't be bothered to read and follow what are probably simple steps. Keep the information on point.
I do like the idea of the site (even tho I have too many bad associations with the old get a free X-Box ads ALL OVER the net to even try this out, personally). One thing I think that would win over the skeptics? SHOW PICTURES! Instead of trying to convince me with words that this stuff is all free and easy to get, show me you actually holding some of the things you've gotten. You show YouTube videos from the BBC and CNN.. those are great, but what about a simple shot of you (or even a friend?) talking about and showing off the goodies and telling how it all works. You don't need to be Billy Mays to make sales, you know. People like these "reality" based shows and maybe them seeing you would up the trust factor. Hope this helps!
having the slash (not dash) at the end will reduce the browser <-> server communication, which leads to shorter loading time and less bandwidth usage.
Color combination and information is good except for the header and footer. I dont know why, maybe too many free spaces and text. Anyway, i like your sidebars curly deco.
