Basic Review of Ludwig Walkenhorst

First Impressions:
Upon typing in the URL of your site and clicking enter I was promoted with a (It is nice to note very quickly promoted with) site with a big popup ad in the centre saying: Created In 000webhost.com. Given the professional TLD you have purchased it may strike a bit strange why popup hosting ads should appear for you as a guest; This said it is easily closed and doesn't seem to appear again. Taking a look at the main banner of the site, you can see the Germany National Flag set nicely as the background of the Sites Logo: This complimenting banner instantly informs guest which country's sport they are looking at. In addition to this, the text of the logo is very well complimenting through the use of styling shadows and also uses the same colour as the stripe it is placed on top of: Red. Taking a look around at the other pages of the site, I can again see a real level of effort and design work that you have undertaken to perfect each page. The central navigation bar presents you with all the relevant links to the various pages of your site and also features additional pages as a drop-down menu option on some pages also! I particularly liked this structuring, as it is easy to navigate and find exactly what you are looking for. Each page is organised in this effective manner too, with very nice HD images complimenting nice bodies of text and also on some pages, professional videos taken from online about that particular topic. The gallery is professionally made too, with varying shaped and dimension images staggering in a tile-like format. The only page which I found slightly disappointing was the Forum which showed a distinct lack of activity, members and low statistics in general. Having a look at the statistics I can see you only have 1 member and 18 posts and topics combined. This is not necessarily a bad thing as you are only a newly opened site with forum, however posting around the forums a little bit as the Admin, could defiantly improve the forum aspect of Ludwig. Overall, I really liked the site and informative content you have displayed, however the popup ads coupled with the lack of forum statistics, does show an area for improvement!

First Impressions Grade: Good



Thing you liked best about forum: The thing I really liked most about your site, was the theme and careful styling you have done to make the site look amazing! The choice of colours, HD images and text positioning really gives a good image to your guests, that the site has been carefully created and designed. To me, I absolutely loved your theme work!
Thing you liked least about forum: Given the effort and dedication that has gone into the site, it was a shame to see popup ads appearing on the site. With these removed, your site could compete with many others in the professional realm and would portray an even more positive image of the site to your guests.



Overall Mark:

Overall, I really liked the theme and styling of your site. It is obvious a lot of time and effort has been spent perfecting and designing the site in a methodical and appealing manner. Apart from the popup ads and a lack of activity and statistics on the forum page, your website is very nice! I wish you all the best of luck with Ludwig in the future 🙂
 
Thank you so much for the detailed feedback.

It is good when somebody else picks up on the positives that you spend a long time working on.

And even more interesting are the negatives. My web host shouldn't have been giving me pop-up ads. But as I run an ad-blocker by default, I wasn't even aware that they were doing so!

I am aware that the forum section needs (a lot) more work. That was the last thing to be bolted on to the end of the website. The target audience for the site is quite niche so I'm not sure if it even warrants one. But looking at the Google Analytics website numbers it might (hopefully) work if I add enough content to it.

Thank you again. I'll get to work on your suggestions!

No worries 😛

It's always nice to know (Especially when you spend so long, which I can tell) the things you've added to your site are nice for your guests. 🙂

I only know about the Ads as I didn't have an adblocker on for the purpose of the review and to support FP 😛
