Review The Sports Geek Re-Design Please

[KevinMcC]

Hey guys.. I got a redesign done on my main Sports Betting portal and was looking for a review.

Although if it has to do with the template I probably won't be able to change it on this site, it will still help with future planning for other sites.

What do you like? What don't you like? What would you change? etc.

Love to hear critique and ideas from people.

Thanks guys,
Kevin

Oh PS - if you have an affiliate blog or any blog I would be interested to pay for you to write a review of the site with a link back to my site. PM me if you have any interest.

It looks great, but the green email submit button i dont like.

[KevinMcC]

The idea of that was to draw visitors eyes over there to help sign ups for the form. Do you think it's too bright? Does the white not look good on the green? Or what exactly were ya thinking?

Thanks Jan

I like it, I wouldn't change anything. Maybe split test the green button with red. Since red matches the site.

I think the site is cool, the logo and image are awesome. Also though agree with the guys I would make the submit button red. Why dont you have the blog as the homepage? That's what I have as it is always changing and would give you a better chance of getting players to bet on the events rather than have to go look for the tips have them right there the sec you hit the site. Looks cool though and its good to see stuff like it can be done with wordpress.

Thanks for the comments Pokerworx... that reminded me I forgot to mention I am looking to get something going on the homepage that will show a short "snippet" of the posts on the blog on my static homepage.

Just need to figure that out, but it is definitely a must for this type of site.

I really like the design! I think you are on your way to a big authority site!

It looks awesome Kevin, very well done. It looks nice and conversion centric as well. Find a great way to incorporate your new posts on the front of your blog in a compelling way (like you are looking) and I think you've got an excellent site on your hands.

Seriously well done.

Orange button with white letters.

I would use "Signup" instead of submit.

It doesn't need to look bulky but the orange would look nice with the red. a red button would blend to much and green well I think green and red looks to xmasy

I agree with what has been said above about the green button. I would make the button the same color as the arrow above.

Also, I would add something "sports" like to the logo. Maybe a basketball, mitt, hockey stick....just something that says this is a sports site. A guy in a chair w/money can be anyone.

Overall, it's a great looking site.
