Good evening, still new here, would like some feedback on my site, I don’t post much due to CT problems, however I feel I’m missing something, please input thanks
I cant seem to hit your site
Nightwalker
Your site is a little heavy – every page takes a few good seconds for me to upload, so for the general User, it would be very slow.
I am also not a fan of the list of banners you have there – you might want to make it 1-2 stagnant banners, and increase the content around the page.
Thanks, Stephen
Maybe im missing it but I dont see any content other than banners.
There are a lot of banners. Seems like it is mostly banners. I would generate a bit more content for the users.
I like the concept. The graphics are awesome. The load time is horrendous (and I am on a high speed business connection – with only me as the traffic user)
Here is a breakdown of the load times per user (based on connection speed):
Download Times*
Connection Rate Download Time
14.4K 156.17 seconds
28.8K 78.18 seconds
33.6K 67.04 seconds
56K 40.31 seconds
ISDN 128K 12.48 seconds
T1 1.44Mbps 1.27 secondsThat is a little high. For example, to put it against my website (graphics still NOT optimized):
Connection Rate Download Time
14.4K 6.38 seconds
28.8K 3.19 seconds
33.6K 2.73 seconds
56K 1.64 seconds
ISDN 128K 0.50 seconds
T1 1.44Mbps 0.04 secondsStill – The biggest issue…. There is very little content. A user will see this as a banner farm. First thing I was curious about when I looked at the site: If you have to login to the site, will the content be the same? If there is content there, but the user has to login to see it… then I would give them a ‘taste’ of what there is on the site after logging in.
Meaning: Give them SOME content on the main page that makes them WANT to sign up.
Hope that helps!
Hi Nightwalker
I like you site where the visuals are concerned (some very nice features) but let me give you some constructive criticism if you don’t mind. I’ve been a web designer / developer for going on 6 years, and although i once thought Flash was the best thing ever, some time ago i realised that unless you’re doing advertising, or your own portfolio site or something like that, it is best avoided. Having your navigation in Flash is not SEO friendly.
I’d say increase the content of the page and give users the information they want without having to become a member…maybe I’m wrong but i personally don’t have the time to sign up everytime I’m looking for some info. The probability is that I’ll forget the username/password by the next visit and not bother…i’m just impatient.
There’s also a lot of banners, and I’m not sure that having them on a vertical scroll works. Maybe you could try to promote the casinos by using normal text.
Overall though I’d say you have the foundations for something which could potentially be very good if you focus on content.
Hope my comments help.
