I haved revamped a few pages of my news website. Naviinet News I have updated the homepage, shopping and sport pages. Please supply any feedback on the general design, site speed and any other aspects. Thanks
Bottom right hand corner, the "sport" block, it should be called "Sports" - the "s" is missing. The meta description does not seem to match your sites content. But my first impressions are that your site is about news, not home loans and lawyers. In the news blocks, one title is appearing 3 times. Sorry, but that does not look very professional. Not when the same title is taking 3 out of 5 slots in the block.
It would be nice if you headlines had a little excerpt of the content. The ads on the left sidebar are a little excessive. You should be using 300 x 250 ads there instead.
Site loaded very slowly for me. I don't mind the red. I assume "sport" is appropriate to Australia? In the US, it would be plural. Agree that the ad block on the left is more than a little overwhelming. Overall, nice job!
There is huge scope of improvement in look and feel of site...I think u shld pick 1 of the free templates available on net for news site...everything else comes later!
I have looked at various templates but some are limited in changes/adjustments you can make. Had a brief look at mambo/joomla but not sure whether to go down that path. I may upload some examples and get some feedback. Do you recommend any template sites or have any examples?
Yeah ... Red colour hurts eyes. I would choose something more neutral or lighter red (less intense). Also that bunch of banners on the left would make me close other site imediately.
Too much white space on larger monitors... the red color doesn't look that great, as the second post suggested.
Yeah I plan to remove the red header by the weekend. I have also re-arranged some of the banners on the left. Thanks for the feedback
Yes pure, thanks fygi. I am looking to increase news topics and expand articles. Also plan to inccorporate live sport score feeds. Thanks again
