Review us with your keen eyes =)

Hi fellow GPWA's-

I'd like you to have a look at the site https://gamblersarea.com. We have been working on it for almost a year now. Although there a still some hiccups in the navigation, we are finally making some progress. We are really proud of the blog but we have plans for stream betting and fresh free slots.

Hope to hear from you all soon!

Have to say that's an impressive use of design - a definite well done on standing out with something different from the run of the mill.

Have to scrape a bit to find 'fault'.....but trying to look at it from a user perspective maybe you could say the casinos/slots are a little overwhelming positioned as they are, maybe some extra distance between them might help.

And (on just one run on homepage) it got a 54/59 on pagespeed so (unless that was a flawed result) you will eventually (and maybe soon) have to do something about speed.

Congratulations to this stunning site!

The front-end, design, colors and layout, shapes, etc are first class. Also the code quality. For me, a little bit too many things are going on on the site, but it is perfect for today's younger generation, as they got used to navigating in this kind of environment. Also, my computer got a bit louder browsing the site, which means the site probably uses some higher amount of resources - however, my machine is not a gamer one, opposed to your possible target audience.

To build this many functions for the site must have been a serious back-end work, too. You have to work on backlinks, but probably you know that. First, I would disavow some of your links.

May I ask how big team worked on building this site and how many people can keep it running?

Congrats, site is awesome.

It is something that differs a lot from most of the sites :

- it is fast.

- has good layout and a lot fo content.

Keep up the good job.

Congrats! Excellent work and I really like the idea about the community thing.

Personally, my visit to your site would last not more than 5 seconds at max., and I would go back to Google to look for something serious. Simply, I would think this is some kind of a gaming site where 13 years old video gamers meet to discuss their experience of buying some game features/achievements/items etc.


But, I guess this is how many websites will look like in future. Wish you good luck!

Thank you very much for your feedback. Tbh I was quite nervous sharing this here as we really are taking a different approach than many affiliate sites in the niche.

I was curious about your comments regarding "casino/slots" having some extra distance between them. Do you mean in the menu or the actual body of the homepage? Is it too repetitive?

Regarding speed, this is very valuable info as we tested quite well on lighthouse and the internal dev team is very happy with the load speed. Perhaps with all the code they are running this is as good as it gets at this point.

Thanks for your detailed feedback. I will definitely pass this along to the dev team. Yes, it is not a one man operation, there is a revolvling team of developers working on this site along with a few others.

Regarding "keeping it running" there will be a shift once the site is fully operational from dev to community team. We have a factory style production approach and with the same devs we can work on multiple projects.

Indeed the target market is a bit on the younger side but we would really like to attract as wide a demographic as possible so perhaps we might launch a lite version for non-gamers in the future.

I was looking on desktop, just seemed like it would help having a little more spacing (see attached). But just tried on mobile....obviously different there because they're stacked rather than side by side...but then some look a little on the small side on mobile (well, on mine anyway).

Page speed...just ran the slots page and it returned 45 for mobile. Can't always trust it and you'd have to run a few more to confirm...but on the face of it it would seem that'll be worth trying to improve

[gamblersarea]

I see what you mean now. Yes, perhaps some kind of stylized divider would make it look less crowded.

I will send this report to the dev team while wearing a helmet! lol Very good point on mobile speed!

Well done UI/UX wise! Outstanding !

What's the CMS behind?

[gil.langelaan]

Hello!

I like the theme, design and content.

The thing you need to work with is the page speed.

Also I saw you have same SEO meta description tags everywhere. Fix this.

And add more extensive reviews at least to your top-5 brands.

[gamblersarea]

Thanks for the feedback!
The CMS is completely custom. I couldn't even begin to tell you the highs and lows of this very special CMS =)

You've got a nice looking site for sure, and the name of your site is pretty cool and stands out. I also like the variety of options and offers your site has, including a forum. I do see a minor problem though, and that is the 3 icons (the question mark, four squares and the 3 dots) you have on your homepage that are floating on the screen. I found them distracting and they obscure the text as I scroll down, reading what it says. There's no way of, for example, being able to click on them and making them temporarily disappear. You've done well though, and I'm sure you can still make more improvements.

Hey,

i like the website design pretty much. The homepage loading time on PC was fast, but there is one which is bothering me on the other pages and this as user will let me close it.

I think some of the pages are too slow and have too much information, which causes that problem.

For example: https://gamblersarea.com/reelnews

When I try to scroll down to see the news, the scrolling is not smooth. Maybe too much images (use lazy load for the images) or maybe the chat is making some problems.

On this page: https://gamblersarea.com/casinos there is no issue with the scroll down function.

Good luck!

Design is cool!

[shibo7]

It's a very stylish and cool site design. The only thing is that I found the page loading speed a little slow.
