Ranoo.com (freelance site )

Ranoo,
May I ask what the purpose of your web site is? Call me old fashion but I kind of like a web site to explain what it's purpose is for being on the world wide web. Why should I spend my time here? How do I know I will find quality freelancers here? Or how do I know I will find quality jobs posted here? You need to draw me into the website much more.

Try a few different fonts on the top of your page to see if you can find something more readable, the outline font is hard for me to focus on. Three more words of suggestion: content, content, content.

Best of luck with you site.

Your design is pretty good. Very nice color scheme, but I noticed that on the front page the projects section doesn't fit, it is too wide.

Your logo is pretty good, but the text 'Connecting Webmasters with Freelancers is too pixely. It's very choppy looking on my end.

The navigation links could use some work. Try at least changing them on hover.

I had a hard time finding the FAQ. When I went to 'FAQ/Help', and then clicked on 'check the FAQ', I was taken back to the same page. Then I scrolled down and found a link to the real FAQ. That's a bit confusing...

I also noticed a disturbing statement on that page. It reads 'You can try the Ranoo forum too, but note that our staff will NOT respond to you on the forum, only other members.' So your staff doesn't actually help members out? That's something that will turn people away from joining your forums, most definitely.

Your page names are a bit odd. The main page is 'index.html', but then the others are 'index-2.html', and 'index-3.html', and so on. You should try naming your pages something that actually goes along with what the page is. Like for the AFFILIATES page, try naming it something like 'affiliates.html' instead. This will make it easier for people to come back to certain pages of your site.

Why doesn't your forum match your site? You really should try integrating your forum into your site design as it will make it more appealing and visitors will remember where they are at.

It's definitely a good start design-wise, but as far as navigating the site and the content, it definitely needs some work.

Well, you seem to be getting clients although the whole thing seems a little slap-dash. Where did those buttons come from for instance? They look very familiar and don't fit with the rest of the site.

Also, I'm not liking the content-rich vertical middle bulging out from the rest of the design.

It's great to tell us what your site does, but people visiting it need to know also. If we can't tell at first glance, neither can anyone visiting your site. You should add a small line of text that describes your business, keep it short and concise though, the last thing you want is to bore your visitors or appear to be spammy.

Are you actually targetting the right people? Is it really webmasters that'll be using your services or project managers, small businesses and other freelancers who have a big project on their hands?

Well, I'm not finding the design at all inspiring, and your competition must be fierce but you have customers, so who am I to argue?!

Good luck.

Thanks for your comments.

very very nice people here.

On your forum you have "Here you can find the best tutorials, and free resources for web designers and not only.", the last three words caught my eye "and not only". English not your first language?

The faq page (index-2) has
"Faq / Help:
If you have a question, check the FAQ "

Ummm I thought I was on the faq page, ok click the link (check the faq is linked), it brings me to same page. under the above is:
"You can try the Ranoo forum too, but note that our staff will NOT respond to you on the forum, only other members."
Although I understand it now, the first time I read it, the last part didn't make sense "only other members", think you should re word it to something like "... on the forum, other members may."

When you click on 'Certified Members' from the bottom links I expected to find a list of them, instead it's how to become one.

Looking at the layout I would of guessed it was made for IE but in IE 6 it has a slight horziontal scroll bar

i have changed to " Here you can find the best tutorials, and free resources for web designers. "

yes english is not my first language

i have deleted also the "only other members"

i will add also a list of certified webmasters and freelancers but right now i don;t have to much because the site is relatively new and i have to wait a little

thanks for helping me.

please tell me should i keep the google ads?

the overall design is nice although i think the outline on some of the headings could be less noticeable. try using different fonts. Other than that i love the design its very professional. hope it goes well

Yeah, the fonts are the main problems of the page. You need to have the navigation on the sidebar as well. It is an inconvience to have to keep going to the very top of the page to navigate the site. I would take a look at scriptlance.com or elance.com And remember, Good artists copy, great artists steal!

Thanks "pcmcia167" i will remember this

Nice use of colors but you should reconsider the middle portion i think it would also look great if it had white background. navigation was easy though. Moreover change the fonts in the graphic used at the top-left corner.

Please tell me if the google ads ar good or should i remove them.

thanks in advance

I would use Leaderboard (728 x 90) ad on the main page, and maybe Square (250 x 250) ad on either side of the header.

The domain name itself is good. The logo is good, but from the featured projects down looks like a disaster, The site doesn't seem to flow very well.

I agree with sothink, your page seems really really messed up. For example light blue is used in the middle section but is no where to be seen on the header section. Also there are major problems with stretching on my screen. I would consider using rollover on all your navigation elements in the header.

thanks for your time to look on my website.
as soon i will make some major changes. thanks

It is not bad looking but it appears so pale that I am a bit turned off by it. The Colors are so pale that nothing stand out.
Also since it is a website appealing to professionnals, you should have a more professionnal approach.
The project section is way larger than it should be (takes all the width of the page whereas the rest is 800 pixel wide)

I like the concept though and I feel it can have good success but I would suggest you let freelancers add their own book to your site. Right now it is too much like only announces.

It's a tad on the slow loading up side of things for me.

A nice, neat and generally well done design/site though my qualm comes in the form of your text, a little on the dull side perhaps.
