the "3d" logo you have has to go. the 3 slashes /// just look gay being belevel'd like that. the left menu with the subheadings, gray with the white text is bad. it's not very readable. not sure if i'm too hot on that font for "feature story" and "test drive" the "automotive bloggers" white font against the yellow is very bad, not readable at all. also not too sure if i like the whole "AUTOMOTIVE" top bar yellow ->black gradient. work on those few things and it'll be more solid. but even as is, it's a lot better than the current men.com. but as a few others mentioned, a new design might be better, lol. |

Bottom line is domain values have gone up. So the bottom line is exciting and that's what counts. Also, I don't run the site. I'm just one of the partners in it.

I was involved in the corporate end of Men for just the acquisition and the first year of the launch to get things up and going. After that we turned it over to a team to run everything. If the team fails, we'll get another team. That's how business works. Simple as that.

you obviously think that way because your site has the same kind of "simple and not so pretty" design... Design/Presentation IS an important aspect of sale...so is content...both are... same thing happens in mainstream, and even off the net!...Its kinda like an ad on TV where the company asked their president to do the commercial, VS. a company who hires an actor/proffessional and a marketting team to do the job.... you can spot the ones who get it done by their president...they always look cheap and the guy obviously cant speak on TV...and the result is...ugly...and wheter you like it or not, it will impact on sale, and on the trust people will put into your company....

Others have said it. I'll say it. Haters are everywhere. Fuck them and fuck their opinion if they offer no solid advice. 99% of people on this board would shit their pants to be able to work with "men.com". Only a select few opinions should be taken into account; whoever they are. My post and every other post in this thread should just be disregarded as nonsense.

When all is said and done men.com is a gay name that would be great for a gay dating portal and gay links to gay sites. Thats it forget about askmen.com you are not going to do that or maxim.com or anything else... go gay.com. That is free advice no charge and just like the last time I gave advice, fire every one and make a nice "GAY" ENTER button.

Your design is simple, and probably works well, but its not what I would consider a great design, sorry...
and again, with Wendys and etc...you are talking about companies that are ALREADY established...different...same thing than The Hun... We are talking about a NEW SITE who wants to set himself as THE portal for men...tottally different...but its been said already so I guess im just beating a dead horse... I only quoted you because you said in your posts that no one cared about a nice design except for designers...which is totally not true...

Lack of forethough and planning will just end up making it a failure. You were oh so very proud of 'your' purchase back when, but your execution is a joke. Spinning a new team every year just hows your inability to learn from your mistakes and hire a real time to begin with.

The site has a crap header and a bad choice of header colors. The rest of the site is a bit messy, but it isn't so bad, still easy to work with.
The design / colors of the site will effect how many people return and bookmark the site. Simple, clean, professional, looking layouts often relate to ease of use, safety, and a secure place to be online and shop at. For a product like men.com to be in black & blue, a nasty menu at the top, with a messy layout is a bad choice for marketing and building trust with your visitors. It?s not a porn site, it isn?t a bondage site, it?s not a personal home page. It should look professional, it doesn?t have to graphic heavy, it just shouldn?t look like the design cost them $10.

so I don't have to spend the rest of the day defending someone elses statement...LOL Let me clarify...that's not taking into account existing members, readers, bookmarkers etc. of the site. This is mainstream they are talking about..sites with a lot of reading...they were saying that people would take X amount of seconds to look at the site and what kept the around was DESIGN |

I'm guessing a decent amount of the type in trafic is from gay guys. Seriously how many straight men would ever type in men.com out of curiosity looking for a Maxim style site? I know I wouldn't. It's a gay domain.

The new design looks much better. The old design looked cheap, and made me want to move on to the next. It left me with the perception that any content on the site is just "filler" grade material. The current one had me pause and look around. It gave me a first impression that there's likely to be quality content.
" Internet users can give Web sites a thumbs up or thumbs down in less than the blink of an eye, according to a study by Canadian researchers. In just a brief one-twentieth of a second -- less than half the time it takes to blink -- people make aesthetic judgments that influence the rest of their experience with an Internet site.

The facts are that a great domain does not make a great site. The twelve year olds that do type ins are not buyers so you need to sell them right away with PPC or trade them for real surfers.
So what KRL is doing is building s ite form the ground up and I am sure that is hard without major cash in flows. |
