Wikli.com beta - Please review!

fuser00 · 09-19-2007, 11:04 PM

Hi, im fuser from Wikli beta ( www.wikli.com ). This is a Wikipedia search engine. I heard many people complaining about Wikipedia's inner search mode. Some people said it only shows the title of the article and that is not user friendly so they preferred to put in Google " wikipedia xxxxx" instead of going into Wikipedia and search. Thats why i created Wikli. Its the easiest and most simple way to search through all of Wikipedia's content.

What do you think about the design, logo, functionality etc.. Would you use it when searching for something in Wikipedia?

All comments will be taken into consideration!

Thanks, fuser

Logo is good, could use a tag line though.
FavIcon?
Design; you can't get anymore simple than what you've built.
I'd suggest a few "action" items such as, what was the latest search and what results did it return.

Not a bad job in terms of simplicity. I'd say, take a look at www.ask.com, their new interface is hitting it straight on.

I strongly recommend adding a FavIcon, as this will increase the feel of your website.
Your design is very simple, but there is big white space between footer copyright and main content. I suggest narrowing the gap and using a more flashy footer.

Great work, regards!

Place your adsense code on the right side just like Google.

All the best!

I like the site, but there seems to be a big gap betweeen the left of the page and the content leading to some screen resolutions having to scroll

Cheers
