Wepay-Youpost.com - Reviews Please

I'm a little confused about the title of the site here. Shouldn't it be "you pay, we post"??? I'm reading the intro here and it really doesn't make sense to aim the site at the people who are working for you. It has to be relevant to the clients - they are the most important visitors here.

The layout is okay. It's decent but not particularly exciting. The logo is good. That's something you can definitely build around. I don't especially like the colour scheme. The dark blue is fine but that bland beige-ish colour has got to go.

The main problem here is that the home page does nothing to get the user interested in this service. People don't want to have to read four paragraphs of text to find out what the site has to offer. Make some nice big bullet points that clearly state what this site is and what you have to offer clients. What is on the front page is really an "About us" statement.

On the packages page, everything is centered which is definitely not a good design technique. A table might work better here, allowing the user to compare packages. That would also enable you to get that paypal button out of the way so the user can focus on the content. Some more detailed information might be good here but I'm not sure what. Maybe even an intro paragraph about what they will get.

Underlining is a problem in a few places - on the front page there is a header that is underlined but is not a link. On the packages page there is a header that is not underlined but is a link. I didn't realize there was anything to click on there until I moused over and realized it was a link.

Ok thanks for the help. To be honest this site was a paid to post forum to begin with, before it changed to a forum posting service. As soon as I get my first sale the money will be used to get a new domain.

As for the packages page, being only a new web designer I am not sure how to get the best techniques from the layout, im using dreamweaver to design the site so any tutorial sites you have, please send them to me. I will sort out the underlining problem asap, didn't realise that it might stop the reader from viewing the currency link.

Thank-you for your review, I have taken all your comments on board and there will definately be some changes in the near future.

Yes, I agree. It looks like you started with a great header and then got a bit lazy. The design really is not that bad, but the content just is not being displayed in the best way. Minimize reading for your visitors, and if you want some great tips, browse around the web and maybe even check out (*shameless plug) my website, Graphic X, and read some of the articles for tips on how to make your website the best it can be. Good luck with your business.

i think, it will be nice if the color of the text on the main page is a bit more darker.
the site looks simple and nice.
logo is good but dont understand what those bubbles are.

Way too plain. Your website isn't attractive at all.
You need to reduce the amount of text that you display on the middle. It is way too long. Try to summarize it and add a link for read more...
Also, you need to use graphics and icons on the website.

Thanks for that adjroth, however im not entirely sure how to make a table like that. I am using dreamweaver, but too be honest I only know the basics at the very best.

the best thing for you to do is to read some tutorials on the basics. tables are really simple and shouldnt take more than a few minutes to learn if you can find a decent turotial.

if you look at the code for the table i made, you'll see that each row is separated with the tag and the columns are seperated with the tag. The first row contains the column headers, and the first column of each row contains your packages.

Notice that third and fifth set of columns contain bgcolor="#F3EDE8" within the tags. this could also be place within the tags to have the same effect, but remember any bgcolor within its columns will override the color of the row.

Its helpful to remember that data always goes into the columns(TD) of a table and never the rows(TR). Also, you must always end a row before you can start a new one.

I hope this helps.

for a second site i think your laughing. you obviously have quite a bit of skill!

crisp and clean layout and appearance. could use a touch more colour somewhere around the template, a bit more content and maybe some pictures/photos

well done my friend!

Good looking site!

It looks to much like those place holder sites that you get if you don't renew domain name.
And I hate that, nothing turns me off more from a website.
It makes it look fake, and even kind of scammish.

Has anyone here ever actually bought forum postings before out of curiosity?

I don't ever read testimonials buddy. IMO they cannot be trusted as you can't ever verify their source. I rely on user reviews of services who are in no way linked with them.

Ah Ok. No problem, would you like me to contact one of my previous clients to see whether they would be willing to talk to you about our service? They would be able show you their forum link, and links to our writers profiles and posts.

Thanks for your comments Wonka. I myself can see where it gives the link on the banner. Could other members please verify whether they can read the link on the banner please?

Hows this going? doing much business since I last looked?

I think the site looks fine I like the deep blue and beige and the logo
I think I understand what the deal is - webmasters pay you to make posts on a forum
I don't understand why probably because I didn’t read that far I guess its to fill out forums or some back link SEO thing.

I'm not keen on the concept it seems like trickery - false manufactured forum posts.

It’s a bit like me hireling you to send love letters to my girl friend, the letters may be better quality and more frequent but its fundamentally wrong – know what I mean?

Also expensive 5 posts for $4 is the introductory offer? Would you pay me $1 for this critique? Don’t answer that !!
