Site Review (Super Bowl Site)

[KevinMcC]

Dealer Dan that sounds like a good idea, not really sure where to go for custom wordpress mini sites.. any recommendations? Also I will make sure I throw a link to your NHL betting site from one of my hockey articles.

Well you could either:

- Find a free wordpress theme you like, or even a premium one, tweak it to what you want, then go with that.
- Do up a spec list of exactly what you want the layout to be, and post about it on here or other forums. For a nice basic template shouldn't be too much $$$. You can also talk to my in-house guy if you want, I don't have enough to keep him busy at the moment, names Frank, F@DealerDan.com.

And thanks - NHL site is actually one of my employees sites but he'll appreciate the link

Shit, quickly looked at the link you posted and thought it was to your NHL site. I'll link to your NFL one too.

Okay would LOVE some more feedback. Spent the time to switch it over to a new static template and got Eduardo (Eyenod) to make me a sick header.

Check it out and please critique it!

Also if anyone has any type of blog that would include a link to that site today or tomorrow that'd be awesome (send me a PM and I will hit you back with a link in one of my blog posts)

For those who didn't get to see it before here is a link to what it looked like on the default wordpress theme - http://www.betonsuperbowl.org/images/old.jpg

hahahhaaaaa ... its SICK how much small changes can improve a site :-D looks sooo much better now for sure.
I really like it.
Although you have pop up email, then maybe a signup form in the sidebar also!

I was kind of curious why everyone was saying it was the "basic Wordpress theme" when I clicked the link in the OP.

Looks better now, but I don't know about the personal prediction being in there.

People who disagree with your numbers will say "F this guy" and leave, etc.

Yeah you might loose a small percentage of visitor with the same mentality like jdwankchalk (-1%) but i thinks that the personal touch weights more, although i dont think its somethink that will make a huge difference.
You can do a split test! :-)

ohhh, but if you add a comment option, maybe you could get a dialog going with the visitors about the prediction and get them to share their predictions?


please note that a small bit of irony has been included in this post

Thanks for the input guys... Newjabber what do you mean by this "Although you have pop up email, then maybe a signup form in the sidebar also!" (Not sure if you made that comment before or after I added the sign up form in the sidebar)

[Newjabber]

i made that before you added it :-)

[KevinMcC]

OK Great... just got that done like Dealer Dan suggested as well

Still kind of messing around with it a bit.

Also about the comment thing, I remember JohnH posting something (on his blog I think) about a comment form for static sites. Will take a look into that, but when I had the site up on wordpress I was getting all spam comments.

What else would you do with the site?
