How does my site look? Please, some inputs!

[Sam]

Hi guys, I have been running my new site. It's a site where people can read topics related to some fields of skills, and can their skills too. The domain is Skillonpage.com - Acquiring Skills Made personal. How do you think about the domain and the slogan. Is it good? Please give rate to the slogan from the range of 1 - 10.

Please, webmasters here make some assessments related to the script, design, loading, and other aspects. I would like to know from you. Thank you in advance!

Looks very proffessional. But..
I don't like the logo at all.
The yellow doesn't fit with the orange and black, and I don't see it show up anywhere else in the website.
So if you aks me I'd say ditch the yellow and go with orange black only.

Maybe something like SkillONPage (maybe make the O a powerbutton)

Just my opinion, the rest of the website looks really good

First of all the site is using the sahifa theme which is good it has good options to monetize site and also it helps in quick SEO the design is really good.

The Logo However needs some color modification


Thanks

Hi Enrick, thank you for your helpful input. Yes, I'm considering to change the logo.

First of all the site is using the sahifa theme which is good it has good options to monetize site and also it helps in quick SEO the design is really good.

Thank you for the review. By the way, the name of my template is not Safira actually.

Hmmmm, yeah. I'm not a fan of the logo either, primarily the yellow text in "on" - very hard to read that.

Also, the slogan has a typo. "Acqiring" should be "Acquiring". Even if you fix that, I'm not sure what "Acquiring Skill Made Personal" even means

The design itself looks pretty good, in general.

I'd consider changing the background color on the left and right of the pages to something that fits the main content better.

On the about page, remove the bullet points that are left aligned on the page.

Change the "Share your skill" button at the top of the page open in the current window instead of a new window.

Your site looks good, but It is hard to read on on your logo, it should be a dark yellow.

All your articles are written by you?

What purposes have you build this site for?

 

[vishwa]

Your website looks good to me. You really have to work on your logo. I like your site content. But as I can see that you are covering multiple categories in your blog. It will be better if you work on a single niche which will help you get targeted audience and hence increase conversions. However you are able to manage multiple niche than it should be not a problem for you. Its just my thought I will give your slogan 5 out of 10.

I've changed my logo and slogan. Is it better now? Now, the slogan score should be more than 5 from you.

Yes, I agree with you. Thank you for your suggestions! I think I would change my logo and slogan. Any suggestion for a good slogan?

Thank you for your suggestion. Seems all said the same about the "on". Yes, recently all of the articles are written by me. On of the purposes is to encourage others to contribute to my site as authors, in which they will be benefited of a dofollow backlinks. If you are willing to share your skills, you can join my site

The site is aesthetically very pleasing, but I agree that the yellow is too bright.
Personally, I prefer designs that take the full width of the screen, I just don't like losing space on large screens.
But this is just my personal preference, and I think some boxed sites (as yours) can look very good, too.

 

[davebusiness86s]

Agree to those above. The logo should be redesigned, "ON" color doesn't look outstanding.
Aside of that, I think everything is great. Can I ask how many site you have created before this? The site looks amazing
You write all of the articles? I just read a few so no comment on your writing skill but writing all by yourself is respectful. Good luck with your site

Looks good. I see your using Wordpress and have minimized using plugins, which is great. Your website seems to load faster enough. SEO looks good too as I see you're using the Yoast SEO plugin, I always recommend using this. I see your page speed when I did a test is 3.22 secs, with is reasonably good considering a lot of other websites out there and for a Wordpress website. Also, another thing I noticed is that resources with a "?" in the URL are not cached by some proxy caching servers. Remove the query string and encode the parameters into the URL. For example:

https://i0.wp.com/skillonpage.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/career-in-finance.jpg?resize=303%2C178

Another thing I personal didn't like, the logo. To old school, meaning you should keep it flat and simple, straight to the point. Remove the slogan, it's not needed. The current slogan can hardly be read, and anyone with glasses would find it difficult to read it.

Other than that, the overall site I like. Great information and I think people should find it interesting.

I hope this has helped.

