Hey Guys, Please review and critique my website. It is mainly about Top 10 Lists but there is some blogging to. http://www.numeroten.com/ Thanks
I like that fact that it has a clean layout, but the top header is too empty, particularly the search area. I'd reduce the height. I don't like the fact that it's a site about Top10, but on the homepage you list 9 things, and 2 of those 9 things is not a top ten list. On the homepage, I'd show the mother of all top10 lists, the top10 of top10. I'd also make all the images the same size.
The top ten concept is nice, but it's strange to see top ten downloaded list and a pulled pork recipe right next to it.
The first thing I see is a large empty header box with a tiny, tiny search form. Decrease the size. I'd also make the images match in size, to make it more uniform. The idea to add the "top ten" of the top ten is an excellent idea. List the top 10 most popular posts. The bottom twitter feed is a bit out of place. I think a 2-column layout would work better on the homepage (like when you click top ten and then a category), so you can list the images and top ten lists on the left content area, and have the less important things you want on the homepage on the right, such as your twitter feed ( would change the color from green to blue or dark gray, so it matches better) You should decrease the number of recent posts to list on the very bottom, it's much too large for a footer. Maybe list only the 5 most recent. There is 24. Also, I haven't read all of the top ten lists, but it's a bit disappointing that they are just that - lists. You should make them articles, and list WHY they are the top ten. Not only will this be more valuable for your readers (anyone could list anything in any order, I need to see why they picked that order to have any merit), but you will have more content and keywords on your pages. You can also have affiliate links to most of the things in your list.
