Blook Site - Please Review

[Osprey]

Hey Guys,

Thought i'd give the whole "Blook" thing a try and developed a site around it

I've only just finished it - http://www.personalblook.com - The site pretty much explains itself on the home/about pages.

I'd much appreciate any feedback on everything and anything really. The ads placement/colour scheme, the websites appearance, loading times etc.

First time I've done a site this large before really. If you'd like to test out the members side you can login with the demo details. Naturally if you want to sign up please do!

If you spot any errors please let me know. I am looking for link exchanges with related websites, please drop me a pm if interested.

Thanks,

Andy

I like it. Not too flashy yet visually appealing, simplicity works well on your site. Text is easy to read and a good choice of colours.

I agree, but because of the simplicity the AdSense block stands out. I´d remove the borders (make them white). Also I would add a slight touch to the main banner, something small. A highlight may already be too strong, at least alias the fonts used in it.

Thanks for the comments.

Nice suggestion regarding the adsense blocks sinfronteras. I'll see how they perform for a while as they are considering i only just added them but it's definately something to try for the future to compare the results.

The site looks good. But the logo looks amateurish.

 

[Osprey]

Thanks. Regarding the logo - I kept it simple mostly to fit with the appearence of the site. Personally i quite like it - any other oppinions on the logo? Perhaps i'll alter it to make it stand out more.

Although the design is simple and I like the design the color scheme is horrible. You are using a whole array of colors. Try to stick with 3 total colors in the design.

Thanks for the review Bryan.

Hmm, when i come to ajust the navigation bar to images rather than text links i'll take a look at the colour scheme also.

Could i get some additional feedback on this?

I guess it will need some thinking.

Wow, some nice looking site. Great job at the simplicity design yet visual cool. The content is free flowing and easily explains the purpose of site.

5 Thumbs Up bro.

I definitley like the simple look, and nice color scheme.

Thanks for the replys guys.

I've had a couple of people unsure about the colour scheme, considering generally it's been good feedback regarding that i think i'll leave it as it is for now and perhaps consider other changes later.

I was told elsewhere that the home page looked a little cluttered so i removed some of the content. I think though as it's fairly well laid out (Atleast feedback seems to agree with this) that it shouldn't be too much of a problem. I'll see how i can do promoting this beast

Thanks again guys,

Andy
