My site Bako.com I redesigned the sign up to make it really easy and I feel like I am getting less sign ups now. I am trying to build a hyperlocal social network and it was doing pretty good with a 1000 visits a day but now it's only around 100, I don't know I guess my idea is what needs reviewing? I was creating a site where people can talk to people and post classifieds and blogs and events. Its all organized by cities. What do you guys think ?
You have 3 menus there that I find confusing: 1. Friends | News | Classified | Blog | Events 2. Menu | Sign In | Join Bako | Cities 3. Home | Online | News | Classifieds | Blog | Events | Forgot Password You need to reduce that to one menu with just a few options and then put the rest of it in the footer. For instance: Home | Log In / Sign Up | Post an Ad | Events | Contact Us That's it. The rest should be in the footer. Now your footer should be changed too. I am not sure having buttons in the footer is a good idea. Just make nice links to all other goodies on your site (Blog, Friends, News, etc.). You're a bit too heavy on the gray color. I'd make it no darker than #DDD
Thanks QwikAd! I am going to give all your ideas a try, and I think you're right I do have a bit of a mess with all my menus for people that visit the site, especially new people I am sure. ha ha I was checking out your site it's really nice and clean, I can tell you know what your talking about! Thanks
