Welcome to the GPWA

I am sure a handful of folks will provide a review and make some suggestions in the coming days.

My initial thoughts on your site, it did seem a little slow making the initial connection or download on the home page, but speed seemed ok after the connection.

Personally, I think you have far too many brands in the top table for the home page, pushing the main content of the home page too far down.

Good luck with the site.

Welcome xabo to the awesome GPWA! It's very good to have another member with us.

You'll find a lot of sound advice and help here from many experienced and smart people like Rick (Universal4), Anthony (Affiliate Services), Maria (APCW/GPWA Program Manager), drifter8, Sherlock, ddm among others.

Now, regarding your site evaluation. It looks clean and well organized with a quick load up time. Your menu is pretty cool but the only thing I'm not a big fan of is your banners under the title "Latest Casino Added". They look a bit cramped and the first banner for "Olaspill" only shows 3 letters, while the rest are cut off.

Otherwise, you've done a nice and professional job. Well done and I wish you the very best of luck on this forum.

Welcome xabo at one of the best forums around for many years by far.

I will give you my 2 cent just now :

- site is amazing as per the domain.

- the thing I do not like is you are having in the header only one menu. If a customer is having too less time, he/ she might not scroll to the bottom of your page. On the menu header you should have many more menus, like 4,5 or more.

- recent posts in the bottom , should be in the header or in the side bar because as per me it looks pretty confusing and strange.

- in the beginning, try not to have too much brands. It is like someone is lost in the variety of brands, which you want to have in ordr to monetize something of your currently given and invested efforts.

- try to stick to 3-5 brands as a newbie in the industry. 30 brands seems far too much.

- either way - site loads fast for me and seems, that you want to develop it step by step.

Good job and keep on going. Some people just give up on a step before the great success!!!

Hey!
Seems good for start but you will need more content for sure.
I checked the site on mobile and on some review pages are overly saturated with casino logos if there is a boiler plate that duplicated a logo and has a botton. For example, check casinoheroes review, it has 4 logos before you can read the review itself.

[vitamediagroup]

Just a very quick thought: the order of the brands seem totally random, and without proper order in it. I think the user experience would be much better if the sorting was clearer?

Why are you using a quarter page logo?)))

[xabo]

thanks for the reviews so far! i did change the theme on the webpage now and trying to rebuild the webpage .. using the casinoace from pokathemes now..

im also thinking to cut the list of casinos on the frontpage to max 10, so the readers dont have to much to look after..

Your footer logo is way too large in Kb size.

So I've reduced it by about 75% for you. It was 38Kb, now 9.6Kb yet still maintains its original quality and transparency.


Just right click and save

Also... If you using an image, you use an image optimised for the size required.

EG - the above image is used as your logo BUT your using width and height (coding) to shrink the size. Don't do this. Use an image specific for the size you want. If your logo width requires 229px and your height requires 110px, then you make your image logo 229x110 in size.

I've seen people use a 3Meg image, and use width/height to shrink it down to logo size. Problem is, the image is still being downloaded at 3Meg every time it is used. Have 10, 20 images of 3Meg in size, and it's no wonder some sites take 50 sec to fully load.

P.S. If your site does not fully load in 3 sec or less, then your losing traffic.

AusseiDave,

Some good advice for people who are new in building websites, although I see he still didn't change the image you've made for his website. He probably didn't see the message. But you are completely right, some people just shrink the image, not knowing that the image is loading as before, hence the very slow page.

Your footer logo is way too large in Kb size.

I would have less brands on the top, or maybe I would have the brands on the side, giving the content more visibility. Also, I would make more content as that is what visitors like (my opinion).
Your reviews are a bit thin on content as well. One link for the review is leading to the casino site, not to the review.

I know it's a start, and all of these things can be and will be corrected, just saying my opinion.

All the best and good luck with your site!

I did update the logo now, thanks for helping. I`m trying to add more content aswell, but time has been short lately, so ill continue more soon

You seemed to have misunderstood what I meant. That's no problem.

I've reduced the dimension of your logo, to a size which is usable.

Just right click and save this image. Upload it again to your WP site, go through what ever process is needed to add new logo in your customization options. Then your set to go Image is approx 6.4Kb.



Above image will auto delete at imgBB in 2 weeks.

hey! done quite a few upgrades since last time.. and i would love another review

[gil.langelaan]

Hello!
Welcome to the forum!

To my mind you need to update a footer a bit to make it smaller and more user-friendly.
And one more SEO-remark.
I would recommend you to update the FAQs sections to add it properly.

Welcome to the GPWA!
Your website is not bad, as for today. You have nice domain name and you need to get the first results, as for me. After that, you will have budget to make a interesting website design and upgrade the content.

It's better to focus on result now.

Hello xabo welcome to GPWA, i think you need more footer for the detail and you need change font size the content because too big

Hello,

Seems like your homepage is not picking up SSL secured, make sure you fix that because it's very important for SEO and users.
