Review my Australian Bacpacking site!

Discussion in 'Websites' started by Beanz, Sep 30, 2009.

    Hi!

    Me and some fellow bacpackers have recently started a new blog/website:
    http://backpackaustralia.net/

    What do you think of the site? Is the information easy to find? Is the design good? Any feedback will be greatly appreciated!

    i said this is professional website, the site desain is nice and make people interest to browsing and reading your site
    but why you not use .com
    because .com is more familiar then .net

    Very good job on the design.

    Try to make your buttons/font sizes more symmetrical, the text inside the gold buttons if made different (size maybe?) from text in the top navigation bar would make it easier to navigate once separated to the eye.

    And you might want to categorize or do a small list with links to your attractions when of course you compile more attractions, instead of scrolling way way down.

    Hope that helps.

    Nice blog, a lot of pictures. But try add video from youtube, or somewhere. Australia is very good country for tourism, and need to have a lot of video about.

    Nice layout and template and it was fast in loading too.But the contents are very less and need to add more and the header image doesn't matches with the entire theme.

    Thanks to everyone else for the feedback. I know the content is still quite poor, but we are currently working on it! :)

    i personall don't like the fonts being used. sorta choppy looking. and in general the site has a bit too much coming at me when it pops up -- maybe the toppers you're using for the sidebars could be faded intot he background a bit. general color contrast issues like that.

    The design is on point, I myself don't find the niche to be fairly interesting but if I did this site looks like one I'd use for some information. I just feel like it is a tad bit boring, but I guess that just might be the information in iteself. But great job none the less.

    Not bad
    One thing: I saw a menu list on the left hand site while you have already had similar thing on top, I guess you may want to keep either one, not both.
