  • Hello,

    I would like to ask you to review my site. What do i need to do to improve it..

    Thanks,

  • The one thing that catches me most is that there is no hover effect on the links, they feel a bit disconnected (best description I can give).

    the page width shifts when the vertical scrollbar appears, making the page jump a little. I've noticed a few people declaring 'overflow-y: scroll;' on the 'html' tag to always show a scrollbar to prevent the layout shift.

    On the whole it is a very lightweight style, and very quick to load - always a plus!

    oh and "Please wait for the upcomming premium templates" contains a spelling mistake :-)
  • +1 With everything clokey said. Plus I would think carefully about putting a date on those templates. Unless you plan to add templates on a regular basis putting a date on there may hurt you. Meaning, if you upload a template then wait 6 months to upload another one people will see right off the bat how frequent or infrequently you add new templates. Plus some people may think a template that's marked from a year ago may not be a good template due to its age...when in truth it's just fine. Just my opinion.
  • Thanks for your reviews i really appreciate it. I will be applying it on my site.

  • Personally I don't like underlines all that much for links. What you might think about is adding a background color on the hover and pad the edges slightly.
  • Hi Josh - Which link are you referring on the site? I didn't use underline on any of the links.

    Thanks for the comment..
  • For Home Page: I think you should consider increasing the vertical spaces in theme name and demo-download region. Again you may consider increasing the font size of the theme name and demo-download text by 2pixels. In About Dkn Templates region as well, I think line-height and font-size of text should be increased. You may also consider reducing the width of About Dkn Templates region to about 450pixels. If you do that I guess your current line-height and font-size will look better. Further, if you do it 450pixel, you'll get some empty space on the right side. There you can, may be, highlight some of your premium themes.
  • Thank you for that very informative comment "daredanger". I will be implementing in on dkntemplates now.

  • nice site....great look....but site speed is not good.
  • I haven't read the previous posts before mine, but you should definitely add depth to your website by adding gradients.
  • It looks a bit boring. Nothing catches your eye. Perhaps try a different colour scheme
  • I disagree with @michaeloneill. I think the color scheme is fine but the way it is displayed makes it look weird.
  • I think you need to sprinkle a little of the "green" colour on to your headings? I would of suggested on the second half of each title - but a couple of the titles are single words...

    The lower half of the site just needs 'something'.

    Oh and your footer describes a link to 'dknsolutions'? was that intentional?
