New Site Design (love your feeback) | Bloggers Lair | Yakezie Forums

Wow! It looks like you spent a ton of money on it. Very slick and professional. 

Yeah, the search box is missing, but I don't think anybody really use that. Do they? 

I really like how you guide people at different stages of life to each section of the site. 

Great job. 

Wow, way to make a first impression! I'll echo Joe, the quick and easy sections for guiding people to relevant content is awesome, and sure to get people digging into your archives of great articles. Also, I love how the signup sheet is not intrusive, but it seems to be everywhere you go. Kinda like a good friend patting you on the back saying "Hey man, I know you'd benefit from this, just give it a shot and let me know if it doesn't change your life."

I would say more important than the search bar is that you are guiding people where you want them to go. All your best stuff is only one or two clicks away. Search is a last resort for people, but if you show them exactly where they want to go, there's no need for it!

All that to say, well done, you've obviously put a lot of time and effort into this. My only question is; what is your goal with this site? Based on it's current state, it seems your goal is to get people money help quickly and easily through all stages of life, and to have them signup for your newsletter to stay up to date. Does that sound about right?

Looks really good Jeff. I love the colors and the layout. It may be my screen, but everything is appearing a bit large for me. Font is pretty big, headings, etc. I zoomed out on my Mac but that might be something you might want to look at. Otherwise its really professional.

Glad you were able to get this installed and working Jeff. Looks great.

Awesome man!  Sounds like mission accomplished then.  :) 

Looks really, really good. Well done and what is the name of the designer :)?

Nice job on this! You did a good job of incorporating a "funnel page" to get folks to subscribe to the list along with still having the blog content available. Nice!
