Birthday.co.uk - Review please....

[paullas]

Hi guys.

Not sure if this is the right please so please admin accept my apologoies and move/delete if not appropriate.

Well ive spent many weeks developing Birthday.co.uk now and it is 95%finished. I have added a complete gift section, business directory and ecard section now, and have other items coming over the week.

Birthday.co.uk : - eCards, Gifts and more......

If anyone would like to do a review on it comments / site suggestions welcome.

I am also interested in doing a text link exchange if anyone is interested but only to suitable sites ( Birthday.co.uk is a google PR4 ). Please get in touch if interested.

thanks

Hi laskos,

First impression is that it is a very nice looking site - especially the home page. The other pages let it down a bit as the html layout is not consistent (eg the font changes from arial to times, and the side nav is a bit flakey)
I also found some of the different sections a bit confusing, such as the directory.

Overall it is a nice looking design, and I'm sure once you iron out some of the design glitches you'll be flying. Also once you start getting user feedback and looking at the additonal services you can add, you'll also tighten up on the content of the site, as it seems a bit unfocused at the moment.

It is a bit quiet in these lower forums (we really should have a site feedback thread), but I've seen posters ask for feedback in the affiliate lounge which is the busiest forum.

Best of luck with the new site.

how about a different colour on hover for links?

You gotta consider new users who may not be sure if they are actualy on the the link they want to be on or not.

just a suggestion but its nice non the less

I'd take off the service stats untill you get decent numbers.

At the moment it says 29 cards sent and people may get the idea its small-time.

Wait untill there's an impressive number to show.

Otherwise the site looks great.

Nice clean layout, content needs to be worked on, Upcoming events shows July 4th Independance day which implies stale data, also further down you have a sentence saying "Member can send an email to their friends or family asking them to enter their birth of date." which is not quite "proper" english.

Definately would drop the stats until resonable numbers are achieved.

Regards,
Renners.
