    My friend and I already built a website. ( http://www.beskot.com/ ).

    Actually, we still not finish with it. We want to give a wonderful simple design to the website. What should we do? Which part should we edit?

    The website is almost like Adwords, Adbrite and other. You can advertise from us if you want and your ads will come out from our publishers' sites. However, we offer the service for free. No need for you to bid for any price! That is the main of my our website.

    I think, I just want to have a simple design... almost like Google.com if we can... please give your suggestions on what should we do. :)

    Are you looking for suggestions or just wanting people to know about your site? Because I visited the link and it looks as if you're already in operation and don't so much need opinions on your site as you need people to fill out the form and advertise their service.

    What I would suggest is that you make it more clear to people what your site is all about. You tell people to advertise their product or service but you don't tell them what happens to the information once they fill it out and submit it to you, who sees it and so on. You might get more people to fill out their information if they had some idea what happens to it once they submit it.

    No... the launch day will be on 1st Disember 07. Yeah! Now, it's working well. I know that... but I'm asking for the design of the page. If not, I'll now state it here. I've thousands more ways to promote it. I'll not use this way to promote it.

    Now, my site already had a logo and a combination of pink colour in the page. Is it ok? Anyone has any ideas on what should we do... I want to make it looks more rofessional but now, I think it doesn't.

    My site is about advertisement. Maybe you've any design idea on site in that category.

    Adbrite and Adwords are moving under companies but mine is not. I want it looks like moving under a company. That's why I want it to has a professional design. So, suggestion from you are needed. What should I add in the site? Do you think I need to have a mega edit on my site? or else...

    The logo is nice and I see you explain about the site in the TOS. I still think it should be more clear to the user what the site's about without having to click on the terms of service. You'd be surprised how many people will overlook the terms of service link.

    Pink isn't a very professional color, but you could find someone else who might disagree with that assessment. That sort of thing is subjective.

    Color aside the page looks clean enough. Nothing wrong with the layout. If you want it to look like there's a company behind it though, you might want to take the pink out, put a little bit more information on the page and not use the adsense in such an obvious place.

    Is it better for me to explain my visitor about my site using text? or better explain to them by using graphics?

    Other than pink, what color you suggest?

    I think, if I use more graphics to explain about my site, it'll look nice... but it's not seo friendly. maybe.

    Thanks for your comment. :) Hope you'll respond on my questions and also others. :)

    Is it ok if I remove the 'pink' and let it white? I plan to have less text and replace those texts with graphics.

    the advertisement will appear in our banner in our publishers' sites. for example, look at http://www.earncent.com/blog/ . It's one of our publishers.

    yeah, i guess, maybe a light shade of gray, pale ivory or off-white.

    i saw the ad box you are syndicating, on the malay blog. you're doing a pretty good job then. i think you need to get that message out better. there should be some hype on your page... "see your ad run on thousands of pages" and put up some examples also, on your front page, like the one you showed me. people will go crazy... it will also be good for the blogs who carry the ads to get link love from your front page.

    I see you changed the design. Are you sure about the black text though? Again it's a matter of taste but from the standpoint of maintaining a professional appearance I'm not sure it's the best choice. If you keep it though, shouldn't you match the title font color in the adsense with the the shade of blue used in the Beskot.com headline on the page (not the logo but the headline above the text explaining what the site is/does) I think the hex value is #43648D and maybe the url font color should also match some color in the template. The green is out of nowhere. Just some suggestions.
