What suggestions do you have.


edit: my friend says its too green, your thoughts?

 

6.8

I agree with your friend. I'm not fond of the middle yellow-green, but the site is attractive overall.

Also, I would check the context settings on the chitika... they were showing me pet food

 

Colors are fine for a recipe site. 7/10.

 

you mean the middle two shades of yellow?

lol, i noticed the cat food... how do i remove that?

 

Yup, the yellow that the map and the adsense sit on in the center column.

Not sure about chitika; I'm only running it on one site and it is pulling pretty good contextual ads for me. I think there is a way to specify your own keywords so you might try that for a bit.

 

usability 7
appeal 5
uniqueness 5

 

6/10

Yes your greens are some annoying. Look at the usage of green at this site:
http://www.haveamint.com/

Try to use some darker (not shining) greens.

 

I think its ironic that the "find it for you" link can barely be found itself. I'd underline those links so people know they are navigational.

 

ughhh 3/10 ..quite bad..the colors everything

 

Hmm .. I got some idea on what to cook for dinner tonight. Thanks to you.

Unfortunately, the page is a bit bright for me. I'll give it 5/10, base on the content. I think you should do something about the background color.

I wouldn't use that greenish-yellow for the background. I'll leave it white so that I could add boxes of yelow or lighter green.

I used some of yalls advice. better?

 

Yes, definately better

 

Ditto.

The new layout does appear a little better, but still a 4.

Cheers,

JL

 

uhhh... why a 4?

 

i didnt like the domain extension!

 

I'd give it a 4. It's not completely terrible, but it needs a lot of help. The green is way too much for my tastes.

 

Well, the design didn't appeal to me (but then that's just my opinion of course - I have no idea the business logic you intend, but I didn't really find it that engaging - just too plain for me)..

Cheers,

JL
