I have a new site: techreferrals.com (it's an old domain but I just gave it a presence). Website: http://www.techreferrals.com Anyway, my goal is to make the site as simple as possible and direct (to the point). I would like feedback on the ease of use and navigation. Currently, there are no sign-ups or members but feel free to signup or join if you'd like. Also, I still have finishing touches, such as: content for FAQ's, privacy policy, terms, etc. Anyway, you should still be able to get the gist of what the site is about and be able to navigate. Please tell me if this is a 'back out' site or if you think it is interesting or enticing at first look. Thanks.
1. I think it would be helpful if you put (at the very least) a brief intro description that summarizes what the site is about. Otherwise, your visitors will have to dig to figure it out. 2. Make the font size of the links at the bottom 1 or 2 pixels bigger. 3. Also, you may want to make the links look a little better by not having the ">" highlighted too. Try this: > <a href="wm.php?"?>Lounge</a> or » <a href="wm.php?"?>Lounge</a> -Jon
The links look and work better now. Good Job. I still have no idea what the site is about as a random visitor passing by. -Jon
Ok. I was going for the Google straight to the point and simple feel, but I guess that doesn't work in this case. I'm thinking about revamping the site completely. I'll just have to find the time to work on it. Please all, continue to feel free to post comments, reviews, and suggestions. Thanks.
Clean layout, but I agree something saying what the site is for. Even a small table under the main conent with a quick description would help greatly, IMO
Okay. I haven't revamped anything (as of yet), but I did add some text to the homepage to hopefully give people a general idea what the site is when they visit. Thumbs up! or Thumbs down! -- Dump it! or Pump it!
Much better now! Good idea for a site too. One small thing, I think the font is a little too big for View Projects. Also, you should underline that link...just to be safe. Good luck!
Thanks Crazy Rob I took your suggestion and made the View Projects smaller and underlined it. It does look better with that change! Thanks.
That's a good start... "Pump it!" I'm glad you added the link to VIEW PROJECTS that helps out too.. You may want to provide some sort of guarantee too. -Jon
Much better now that you have a description. It's similiar to scriptlance huh? I would keep it and see how it goes. Thumbs up!
Hi Antonaf, I don't think the "Deposit Money" should be first and largest item read on the page, but right now it is. If you would take the Do you need a service provider? Do you need a programmer? Do you need a graphic designer? lines and make those first (along with increasing their font size), you would help people understand your site better. Think of it from the end user point of view. Why are they coming to your site? Is it to find a programmer or deposit money? Sell the site and they WILL deposit money.
It is too simple. can't you put in some graphics or colors. Because it simple looks like a sales page.
Okay guys. I have had a makeover and made some changes to http://www.TechReferrals.com Please take a look and give your reviews. Those who saw the (before) site should see a big difference in the (after) site. I still have some backend work to do, but the frontend is pretty much ready and accepting new registrations, but not accepting deposits of money (yet).
Looks real solid, clean layout, stretches properly with desktop resolution.. and most importantly it's easy on the eyes! Few simple suggestions - make your logo link back the home page, and maybe bring a little more colour into the background on the main part? Perhaps a gradient fading from blue to white, ending right where the projects begin. I assume this site will be similar to scriptlance ?
