Hi guys,

I'll be very grateful if you take some time to review my webmaster site spotbank.com and post your suggestions. I'm going to optimize it and to remove all affiliate links these days.

I'm also looking for fellow webmaster (web developer) for this site. I would like to focus on marketing issues so if you want to work with me contact me at [email protected]

thank you
D.

A few brief thoughts: font too small, lack of definition between page elements (use contrast techniques to bring some elements forward and push others back), lack of focus on page header (shaped more like an ad than a page header), nice light look and feel overall.

I agree with Megan here that the header looks lost on the page and appears to be a banner ad rather than the sites branding/logo. To me the site lacks a design as it's just columns of text and I just look at the page and think what am I supposed to read/look at first and where do I go from here!

Addition - pop-ups on exit are VERY annoying!

"font too small" - i disagree, i know you and all the other mods are pioneers of the size 12+ font size or whatever but still some sizes suit the 10px size and this one does.

I agree on the fact that there's no design element here, columns of text does confuse the visitor. Light backgrounds in the columns to differentiate between them is advised here.

The first thought that came to my head when I saw your site was:

"Where do I start!"

That's about it, I did'nt know where to start to review anymore of it, hehe.

brutal honesty, i hate sites that are "cluttered"

1 i have no attention span
2 im usually doing other things than just enjoying the wonder of the internet
3 i can goto an enzo ferrari site and ogle pictures of that 660 hp beauty vs stay at your confusing site

lots of people are like me. id make it less congested. too many links at once. -Josh

I agree with the above it is a little cluttered but to be fair on your part, u have a lot of content that needs displaying. Top header is too small. Page is coded well no problems there. Needs something in the bottom right. Hate too much pointless space
