Review my blog - new Flytonic theme

[eCasinos]

Hi all

Have updated one of my old blogs to the new Flytonic Casino Double Down theme, have done some modifications and want some feedback. Sorry its in Swedish but I think you get the picture

The site can be found at: hxxp://www.mobilspelare .com/

Hi,

Merry Christmas to you guys. WOW is the first thing I thought, when visited your updated website. Looks good to me, but I would play a bit more with Fonts, as it doesn't go well with the theme at the moment.

Black, red, white and grey - I would add some graphics to the sidebar. Also, I would add "click to action" button/banner at the end of each casino review: http://www.mobilspelare.com/review/casino-heroes/.

Hope that helps.

Add some text to the page, anywhere. All images and links.

I love the theme. The design, colors and images make it very attractive and professional. The only thing I would recommend as gaffg has mentioned is to add more text on the homepage. Search engines love content rich websites.

Looks cool. Agree with the comments above.
I would take off the top banner - with all the images it seems a bit too much for me.

Also recommend to use some caching plugin and serve scaled images.

Many thanks for all your feedback..

MrBinary, I don’t know if you know but the font I use aren’t the original one for the theme, and you spotted it right away
To be honest, the original one is good-looking but I think it’s hard to read, thats why I tried with another one, but I realise that I need to dive deeper in the font jungle.
By the way, click to action in the end is on its way, many thanks for reminding me.

As many of you mention, I’m missing text on the front page, thats true and I was a little bit surprised that the theme doesn’t support that.
I have requested that from Thomas at Flytonic already and he told me that it might happen sooner then later, ill keep my fingers crossed, I even reminded him today because of all your comments about it. I have a bunch of text from me previous theme that are just waiting to be added.

Have never used a caching plug before, any recommendations?

many thanks for your comments

And now I understand what you (MrBinary) mean with that the font doesn’t fit in to the theme, it didn’t. I’m working on Mac and just took a font that was similar to the original font from the theme but that wasn’t compatible to PC and it just took an ugly standard font. Really need to investigate in to that and find a 100% compatible Mac/PC font with that little extra as the original font had…

I use WP fastest cache or W3 Total cache

This will be important if you'd like to get traffic from search engines. Which is the best traffic by the way. If search engines can't "read" what your site is about, they won't put you on the results of a relevant search phrase. Furthermore, you want to direct your homepage visitors well informed to a casino site. If they are not well informed enough it won't convert good. At the moment your homepage visitors are not really informed when they go to a casino site of f.e. Vera&John (only bonus info). An important question for players: Is this casino trustworthy? Will it have the games I like? Can I deposit with my favorite payment method?

Yeah, I use Windows 8 and Google Chrome, and font looked very standard. Now it is much better!

First of all, many thanks for all comments and suggestions, thanks to that I reminded Flytonics last night about a content area on the front page. I took Thomas (Flytonic) less then 24 hours to fix that.. So no I have content underneath again. Just need to clean it up a little bit..
In short, you guys have pointed out a lot of useful stuff for me to work on over next couple of days, once again, many thanks.

I would look at the text you used for your menu as it looks wrong. Its always a good idea to make share buttons more prominent, maybe change the colours. Moving some text to the top of the screen may help, as always having advertising above the fold is not ideal, as casino sites you have to but try and disguise it more.

On saying all that it looks very good.

Not enought content and pages...

[FruityJelena]

I like the theme Top is pretty girly oriented, with images of girls playing in casino and with casinos with girly names featured
Looks nice..keep up the good work and add more content!

Do you have a list with all reviewed casinos? I personally hate when I can't check the whole list of casinos one affiliate is working with.

Hi,

I like the design of your website a lot, it's pretty modern and looks clear. However, you could work on the page load time as it's performance is far from perfect.

Best regards

I know this is a old thread but does anyone know if Flytonics has themes that work with PHP 8.0?

Be sure to read this thread from a few years ago.

I think the biggest concern was they made no attempt for transparency, until after the lack of transparency was called out and it left many feeling like they were only reacting after the fact.

Looking at their site it does not appear to have been updated much if all since 2020. Although the did change the date to 2023 on the casino affiliate programs page.

Neither the theme nor the plugin seems to be listed at wordpress any longer but wp has reduced a lot of that the past few years.

None of their documentation pages provided any information about minimum requirements or the fact if they supported new versions of wordpress or php.

You could just try the theme on a test site/server (even by ip if you had to) that used php 8 to see if there were issues. I would think if it was supported ok on php 7.4 there would likely not be a lot of issues, but I have no idea how long since their plugins were updated as I couldn't find a change history.

[universal4]

Just found this
https://www.gpwa.org/forum/wordpress...es-253986.html
This states they had some issues with the menu in wp 5.5 but see no mention where it was fixed.
Guessing it might have been but have not seen follow up on the case.

Rick we have PHP 7.4 on the server and the site using the theme has been fine since 2017 .My server admin brought this up to me just a couple days ago.He recommended another theme but I hate it as it has many blocks and heavy on images.
