SITE REVIEW: Free software download and software reviews

Softmrm is a online store soft. I`m begginer in web designs and i hope you make any suggestions to make at this / any ideas to expand this.

Web site : http://www.softmrm.com

Please review it, and make any suggestions / critiques.

Thx in advance.
Best regards.

Hi,

First impression: Looks good. I like the fact you've used a favicon as well. I usually don't like the scrolling text, but here it seems to work well.

On further inspection I must say I do like the site. It seems easy to navigate and understand, is well set out, and is easy on the eye.

Maybe one way to improve is make the navigation along the top (the yellow buttons) be highlighted in some way when you rollover them. This is by no means mandatory, but you obviously want to know how to improve and that's just a small thing.

But, if you don't do anything that'll be fine. As I say - its a nice site, easy to understand etc.

Good job!

Oh...one thing - the logo could maybe be improved a bit. It fits in well with the site as it is, but maybe a few small changes, such as making the text a bit glossy, would improve it a little. Again, not a requirement but would add to the site.

Looking at it from my perspective (knowing little about web design) it looks nice, and is easy to use. No time wasted when looking.

You've made good use of apache's mod_rewrite feature, which will help your search engine ranking positions. Your site title is misleading. The site claims to have free downloads but I can only buy software, using your regnow affiliate link?

What exactly is the purpose of this site? It's just a directory of software, each with a 'buy now' link that has your regnow affiliate ID in it.

Thx thepurplecow for your oppinions. I'm glad you like my site and thx for
your suggestions. I will try to redesign my site..add other things..

moshdj2uk u say my title is misleading. No, is not, in future i will add free software
for download sorting by categories, but now i`m at beginning and i don`t have much
time to make all but in the future that will be present at my site. For moment i have trials software for download from reg at this link :

Thx all for your reviews and suggestions.
I`m still waiting any ideas to improve my site.

Thx in advance.

The text is acceptable, the layout is nice, but of course the advertisements stick out the most. I would use more 'web 2.0' imagery... e.g. mac crap, and perhaps curb down on the ads.

Thx for your sugestion, i will remember that.

I agree with the others, the logo looks a bit "dated."

Now i try to make a sitemap for my site...But i don't know verry well php to make this and i use a program who generate xml for google webmasters. But i don`t know if that is corect. If u can help me...That is an example for my xml : <url>
<loc>http://www.softmrm.com/</loc>
</url>

Is corect that to submit to google webmsters ?

And i make a site map for my site manualy and is at that address : http://www.softmrm.com/sitemap.html . Is useful that for spiders ?

Thx in advance.

I redesign my website http://www.softmrm.com and i would like to make a review to improve that. Thx and hope to help me to expand this.

Looks good, I like the contrasting colour scheme, I agree the logo is quite
'data". I personally feel the front page is a bit text heavy and lacks visuals, but the content seems great. The 3d effect you give at the top is nice, just keep adding content!

Thx Spanzer. Any ideas to improve this for me ?

Check your spelling on the pages, first one on the game page
" Clash - new breakout stile game " should be Style

And for things that are free just put "Play game" or "Launch" instead of "Buy Now"

look nice, but you should redesign your logo and there is a small bug in ie6,

thanks,

Cindy
