New Website - What do yall think
« on: August 22, 2009, 03:37:02 AM »
Ok..  So I have created Letters To Prison.com (http://www.letterstoprison.com).  The competition is WriteAPrisoner . com

What do you think of the layout?  I'm still working on the SEO.  Google isn't even listing via the keywords yet.  Only thing it lists is the url address via search.

Thanks,

Michael

Alright here goes.

When I try to go back to the homepage of this site I always receive the splash page with the age warning. Perhaps you could place a cookie that remembers if a user has already visited the website. That way you don't have to see the splash page every time you try to access the website's homepage.

The  navigation looks odd for me, try the website in Firefox and you'll see that the last navigation item "contact us" is written over 2 lines.

I think the Letters to prison logo does not stand out enough from the rest of the page. Maybe you should make this larger. This might be just me but I think cutting off the ".com" and placing it on a new line looks a bit ugly.

The contrast between text and the background isn't big enough try to make all the text of your website as readable as possible.

I changed the logo.  Not the best, but bigger.

It feels like there are three separate sites instead of one. I don't like how they are not uniform in their design.

Thanks..  Working on a re-design.  Hopefully I can also increase my google ranking too.  Right now it is at 0.
