Hi there, I'm looking for critique towards my new website, Proffer.ca. Purpose: Proffer.ca is a network of Paralegals across the Greater Toronto Area (aiming for Cananda-wide). Clients post their traffic tickets/speeding tickets on the website, and Paralegals bid their fees on the ticket. 1) How well does the website portray the purpose? 2) How's your load time? 3) Any suggestions, features, modifications? Thanks!
Hi, 1. Really hard to understand what the website is about or how it works, I would suggest add big H1 and even H2 above the main box that explains the concept/idea/what you need to do 2. Really slow, above 10s, it's quite weird because the site coding is decent and gtmetrix / pingdom give pretty good scores, I am from Israel. 3. The overall design is pretty good, however here are some small tips that will make it look even better: Never use 10px font size on web, it's useless, you might aswell don't write anything I am talking about the top right blue buttons, increase their font size to 12 Make the font size of the 3 options "Post a ticket" etc.. 18 instead of 15 and place them closer to the blue circles and remove this ugly shadow from them Fix pixelation of blue circles and the small search icon, it looks bad Remove ugly shadow from the big text at the footer, looks really amature / not clean, instead yo ushould consider placing the text over a black strip with transparency, if you still prefer to use shadow and not black strips, you should be much more 'gentle' with the shadow usage. Extra tip: Make it so the 'clean' area of the tickets: http://awesomescreenshot.com/07e1j5jq40 is also clickable Hope it helped, Eliran.
Pretty hard to understand right away what the website is for. I thought it was a social media site until I scrolled to the bottom. I agree with the poster above, overall the design is very good. You can easily put that description at the bottom right above where it says: Post a Ticket Paralegals Bid Pick Lowest Bid. Make the font smaller and without any shadow. Also, on your signup page it's not clear if I can signup with my facebook, twitter, g+ accounts, or I still have to sign up via the email. To me it should look kinda like this:
Thanks for the replies! I will be working to implement these suggestions. Wow Wasted, you sure don't like shadows huh? lol
Hehe, shadows should be done carefully, the way you did them on your site is very old and 'dirty' in my opinion.
The idea is quit good, but still it seems that you have servers issue.. It took me like 3 times to refresh untill it uploaded... Or you are playing with it
Shadows are still too dark and a little too 'smudgy' if you ask me and also the sentence isn't centered on that bottom thing background
