It's just online for 3 days and we are bringing content to it right now.

I am using chitika linx, adsense and widgetbucks.
Every little feedback is highly appreciated!

Logo definitely needs a rework and the colors are a bit drabby. . . I would liven up the colors, and get a more professional logo.

Hope the project goes well!

Hi Skinny,

thanks a lot for your feedback..
i will try to bring some more color to it

wanted to make sure that the adsense will blend perfectly into the layout.

Also make the background of the text lighter. The blue colored background behind the text makes it a bit harder to read because the contrast is poor.

I expected to see a green - green - green design to keep with your theme---the blue with the bright green kinda took the "fun" look out of your site...I can see that you wanted a fun look with the bright green-- the blue is just not fun....

The little ads popping up--- mouse over titanium popped up a titanium ring ad, which I had to close to go on....really distracted me from what you were featuring. It took me a while to find your categories--- they blend in too well...and it seems like there are LOTS of ads...
It is too hard to shop in the distracting environment.

thank you so much for the feedback you guys left.
I did a complete redesign

http://www.coolgreengadgets.com/

and yes, i am taking care of the categories asap

so what do you think of this new theme?

clink · 12-07-2007, 03:55 AM

I like it for the most part. It's bold and bright. However, I would reduce the contrast of the background to make it more one colour perhaps with subtle clouds, right now the contrast between the blue and white clouds is too distracting from the content. Apart from that the green colours are very appropriate. What draws your attention first is the top post title which is good, but the sidebar containing categories etc is a little busy and confusing. Also I would consider increasing the text size of your categories text.

Hope this helps

mpp,

I love the concept. In the coming years green will get bigger and bigger on the net.

I would clean up the sidebar. There is a ton of stuff jammed into the sidebar and it makes the site look messy.

Other than that keep it going.

mpp,

I love the pictures for each entry. They are big and very straight to the point. I'm not so sure about the banner. There's something weird about that lady bug...

I don't like all those ads. I think you should remove some from the right side. I know you are wanting to make money off your website but that just turns me away.

Cheers,

Jeff

The site has great content - interesting, with good layout. The blue sky/cloud background gives the site a cheap, unprofessional look. Find a better one!

The theme of the top banner (with the ladybug) does not convey the message of the site (green gadgets).

Such a great content - the site needs a professional design concept that fits with the content - maybe ask a graphical designer.

This is actually quite a good idea,not seen one of its kind before, obviously there will be loads around, but ive got quite interested in it make sure you update regulary

For whatever reason, the word "clipart" comes into my mind when I am looking at the header as well as the background. Try experimenting a little and see what comes out of it.

Best wishes,
