Name of Site/Business: Cricketainment.com

Site's Main Purpose: Information

Please Review the following:
Does the home page sufficiently convince people to go further into the site?

Does/can the site achieve its main purpose?

Navigation. Is it clear and easy to understand?

Appearance/Attractiveness

Typos and grammar

Images failing to load

Search engine marketing. Can the pages be reasonably well indexed by search engines?

Additional Comments/Notes
I have made an attempt to make a simple, clear and user-friendly cricket website showing scorecard, points table and quick news mainly on Indian Premier League (IPL T20 Cricket).

Target is to get user loyalty and returning traffic. Montizing the website and putting ads will be the last things only once i achive my objective.

The website will soon have more sections like Cricket Videos, Comments on general cricket topics posted by admin(no registration required*) and an easy flash cricket game.

Anyways i will get back to you guys for your further reviews once i launch phase 2 version.

For now I thank all the SEF user for reading my post and reviewing my website.

Please give me your honest opinions/comments of what you feel about the website, criticize if you find something wrong.

Thank you.

Great idea; but I suspect there are many sites doing the same thing; you need to be sure that yours is the best, and in some way unique.

It's a good start, and these are minor points, but every bit helps ...

1. Lose the black border - unless you intend to specialize in People Killed by Cricket Balls wink

2. Change the banner; it's bright and cheerful, but has no relevance to cricket; either abright montage of photos or an abstract picture ... maybe a batsman one end hitting a six, and bails flying off the other?

3. Make the banner clickable to domain.com

4. Make the 'home' link to domain.com (urgently)

5. you feature news (no links though?), and live cricket ... do you have the resources to keep that promise? Nothing kills a site quicker than failing to keep its promises.

6. Set up a 301 permanent redirect from cricketainment.com to www.cricketainment.com/

7. You've told us what the site will do, but the site does not pass that on to new arrivals. How about adding a slogan to your banner

"everything you need to know about Cricket in India, but were afraid to ask"

I'm sure you can do better (and briefer), but you get the point!

Good Luck!
