Thanks in advance!

I personally really reckon your design is a little confusing. It's hard to see a nice list of the latest tech news on the index and there seems to be so much going on on the index, looks a little cluttered considering the current web design trend is simplicity.

Thanks for the review Luke. We have removed the secondary sidebar for now. I guess this improves the user experience! 🙂

Okay, my second suggestion is don't charge people for reviews, especially $30 when you're quite small. Actually, just don't charge for reviews. It's not seen as very good, because it could influence you to give the product a higher mark.

I am sorry, but I don't think we can do that. I have tried free review service and to be frank its like everyone want their review.

For example I have got 9 review requests in the last 15 days. I don't think we will be able to write a review for all the review requests we get unless the review is very small and is of reduced quality. Anyway if we think the app is worthy enough, we will post the review for free.

Also considering the fact that writing a full flooded review takes up a lot of time and effort, I just can't think of doing it for free.

Wait what are you reviewing? :s I get sent tech products and it doesn't take to much time out of my day. It takes <2 days to write a 10,000 word review usually for me.

Applications, Services etc.

Ohh, I thought you meant places like Samsung and Apple would have to pay you!

The only negative I can think of is the site's speed. It's a little bit slow due to the numbers of images...

It's a comparison between TNC and GeeksHut.com. 🙂
