    Hi, DP members.
    I have recently launched a new site called HDFC Credit Card
    Please make a review of this site in terms of:
    1. Design (I suppose to keep it minimal, only 256 kb homepage)
    2. Ads Placement
    3. future
    4. Overall quality
    I have hired two content writers for 100 posts. please suggest me if any correction need at this site.

    Thanks a lot in advance.

    Your design is simple but perfect.
    I think your site looks pretty good. I like the professionalism that you are trying to project.
    If you change your background color I hope it will be more beautiful.

    1. Design is simple but good. (Although a darker color would be easier in the eye for users. A lot of reading you know!)

    2. Ads are ok right now, but make sure not to saturate the site with more, it's going to start looking annoying.

    3. Blog has potential. Try offering some more free resources in the future, like a manual for using credit cards to build your credit, or tools to compare the best ones. Free stuff!

    4. I'll give it a 10 .. It's good just for the fact that you did it :)

    Good luck,

    background logo could look better, is a bit yellow / pixels. And I would put cursor:pointer, so that you clearly notice that is a link going back to index page. The site looks great, you made a good job, congratulations!

    I'd add something in the header near the logo, the space looks a bit empty

    My view of your site is consistent with those who commented on the clean layout. FWIW, from a former news editor recovering from overuse of the dreaded "red pen" I offer these comments I hope you will find helpful. Mind you this is from an old-timer in the US - who also has a lot of international travel under his belt :)
    The first suggestion is to use 'present tense'. For example, change "This article will address..." to "This article addresses..." What this conveys is immediacy to the reader. There are several places in the text that benefit through this change.
    Next, consider changing the beginning of each paragraph. Instead of starting each one with the above phrase find a way to rewrite it with a strong benefit the reader will gain through utilizing the CC. Your first section is well written and engaging. The next section, dealing with the interest free period, could read something like this: "Enjoy the interest free period on your HDFC Credit Card account while you learn about the conveniences available with it. As a responsible user of the card we provide you with the opportunity to learn the about the benefits and limits as stipulated by HDFC Bank’s Terms and Conditions."
    Hope this is constructive for you. Best of luck with the site.

    Ads in the sidebars - bad idea.

    You are using HDFC logo. It is infringement. Your website can be marked as spam and removed by Google. Be careful