For sure, I've never thought about this issue before. It's an important thing that I need to take into account. Now I'm working on it. After finding out more about such string, now I know why I should remove such string from my site. But the problem is, I haven't found a plugin to remove certain strings on in my blog's code. Using a plugin to do so would be helpful instead of removing it manually. Because I have no idea how to remove it manually without changing my site's appearance.

 

[daniel27lt]

What you need to do is add the following code inside the PHP tags of your themes function.php file:

function _remove_script_version( $src ){
	$parts = explode( '?ver', $src );
        return $parts[0];
}
add_filter( 'script_loader_src', '_remove_script_version', 15, 1 );
add_filter( 'style_loader_src', '_remove_script_version', 15, 1 );

This should remove it straight away. Clear your browsers cache and check. Once you have done this check your CSS and JS files, and you should see no more query strings.

There is also a plugin, but it's always best to try not to use a plugin when possible. This is the one I recommend:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/remove-query-strings-from-static-resources/

Let me know here if it worked for you.

 

[Sam]

@daniel27lt Thank you, Daniel! I think there are a lot of things I got from your review. As you said, I need to change the small banner or the site name image of my site. Changing the design would be the second time before yoru recommendation. After reading all of my site's reviews here, I think our site's logo is a very vital thing that we need to consider.

 

[daniel27lt]

daniel27lt

I'm glad to of helped. Yes, the logo is a very vital thing for any business or websites. As humans, we tend to visualize things more, and having something that has caught your visitor's attention, will be even better than words (Sometimes).

 

[nishantoommen]

Hi, I agree with Daniel. Sam, you website seems good. It loads fast and looks good. I run your website in website grader, based on the analysis the website performance score is 87/100. You need to work on your page requests and found some problem with your headings.

 

[Sam]

Sam

Thank you for your help. Could you tell me what are the problems?

 

[Sam]

What you need to do is add the following code inside the PHP tags of your themes function.php file:

function _remove_script_version( $src ){
	$parts = explode( '?ver', $src );
        return $parts[0];
}
add_filter( 'script_loader_src', '_remove_script_version', 15, 1 );
add_filter( 'style_loader_src', '_remove_script_version', 15, 1 );

It seems the code doesn't work for my theme. But I've removed the string using a plugin. I don't know why the code above won't work. Thanks, by the way!

Maybe something like SkillONPage (maybe make the O a powerbutton)

I have changed the logo. But needs more improvement I think. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi there,

Overall the site looks clean and full of interesting content. Few minor things

- There has been a lot of talks about the logo and I totally agree, it looks really unprofessional.
- I would also remove the sidebar from the homepage - it takes a lot of space and there is not much information.
- Year in the footer says 2016.

Cheers.

Hey!

I've checked out your website and first of all, I have to say that you have really nice and quality content. It seems like you have a bit of everything and that's great. I like that it's pretty easy to find what specifically you're looking for.

The logo... I don't know how it was before but I don't really like it how it is. It looks weird, old and wooden? I suppose that's the effect used. Why aren't you just using the logo that I see you use on your social media profiles? The colorful one. I like that one way more.

Also at the bottom of the page, on the right side there's just ''Loading'' for me, so maybe some error in the code.

Otherwise great work.

Hello! Thank you, for your review. Yes, I agree with you with the old logo style. I once thought to change it, but still no time . Now, I think I am going to change it!

Also at the bottom of the page, on the right side there's just ''Loading'' for me, so maybe some error in the code.

Otherwise great work.

Seems working pretty well and fast on my browser. What browser did you use? Maybe you use an ad blocker on your browser. It's a space for ads.

Hi Sam!

Your website looks very professional and I like the colors used on the website. The logo is okay from my point of view and I also asked my partner sitting beside me and she said that the logo is okay. We are checking the contents and reading 6 Factors Why Your Email Marketing Strategy Is Not Effective. We love it! Just keep on doing what you're doing :icon_rock:

 

[robertmonte15]

professional looking. fonts and sectioning are good. the logo seems not to match the theme color though. replace the news letter subscription right below the social media links and before the email marketing ad so they it's easier for users to see it and interact with it.
