Site Review: www.toptenlisted.com

**jamestl2** · 06-09-2007, 06:44 PM

Well, I gave my site a complete makeover with a "wordpress-ified design" It is also easy to submit user-created top ten lists, register, etc.

So, if there are any problems or difficulties with the site, things I should add or change, or praise, I'd appreciate any feedback, comments, etc.

Site is in signature
Thanks

Hi,
Sure, its a nice clean site and what-not, but if you want a successful site, it must be unique. This site looks like every other old boring site with no content. I would definitely stay away from the most used wordpress template and either create one yourself or find a relatively unknown template.
Also, one long paragraph on your homepage is just like ... bad. I didnt even wanna read it because nothing drew me in and it looked long. Hope this helps!
Jason

I don't know what happened, for some reason it switched to the default theme, I previously had it set on a different one. It should be set now, hopefully it doesn't randomly switch back, it has done that in the past.

Also, I had a quick short paragraphs on my homepage, not just one long one.

It should be ready now.

Hi

It's a bit plain i think it needs to stand out a bit more. I like white and clean pages. You are on the right track but need more content. I thin as soon as you have more content you'll be right

**compjason** · 06-10-2007, 02:50 AM

Looks much better

Content is key baby!

**jamestl2** · 06-10-2007, 03:00 AM

Thanks for all the advice everyone, how much content do you think would be a good amount? (How many lists should I create?)

**arunkumar2006** · 06-10-2007, 08:56 AM

man you are going in right way it seems topics should be incresed

Nice site, great work

**Dediwebspace** · 06-10-2007, 01:12 PM

Nice site, Great work also. Clean and attractive design

**jamestl2** · 06-11-2007, 01:03 PM

Thanks for all the great advice everyone.

On another note however, it has been continuously been switching back to the default kubrick theme. When it does, just wait for me to reset it back to my custom theme. I have no idea why it is doing this though.

Very clever idea for a site. My suggestsion would be to add a forum. Top 10 lists can be great conversation starters and you could develop a free and endless source of top 10 lists generated by forum members.

Thanks, I had that sort of idea when I started the site.

I believe that I have cured this problem, so it should be safe to review now without it randomly switching back.

I've modified my design to give guests a more welcome and friendlish feel.

I also expanded my site by just creating forums.

If anyone has any suggestions or feedback, I'd appreciate it

I think the default font is a little too big. I hit decrease in Firefox browser and now it looks more professional.

**jamestl2** · 08-19-2007, 08:52 PM

Thanks for the feedback

Hopefully it looks a little better now.
