Hi yackojo,

Although it's a really informative website. But there is no interaction in it. The think on which you should focus first is template and the design of front page. Here is a sample website for you i just visited number of days before you can take help from it.

Hi Yackojo -

Congratulations on getting your site up. I think it's great that you have a site created around something that you have a passion for, and physical fitness never goes out of style.

Just a few random thoughts in no particular order:

The top link on the left menu (blog) isn't aligned correctly - at least in Safari and Firefox on a Mac.

I like the simplicity of the font - not trying too hard and straight-to-the-point. But it needs to be laid out in a more flowing way. I think that you could do a better job of creating a tighter, more flowing presentation of your text. Maybe re-think the idea of making certain words bold. I'm assuming that you're doing that for seo purposes? If so, it could probably be done in a more seamless and less intrusive way.

Also, there are a number of grammatical mistakes in the content that make it a little difficult to read and understand. For example:

"there are some Body Workout Tips,Techniques,Secrets! that need to be known; else you'll be working around endlessly without any achievement at all."

You don't need the "!" after Secrets, and "else you'll ... " doesn't really flow smoothly either.

There are a couple of other mistakes as well, but I'm sure that, if you either re-re-read it yourself or let someone else give it read-through, you'll uncover those.

Perhaps you have a friend who has a knack for writing who could give you some input on writing narrative. You could also check out Elance to find an editor who could help - for not a lot of money.

It would be a shame to have people not use the site because they get put off by the content.

There's no doubt that a website is a work in progress and getting the right copy is just one of the elements. Wishing you success!

jackojo,

The header image is pretty nice, but I'm just wondering where are your images? People that workout expect to see some images, some videos, maybe some audio. I would certainly work on that. Also I agree with Chris, that the layout needs some improvement.

You have a good topic so it should be easy for you to get readers. Best wishes.

thanks Ileane for your feedback. English is not my first language, not too bad hummm? lol
i know there is a lot to adjust, it's quite scary. i have another problem which is: i can't get to the tier 3 pages from tier 2. has anyone noticed that? if yes what should i do to correct this fault. when i click on a link for a tier 3 within the tier 2, it does work. it brinks me back to the homepage.
help,please. it's frustrating

thanks in advance for your help

You're welcome - happy to lend a hand. Obviously, these things take some time and can't be accomplished all at once. I'm sure your patience and attentiveness will be rewarded.

site is nice and clean, have you used a system to build this site, I have seen this type of sites in many different topics, overall site is good

yackojo · #13 (**permalink**) 11-06-2009, 03:34 PM

thanks designerpk for your comment. very overwelming and encouraging.
really appreciate. no i've only use sbi,thank God. didn't have to stress out with dreamweaver for my first site. have some knowledge on it though, but who wants to suffer, sbi is far too easy to use something else.
