Hello Fellows! I finished this blog almost one week ago: http://jovenindependiente.com/blog/ It is in Spanish, But I'd appreciate your comments about design, layout, What could I improve to get better rankings, etc. Cheers! Chewie.
- You should get a professional logo for the header of the site. - The font in the body of the page is too large, you should make it smaller. - The text in the body of the page is too close to the images there should be a little bit of negative space between the images and the text.
Thanks for your opinion Guys! What do you mean by "professional theme"? and "professional logo"? I vote for minimalism in a very noisy world. That's why there is no Fancy Logo. Just the name in a very elegant font. Maybe I am not getting what you try to say. But I am very open to suggestions! All are welcome! I thought the letters were too small before. What is your screen resolution? And How Can I give more "air" to the sides of the pictures? I want to do that but I don't know how. Cheers! Chewie.
I dont think the layout is bad, its minimalistic like you say you wanted. I think you need to blend some better advertisements in there.
The layout is nice.....i thinkyou need a professional banner, add more contrast to background...use another colour scheme...
I'm just wondering, is it just in my monitor or does the navigation bar really supposed to be indented on the very left side while the search box is indented on the far right? If it is, I guess it might be better to put in the center below your header.
Looks go along way on the web, so it is important that your site is as pleasing to the eye as posible.
I like the layout & theme but the images in each entry are so very close to the text. a bigger margin would fix this. -m.
I don't know how to do this...I add the images with the "add media" button. How Can I change the margins?
A better theme would definitely help. I recommend going for some wordpress themes available online for free. Good luck!
Thanks for your comments guy! I really appreciate. Keep them coming please!! I just wonder,...Are many of you used to those Over-crowded, hyper-charged, extra-loaded blogs and when you see a very "clean" one you think is "too" simple?
mess around with these . . . and you will see a difference hopefully {mso-style-name:"Tabla normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";}
Thanks Locals!! I just noticed, in some versions of IE the Right Bar appears way down the posts. That is not supossed to be like that. That happens in your browser? The right side bar should appear right below the Search form.....I don't know why it is appearing too much below (right at the end of the page)...
Bryan,...I just noticed that!! In my monitor it appears O.k, But when I tried it on my laptop which screen resolution is wide screen, it appears as you say
Looks pretty good (but I don't speak spanish!). Maybe change the background color, add some small sombreros or something in it .
LOL! Sombreros? That's for Mexico! This blog is for Spain I still have problems with the margins (or padding?) of the images. I don't know how to separate them from the text. Any advice?
yup.. i agree with everyone else you need to get a professional header with it.. as for the layout.. i think it need to be 3 column .. why because i can see the ad potential in your website... just my 2 c
