horrible markup w/ unnecessary tables for layout on part of homepageThank you!
text too small – Recommended size?
banner overload – I’m going to delete some of them who aint working for me.
banners out of line – Now it’s only 1LiveCasino I think?
black text on dark red background hard to read – I will change that.
horrible markup w/ unnecessary tables for layout on part of homepage – Table frames is now gone.Anything else?

I found the red background a bit hard on the eyes, and the homepage could use more written content to balance out all the banners – maybe a larger intro section, and some news in addition to the reviews?
For the individual site reviews, I would beef-up those pages as well, with screenshots, bonus information in charts, banners along the sides of the pages, etc.
Lastly, I would add an “about us” page or something to offer more transparency and trust.It’s a great URL though and it’s off to a good start.
I think if you changed the red background to white it would make a huge difference. The banner adds would pop out a bit more.
Took way to long to load with all those banners.
Blue/Black text on red background is very hard to read.
Your right menu/column is out of place, it does not start until below your other two columns(you will need to fix your css, maybe just adjust the widths a little).The header seems ok, but below that the site just looks like a very narrow banner farm. Could do with separating all the banners and reviews to their own pages with more content on each. And making the front page content the same width as the header
The background color would be better darker if you use white text. Or alternatively go for dark text on a white background

Red background changed, it was a miss in css.
Ok, I’ll look into the individual review pages.

the color though, I’ll try different colors and see what looks best.

The right column works fine in Firefox but in IE it’s all wrong, I don’t know why yet.Thanks!

I’ll try to change the width a bit and maybe it looks better, as I mentioned to fabar I’m reconsidering the site color.
Thanks!Anyone else who can give me some ideas?
All ideas are more than welcome!/Hakan
Personally I think the site should be contained within the header width, having too many banners not only takes longer to load but is a big turn off to potential sign ups.
I would try to feature maybe 5 casinos and special offers and have the rest listed on a side naviagtion bar and make the content on the home page more about what the site is for.
It needs to be easy on the eye and flow nicely as it’s read with the aim of telling someone why they should sign up.
perhaps changing to simple free template may be a good idea something like this: http://www.gamblingtemplates.net/template72/
Good luck
Thanks GoodIdeasNoTime!
That is a nice template, I’ve never even thought about searching for templates :blush:
It demands a lot of work to re-design the whole site, but it may be worth it.
The more I look at my site I understand that it really needs to be simpler and
needs more content, not just banners like now.I’ll use tomorrow to completly change my site and let you all now when it’s done, so you can give me a second opinion.
Thanks a lot for giving me all the help!

Now I have changed quite a bit, take a look and let me know before i put it up for real.
It’s not completed but it’s not much that’s missing now.http://www.bonusstart.com/template72/

OK I joined this late so missed the original site I think but i will add my input if it helps.
It seems some tags have been chopped as I see “Review end starts after tr <-->” at the top and a couple of others throughout.
I would also offer up font size 11px as a nice neat readable size.
Padding should be considered int he main content section. The text seems to butt up to the navigation area (left) and the banner on the right.
Look to separate the individual casino reviews and as already mentioned offer a Read More and a Play Now link. With the Read More offering a more indepth review.
Nav links on the left should link to a review page or a landing page for each casino of some sort before firing off to the casino, my preference.
Casino Reviews made my retina burn. Blue text on red is a bad move. Plus once there the navigation goes so I cant choose another page other than the reviews.
The bottom needs some kind of footer to finish it off. Just neaten up the footer.
A nice template, I have seen it used already but if used right you will see a benefit from using it.
Hope it helps.

It helps a lot!
I’ve been using Firefox and did not control it in IE, my mistake.
I haven’t seen that miss “Review…” I’ll fix that.Ok, bigger font size coming up.
Will check padding.Will add “Read more” and “Play now”. “Play now” instead of “Visit…” ?
I think I’ll use a landing page on those side navigation links.I haven’t Changed the review pages yet, only index page.
All other pages will follow the color scheme soon.And the footer, again It did not look the same in FF as in IE. I’ll take care of that.
Thanks a lot for the input!
You guys are great!/Hakan
For now if I was in your position I wouldn’t mess with the template and use the header thats there as it does look much better and inline than the one you have used.
On the side navigation make the links for all the casinos/poker room you want to promote, maybe don’t go over the top! You home page should be information with only a few featured casinos that are not too “in your face”
links such as $500 Free as Cherry Red that when clicked gets you to the review page, the review page is where you sell the experience of playing at that particular casino and a call to action at the end of the review in text link form will do better than banners.
