Requesting site review for Royal Flush Domains

**LeatherLollipop** · 04-05-2004, 06:42 PM

Ok, be as brutal as you need to be. This is my first time building a site from scratch using Front Page. For this particular site I am a domain, etc reseller. Does this site look at all professional to you or does it look like a newbie amateur did it? Any suggestions will be appreciated. My domain is http://www.royalflushdomains.com

Also, about content, I have added some content pages and links pages, but this is a new site so am still in the process of adding more. I know to get listed in ODP, etc. they will list a reseller site, as long as you have some pages that are original, etc. How many pages do you recommend one must have for original content? What other categories would you recommend? Thanks for any help.

To me it looks kinda newbish one the home page. However, the other pages looked very professional.

1) The side buttons on the home page need to be consistant. Meaning leave them on all pages of the site or non at all .. remove them the other page with out it looked more professional.
2) Assumin you are leaving the side buttons on the home page .... blend the top banner witht he side links and optimize the page for all resolutions.
3) Add some kinda border around the edge for the larger resolutions to bring viewers eyes into the center.

That is about all that I see.

The main page is too boring, you need some images and perhaps a background color lighter then the grey you're using. I also don't like how I have to scroll to the right to read what's over there. Maybe try making it viewable in 800x600 without the horizontal scroll.

I dont like the menu. It should blend in a little more. Also add some livliness, it makes me fell depressed with all the black and blue.

Here is what I think...

The first thing I would do is to move your header up to the top left, and make your left column wider. That way you can fit your links in it and make it look good. I see the problem being on an 800x600 screen resolution your header will not fit without scrolling.

The next thing I would do is make all of your columns line up. The right column at the top your graphics are centered, but the rest of the column is left aligned. It makes everything look funny.

Try to find a different background color for your left column. The red on black does not work for me. It is difficult to read and hard on the eyes.

This line "Domain Registration for .com is ONLY $9.77 and lower!" should be completly revised. You want to say your lowest price, rather than a mid-range price and lower. I can get a domain name cheaper than that so why would I get it here? Put your lowest price forward.

The next thing I would change is the way you are organizing the information in the body of your site. You have a bunch of information with a bunch of links. Instead try making some kind of a graphical link or spice up the way you are presenting the information. I recommend looking at other sites like yours and see how they are doing it. Then try to make it similar while keeping your own feel to it.

That is all I see right off hand, good luck with this.

On my browser (firefox) with my resolution of 1280 by 1024 the side menu looks spaced incorrectly. There is a huge gap on mine. I'd lose the Red on black text as well and maybe put buttons or something? It just seems too long for too little options.

Home page looks lie a first-timers homepage, only because their is inconsistency.

Legend:
L = TOC
T = Banner
M = Main page

Right now, I'm seeing your setup look like this:

L TTTTT
L MMMM
L MMMM

Try changing it to this:

TTTTTTTT
L MMMMM
L MMMMM

where your banner area encompasses the whole top of the page -- might fix the 800x600 resolution problem.

Lose the black background with red letters in your TOC. Try using this scheme:
Text = #B30000 (bold)
Background = #E6E6E6 (a lighter gray) hard to see?

Rest of site pretty much rocks, especially the fast loading https: or secure stuff!
