Review : plugmode.com

I need as many reviews as possible here: http://www.plugmode.com
I think the concept behind it is good, the layout simple and intuitive.
Please tell me what you think of it and help me improve it!
You can submit your own website if you like.

Thank you!

Simple yes, intuitive noooo.
Where is the design? I mean, what on earth are we supposed to review?
And to me, it looks like you have ads for a banner...poor design tbh.

I wanted to keep things as simple as possible.
You are supposed to review all aspects of the website, not just the design.
I want to make this project work, that's why I'm asking for real advice! So please help.

Ok. finally I managed to redesign the website. You should have something to look at now

Some thoughts anyone?

What can I do to improve the website and make things clearer?

What you have to do is link to plugmode.com and submit your website information to us using the form below. What happens is that when you link to this website it's pagerank will increase and other people coming from your website will also submit their websites to us. They are called your referrals and you are their referrer. When plugmode.com reaches PageRank 6 the top referrer gets this domain for free! It's as simple as that!

give me one reason why I should want it.

By the time the domain has a pr of 6 it will have lots of backlinks and lots of traffic...
Wouldn't you want that kind of a domain?

webia · 03-19-2007, 10:29 AM

NO. I wouldn`t like a domain with a name I cannot use. What services can I sell on a domain called plug mode ?

It is a waste of time.

! st.soso ! · 03-19-2007, 10:38 AM

You can put the domain to good use if you really want to...
Even if not, does it hurt to get more traffic to your website?

Back to reviewing the site, guys. If you wish to propose a link exchange, make another thread in the appropriate forum.

! st.soso ! · 03-19-2007, 10:58 AM

So, is the design good enough? If not what can I do to improve?
And for the content... How can improve that?
Give me some advice please.

Not bad. I like the orange, but the light orange background looks a little pink on my monitor. Might want to check that. I like the blue links as contrast.

The grey edges look a little silly. You could use the more standard faded-look technique, or something else... I don't know, I'm not a fan of how it is currently.

I urge you to actually make a graphic version of your header logo - what you have now just doesn't stand up to the rest of the page.

Last thing - I suggest you make the margin of the orange box match the margins of the paragraph. It'd be nice to see a nice clean line on in the content margins. Also you may want to increase the margins in the right column.

Good luck.

Thank you for the advice. Now that's what I call a critical eye

I corrected the margin of the form. As for the grey edges.. i personally like them...

chicgeek · 03-19-2007, 11:45 AM

Yep, all of the above are just suggestions and personal opinion. I find it easier to constructively criticize good sites like yours - it's easier to decide on more focused criticism on certain details. Other sites are along the lines of "I don't know where to start".

Simple and easy for eyes. Nicely done
