Hi Folks, I makes some changes to my old site, what do you think about new design and structure? What do you think, what is good or what need to be changed / removed. URL: http://www.fashion-andyou.com/ really appreciate your reviews Thank you Andrej
Hi! I myself own a few news type sites. I have learned over the years what is functional and confusing. First I believe I would revisit your high contrast colors. Sites that require allot of reading having contrasted colors become aggravating in my opinion. Most times it is over looked like with sites like TMZ because most of their visitors view a single story than leave. Second I would rethink the tag cloud. Most everyday users don't understand what a tag cloud true functionality is. To me it makes thing look cluttered and draws a users attention away. Other than that Looks great. Lots of good information there. Well done!
Let me give you an honest feedback. Firstly: Your website/blog layout is very attractive and encourages me to go through some article before leaving pushing the close button. The color combinations and blog architecture is very appealing Secondly: You may loose the battle on branding part. The name and address of your blog/website closesly resembles an e-commerce portal which is well established. The first impression it gives to a new visitor is "Oh.. it seems a copy of fashion......com". Later they come to know that its a different blog or website. Imagine a situation where one of your blog reader gets impressed by the contents and refers to his friend. His friend while entering the URL in the address bar didnot enter the hyphen and goes to the ecommerce blog. You just lost one of your important reader and this will have replicating effect. Donot loose because of branding. Be different and think different!!!
Thanks folks for great reviews. Seemydeath : Yes i am thinking about reducing contrast colors of sites. Thanks for your view informneeraj : I think you are writing about : http://www.fashionandyou.com/ , this site is shop, my site is about news, but yes you are right about confusing new visitors, urls looks very similar, i miss this thing when i bought new URL
Sorry i think for the design need more fashionable attribute. Right now just like common news site. My suggestion to add header with something Paris, Milan related. For sidebar may be some flashy thumbnails about fashion wear that will be nice.
Everything is perfect...but I have one question - is it an e-commerce site or just a normal blog site?
