I personally feel that the website design and interface feels a bit wanting...
That's not very helpful. Can you explain why?
The only reason why the site is very plain is because I can't afford a few hundred bitcoin in hiring a website designer.
Sure, essentially, there is just too much space with "nothing" that seems like there should be something there. I know thats not specific either, but it's just something I notice,I can say a few things that bother me that I can point out.
- Submission is capitalized, so should "home".
- "Bitcoin Weekly" text seems off center
- I feel the advertisement box should extend to the ends of the box it is contained in, since that space is not really doing anything. However the box on the bottom for the license seems fine.
- Move the 'By: author" to after the article short description, it helps form a separation that makes reading though it easier to read. Another option is to give each box a slight shade or color, but thats not what your going for, and thats fine.
- I would like to see dates for each article, it's just something nice to have
- Since you have a div to contain your content, making that div's background or the body background slightly off-white would improve looks and give a place for the eyes to draw attention to more naturally.
Simple is great, but when you do simple, the little things matter more.
If you agree on those, most of them are a pretty basic fix. And I'll help do them for free if you let me, and give basic help for whatever. No strings attached, I like the warm fuzzy feeling, and it wouldn't take long.
I'm not a professional, I have taken a webdesign class and passed with an A. And I like programming. I have a few examples of what I have done, if you want to see them first.
Jamezmcclain@gmail.com if your interested. I can't help today, but probably sometime during this week.
