Please review my blog!

Hello John,

It seems like you do have nice content and a simple design. What I would personally recommend is the following:

1. You should use more pictures in your posts. At the moment it is only text, which make the posts less attractive.

2. I would also recommend that you change your template with something a little bit more colorful. At the moment there isn’t something catching the eye so to speak and most of the people would get bored if they simply read tons of text over the internet.

Hope that helps,

Kind regards

Oh thats great to know! I will 100% improve it now! Thanks for your kind suggestions!

Hello John,

I second Lagarder7’s advise on imagery. I would also:

1. only have a full post on the landing page, and then any post after that, should be an excerpt. Usually 4 excerpts works well. This way, a visitor can get a faster and broader view of the content available to read.

2. I don’t get an immediate idea of what you do or what you offer. This should be obvious first and foremost when someone lands on your page. A tagline, a menu item that says, “Services” or “Products” or something along these lines.

3. I’d also add a sidebar to your first page with quick links to services or whatever it is you’re selling.

4. Since you are selling a service it seems, I would also add a newsletter component so that you can capture email address over time. This sign up should also be very prominent the minute someone lands on your page.

Good luck!
Elena

You are most welcome. I see that you have now started to add the pictures to the post, however one more suggestion in regards to that – embed them in the text. Meaning don’t have test-picture-text-picture-test.

Meaning for the alignment of the pictures use “left” or “right” instead of “center” or “none”.

In terms of code this means the following:

<img class=”alignleft>

Hope that helps as well.

Thanks a lot Elena and Ladarder! I will do as directed and will post again once am done! Thanks for all your help guys! You are just awesome!
