Your site is loading pretty slow so my suggestion will be to install this 2 plugins:
- W3 Total Cache
- WP Smush.it

Both are plugins are for Wordpress because I saw that you're using it.

Another tip to speed up everything will be to use images at the same size that you want them displayed on your website.

Hi Stevedancer,

The site looks very nice and clean.

Pro's:
- You make clear what the site is about rightaway
- Nice lay out
- Navigation is easy
- I really like the logo

Con's:
- It is way to slow to load. This will put people off straightaway
- The about us page does not tell us anything about you or your team. What are your names? Why should we trust you? What are your strengths? The pictures seem to be taken straight from stockphoto. You can't all three be this good looking, surely? Why is there no extra info once you click the pics? This makes it look very fake.
- The Bet page could use some call to action, for instance "Bet Now!" in the menu would be a lot better.
- The books page seems a bit out of place, especially all the casino gambling books, as your site is about sports betting. On this page it says "Verwante Artikel" instead of "Related Items"
- You want people to sign up for your newsletter but i can't find where to sign up
- Make sure to check the language. There are some small spelling and grammar mistakes. For instance: you will receive a small selection off the best sport odds. Off should be of. There are a few more here and there.

Good luck!

Haha, the pictures are indeed stock photos (or at least one of them), but that comment gave me a good laugh. Why wolfie, can't you imagine a group of beautiful and handsome youngsters running a web site?

Thanks for the first feedback

I'll improve the loading speed and take care on this lovly pictures....but my picture looks also as it is from stock photos ))

Amazon store was only a "test" - removed. Newsletter form will be soon implemented.

Anything else?

Thanks in advance,

DancingSteve

Definitely like the general and feel of the site/pages (when they've loaded).

Quick notes:

Home page title reads ''Betting WinnerBetting Winner'' Could be improved and reads a little keyword spammy as it is. Similar on about us page. If you've used the same on other pages then suggest reconsider.

Page descriptions You can use roughly 25 words (that will show in search results). Think home page is well over that

[DancingSteve]

Ok, thanks - will also work on it .

Regarding the site loading: It looks like a hosting issue. The response time is quite bad compared with the loading.

[RacingJim]

Yep slow site loading will put a lot of people off. Invest in some decent hosting and also run your site through a page optimizer to see if any issues are raised.

[DancingSteve]

Will do so! The design and "content" so far ok ?

For marketing I tried now a few ways, but no one was really succesfull. Will focus on SEO now

Hi Steve,

The site looks good, but the first thing you should work on is the speed. It is very slow.

Good luck with it!

Hi first of all congratulation to your first page. the structure is good but you can defintely improve the layout. You could work on a better logo. The colors especially. Further you could put more structure in the text itself. I like the review pages of the bookmakers and the next on the homepage are also good. Try to use the same font on the page. I would also integrate a call to action in your news article. Text is perfect but give the visitor something to do something to click on.

Congrats on first page. Looks good in mobile. Couple of the clicks do not work though.

when I click on livescores I get nothing though. Is that a bug? Or just speed?

Your website loads very slow, that should be the first thing you should address. I think the logo should be a bit more compact and have the text more closer, the gap between the lines is too big. The paragraph text looks fine, but don't have it in bold.

The footer part of the site looks nice and neat, especially with the little calendar, recent topics etc; and the side bar on the left looks compact and tidy. I like the top sites section as well, that should improve your conversions.
