New Website: Comments Appreciated..

fjblog · 25-10-09, 11:36 AM

Hello again Exceem.
Im just after finishing redesigning my website. (changed the domain, content, graphics)
Looking at all of the other freebie websites they look fantastic and professional.
It could be just me, but i cant manage to get that 'professional website' look

Im pondering over the template, im thinking of getting a 3 column template but cant find any nice ones to download.
Maybe its just 'different' but i would love some other views on it.
I would be delighted with some feedback from ye, on what ye think and what i could do to improve. Would appreciate your personally ratings on the websites:
Design (0-10)
Content (0-10)
Navigation (0-10).

The site is : AppleiPhoneFree.com - Get an apple iPhone free! - 3 Simple Steps

--also i have a quick question, its bin atleast a week 1/2 since i made the website and google still havent indexed. Is there any way i could speed this up..?

Thanks in advance,
and
Thanks for your time..

Not got much time right now but from just skimming over your homepage there is alot of information. You might want to split it into two pages (i.e. a homepage then a 'how it works' page. Nice graphics and layout etc. though.

No not at all, I don't mind people using other sites as inspiration... you gotta get ideas from somewhere!

Btw if you wanna speed up the indexing add your site to loads of social sites like digg, stumbleupon, reddit. If you google something like 'list of web 2.0 sites' or list of 'list social sites' you will find loads. Possible to get indexed in a matter of hours if you do that!

Alternatively use Social bookmarking service. Fast tagging and posting to all major social websites - SocialMarker.com which helps you submit your site to all the social bookmarking sites (digg, furl, reddit etc.).
