Hi NP's,

Wondered what your thoughts were of my website, currently under construction. I can take all sorts of criticism and would like your opinion on the visual aspect, the ease of use, and things I could add! I am going to be linking payment services very soon. My whole portfolio isnt up there yet, been building around 2 weeks now.

Cheers everyone.

Seems generic for me but its simple. Though the annoying loading of the ads is noticeable lol, this is a mobile device review only 😀

Your navbar font is way to small... You do not want Ads on your domain sales site, you're trying to sell your domain names. Adding ads to your websites makes you're business look very unprofessional. You definitly want an About us page for sure. And I would either make the front page image smaller or a button in the center that scrolls down.

Hey - just a few thoughts: you have 3 featured domains at the bottom of the first page with only the graphic image - no text underneath so its hard to tell what each domain name is - and what extension. I think your overall fonts as seen on a PC are too small. When you click on one of the front page domains VRPILOT - you go to the landing page, but then have to find the form link to go to yet another page to make an offer ... I think you would get better responses if each landing page had a contact form right there. Then on your overall domains list, when you click on a domain it takes you into the carousel which I find difficult to read and, again, tough to make an offer by clicking again to get to your form. The carousel provides an easy way to scroll through all of your domains, but tough when you just want to make an offer on one domain name.

Good luck with the page - its got a nice clean look and if each domain name forwards to each individual landing page you will definitely get traffic.

Thanks for all the feedback, some great points. I completely agree about the Ads (especially on the mobile site @webengine , I hadn't noticed before). I put them on there thinking they would be a nice clean footer or sidebar, but they're two annoying bright ads side by side! They're going :)

@Steven McEvoy I agree the front page is a generic wordpress theme and the image is annoyingly large, I like the image itself but I think I'll make it smaller with some text over it.

@Kpett thanks for your detailed feedback. I agree with everything you've pointed out, the carousel especially as it's something I've been trying to work around, it's driving me mad! At the moment all the domains on the main page are images in a gallery, so they open in the carousel view when clicked. I am trying to put them all in a table and make them links to their individual sales pages. Will definitely add a sidebar contact form to each page :)

Many thanks everyone, will update regularly! Sometimes it takes another set of eyes to pick up on things I have missed (y)

While being in general agreement with @Kpett, here are a few more brush-strokes to make the painting complete:

1. The number of featured domains simultaneously exhibited on the front page should stay at a current number of 3 domains, but the pool from which they are taken could be increased to at least 9, with logos showing either as an animated sidebar or as a sliding door activated by the user pressing the round small buttons to be located underneath the gallery of domain logos.

2. The ads, indeed, are a major distraction not only because they redirect a viewer's attention from the domains themselves (I spend more time trying to figure out the ads than I did on names), but their over-sized proportions overshadow visibility of the featured logos.

3. It might be advisable to inter-change positions of descriptive text shown in the middle portion of the page and a featured domains section. The main selling point of the site should be brought forward as its focal point, ie. domains. Right now, even though the information revealed by the text is very helpful - it informs a visitor about everything they need to know about purchasing domains even before they have a chance to see the product - familiarity with the site promoting domains should start with domains (including logos) as the site's main attraction and the first thing a visitor would see.

4. The logo text of one of the featured domains, VRPilot.co.uk show it to be a hyphenated domain, while in reality it's not. Make sure the logos are an exact match of the domains.

Good luck with it !

Thanks Namelancer,

That's really great feedback. I hadn't thought of featuring the domains more highly on the main page, I think I will integrate your comments with Stevens and do away with the huge picture on the front page and change it for a showcase of my domains as you have suggested.

Many thanks for pointing out the VRpilot logo, that had escaped my notice completely!

Much appreciated :) Hopefully should have some time to work on it tonight!

Needs a lot of work. Your main money earner are the sales. If domains for sale are listed at the bottom of the sale, it won't work for you. Try to get the domains / products in the first half of your website page.

If your generating revenue from the ads then I wouldn't completely remove them.
