Hey guys... I just launched a personal site about myself and poker affiliating in general. I was wondering what you guys thought about the layout and color. The header has a picture of me that I look pretty stupid in so I am going to take a new picture for it. Overall what do you think of the site and what do you think I could add to make it better? SITE IS IN MY SIG Thanks! Kevin
The design and the layout is good but I do not like the black background in the header I think you should change it to a lighter color.
Here are my thoughts. Overall I like the site. I would definitely change the header graphic. Why not get someone on the forum to design a custom one for you? Also, go ahead and add a home page link. It looks a little silly having "Poker Marketing Star Home" display on your site. This could be done by either editing the template to add in a Home page link or by using a text widget. Hope that helps.
Thanks for your advice guys. Does anyone else think the black doesn't look good? Personally I thought it looked sharp but it is always hard to say.
Honestly, I don't mind the black header.. its the way its set up. I'm not sure exactly what it is thats bothering me but maybe its the one small image in the middle of the header..?
@Pat - Would moving a pic towards the left more help do you think? I am getting a pic made in the contest section now.
honestly if you look at most sites geared towards poker, in general they have bright, vibrant colors and more importantly some kind of poker graphic. You may want to consider throwing some bright colors in there and add a poker graphic or two. Use the pic you have now, just try to incorporate with some poker graphics. Right now when I look at your site I just don't get the poker vibe! If its poker related make it look poker related.
@tsquez - the site is more geared towards me and poker affiliates in general ... it is not geared towards players. With that said maybe I do need a poker image somewhere. @meetbro - thanks and the content will be coming!
Yeah good suggestion I will throw up a poker image or two .... do you guys have any suggestions of article tips to write for affiliates?
@Kind of the cash - What can I do to improve it? I know as of now there isn't a lot of value to visitors but I am in the middle of writing articles for affiliate tips.
its ok a bit dry overall. and i'm unclear as to why anyone would visit it - what is the content and niche exactly?
@ Siberia77 - The site is focused towards affiliates, and more specific poker affiliates. I will be writing articles on affiliate tips weekly. I will also be linking to it from my sites, which can help people get to know more about me. @ rknuppel - Thanks for the kind words!
