Hi We run the site pets for fun since two years in sweden, finland, and since half a year in germany. English site is online but not promoted. The kids love it and we have more than 20k unique browsers per day ... however possible advertisers seem to care much more about actual "visual" content on the frontpage than actual traffic So basically does anyone have any "easy" quickfixes that we could put on the frontpage (splash is it?!?) ... needless to say we are coders not graphics people ... other input concerning the visual appearance is also very much appreciated. Cheers Mikael PS. We are also looking for dutch, french, and spanish people to run versions in their countries
I havn't really any ideas about quick fixes... The whole site could do with a slight makeover with some nice graphics. You said you're only coders so try hiring a freelance designer to help come up with a design you can code. I think that would attract more people.
This page could help some more ordered sections. Now it's a bit chaotic and messy. But maybe kids like that, I don't know.
The site isnt the best design I've seen.. I would try using some background colors because the white makes your site look bare.

But maybe kids like that, I don't know. - I think kids are a bit more forgiving yes, you are correct though now its a bit boxy ... don't really have any good ideas about how to make it non boxy but still separating the different fields. The site isnt the best design I've seen - really, I'm chocked rofl I would try using some background colors because the white makes your site look bare. - you mean replacing all the white ... hmm maybe ... any suggestions what colour? We have been thinking about getting maybe an asian guy doing some layout improvements for us, unf all these companies web pages look just as terrible as our own :/ plus it would have to be a long term assignment. Thanks for all the comments, keep em coming
