    Hello All!

    Finally I decided to post in the website review forum :D I'd like you to review my cooking and recipes site.

    I know most of you here are not interested in cooking at all :p but here goes..

    The cite is Cook-It-All.com

    I've made a few sub-domains.

    Recipes
    Online Shopping
    Articles
    Links

    The site is still under development and lots of content needs to be added.

    The recipes section

    I've added all the categories and sub-categories that I'd like to have in the recipes section. I've added flash videos in the recipes section to make it interesting.

    The online shopping section

    I completed the categories and sub categories here also, but products need to be added here.

    Articles section

    This section has health and cooking related articles. If you'd like to submit some articles, please send me a PM.

    Links section

    This is a new links directory that has categories for cooking and recipes only. If you'd like to exchange links, please do here.


    The site is getting around 20 unique visitors daily, directly from search engines, mostly from MSN.

    I'd like to know how I can improve the traffic and earnings from the site.

    Any other suggestions and comments are also welcome :)

    Thank you all for the appreciation. Is the navigation clean and easy to use?

    I've linked to the important sections in the top navigation and in the left navigation of the home page, and also a few links in the footer.

    When someone clicks on the main sections (like recipes / online shopping), the user is taken to the sub-domain for that section, and the left navigation is replaced by all the categories available in that section.

    Clicking on a category will take the user inside that category and the sub-categories will be displayed in the right column, and the chosen category becomes highlighted in the left nav.

    This makes it easy for the user to jump to any sub-category / category and section easily.

    colors are good, the ads merge in well with the content.

    Wow! Nice layout, absolutely no comments. The colors are tasteful without cooking. Good taste and cool colors! I wish all the best with your recipes site.:)

    nice work Rosie

    you have really got the best out of Mambo which often makes it difficult to get such a fine finished site.

    The only CMS I have seen with as good a design has been drupal, nice to see it was achieved with the Mambo backend

    excellent

    Not my type of web site ;) but after seeing it I will like to give my thoughts.

    The layout is cool, easy to navigate and simple to use. I like the colour scheme you are using. They loyout of your “Links” page is altogether different from the rest of the site. Not giving a good impressing, something that most of users will not like.

    The site loads quite fast on my connection as compare to many other sites. You must be feeding it well :D

    Over all, I will give you 9/10.

    Good Work. Keep it up.
