Announceabirthday.com Redesign

Hey All,

After reading about all your comments last time i took it and did something about it . I have now made it look entirely different well at least some of it but i'm still working on it and im going to constantly making improvements to it. I have now made it so you make an ccount for $5 a year and you add your birthday to the database, once this is done you can use all the other extras that come with using my site - daily horoscopes, online games, contests, freebies, downlaods and much more...

Plus you get to send an unlimited amount of ecards to your friends and family. I have finely tuned it so that admin-backend is working excellent and it gets your site on immediatley. The site is updated on a daily basis and all times are to GMT. I will be adding content daily and i will be adding ecards on a constant basis.

Thanks for your time,
Hope you come and check out my redesign of www.announceabirthday.com

Site review

Hi. First of all, the template's banner looks better. The white background needs to be coloured. The navigation buttons look good. You might want to border your content and your navigation buttons. Second, the sign-up system and content is good and well-based.

Good luck with your site!

Overall Rating: 7,5/10

Regards.

The Bad

• Your favicon doesn't match your site - A lot of the time a site will want a favicon to represent their sites logo or colors. In this case it is a nice favicon, but it doesn't have any relevance to your site.
• Too white - Your site is way too white. I would recommend getting a customized layout from someone on NamePros.
• New logo - I would also recommend getting a logo designed for your site to match a new layout.

The Good

• Fast load - Your site loads very fast and this is definately good. Especially since you are loading ecards.
• Great idea - Your idea is really good. Once this develops I am sure it will take off.

Detailed Analysis

I know this is one of your first projects, and you've got a good start going with this concept. However, when I loaded the page, I was expecting a bit more colour and "happy factor" but didn't see it. That should be your first concern > the layout and appearance. You should firstly get a new banner with a range of colours that are bright and easy to look at. Your current banner is too bright in colour and not too plain.

Next, you need a proper template and again, with colour. I'm sure many people have said that about your website, so I will comment no more on that. Your text on the main page is big and easy to read, but there are no images! Look at other sites that are similar to yours and see what they offer. Maybe an image of your toolbar as well.

$5.00? What exactly am I paying for? That was one of the first things I read when I came on your website. As a visitor, it seemed that all you cared about was making money - you should possibly add something that gives you a sneak-peak of what I am getting for $5.

Birthdays should be times when people celebrate - you should offer some free e-cards and the alike for your visitors. With your Login pop-up, try and incorporate it into a form and place it on your site. In your footer, there is no need for "All Times are GMT + 0." You might want to make the footer fonts smaller and align it to the right.

If I was you, I would add another page with previews of what your e-cards are, what the daily horoscopes are and what I can download. At the moment, all I see is text. You should write a detailed offer of what visitors will be getting for their $5.00. Is it a weekly e-mail? A daily one? Will I be actually be mailed cards? Your Demo page was good, but again, lacks the images. I think all the content on that page should be on the main one, as that is the most important.

Get the good template rolling, the flashy banner and the detailed content going and you'll find your money soon. Good luck.

Review by Anthony Lieu. Your site was accessed on a ADSL T1 connection, on Mozilla Firefox with a screen resolution of 1280x1024. Thank you for allowing me to review your website design - I hope it was useful.
