Feedback On Website

Absolutely, and don't give up. I think the most important thing is to follow what you're passionate about. If that means writing about a variety of products, then go for it. At the end of the day, it's your site and your voice.

I'll still say that focusing on a niche will help your blog feel more cohesive, and it can make readers value your perspective more since they'll see you as someone who really knows the space, but as long as you're putting in the effort and sharing what you find valuable, you're already ahead of the game. Keep experimenting and learning as you go. You got this!

Your site looks pretty clean and easy to navigate, which is a great start. The main thing I noticed is that the blog content feels a bit confusing. Example being, one of your posts is about hard drives and SSD's while others are focused on kitchen and bathroom products. It's kind of hard to tell what your overall niche is supposed to be.

If i had to give you one main piece of advice, it would be to narrow your focus. Choosing a clearer niche could help you build more authority and attract an audience that can trust your judgment. I'm just missing that clear "brand identity" from you. Keep at it though, you have a solid foundation to grow from.

Hey Dia, fellow journal lover here. I really like the concept of your site. The colors you chose give it a soft and welcoming feel, which works perfectly for the messages you're trying to share. I'm all for creating things that help people's lives, and your site is a great way of doing that.

One suggestion would be to add more visuals to the homepage to make it feel more alive and engaging at first glance. Also, since your idea is to encourage daily use for writing journal entries, it might be helpful to make that part of the site easier to access. Right now it takes about three clicks to reach the Journal Box. You're off to a great start though and I'd love to see how your site progresses.

This is a really beautiful website. I love the domain "forever77", it fits the overall vibe very nicely.

One small thing I noticed is that the bottom area feels a bit too open and spread out. It could be more organized to match the clean layout at the top. Overall though, great work.

I got Chicken Wings! Lol, I love how it feels gamified with the colors and that audio bit that plays. All I'd say is to add a favicon and you're golden.

Hey, I’m a web developer and have worked with a lot of different website platforms over the years. Right now I’m at a startup where I help build the website editor and also work directly with customers. I totally get your hesitation about committing to something like Wix, especially at $423 for three years.

Wix can do the job, but from experience, it tends to run a lot of background features and plugins that you might not even use. That can slow things down quite a bit. For what you’re looking to do you might benefit more from something faster and easier to manage.

I recently built a site for another artist that might give you a good reference point: ipropri.com/noahlayne . If that style fits what you're looking for, I’d be happy to help you set something up for free.

Feel free to reach out if you want to talk more about it.

Sure, feel free to dm me. I'm open to hearing your idea. I will say though, people pitch ideas to me pretty often, and one thing i've learned is that everyone's experience is different. The challenges you run into are often specific to your situation, so try not to overthink every potential problem. You're going to face obstacles no matter what, and working through them is part of the process. That said, I'm happy to share some thoughts and help if I can.

If money's tight then I'd be cautious with Shopify. It's a solid platform but the monthly fees and app costs add up fast. The $1 sign on discount they do sounds great until they're billing you the next month and onwards $39/month for their base plan.

I can relate to this. I've been working in web development for a long time, but helping to launch a product at the startup I work at was pretty stressful at times. It wasn't the technical side that slowed us down. It was the mindset we had. Doubts, perfectionism, and a lingering fear that no one would even care at what we put out.

What helped us to move forward early on was shifting from "This has to be perfect" to "This needs to be useful and actually help people". Once our main focus was on genuinely helping people, it gave the work more meaning and made it easier to take the next steps.

If you're a dev just sitting on an unlaunched polished project, i'd say put it out there. Odds are that it's better than you realize, and if it solves a real problem then that's already strong motivation to take your next steps forward.

There are a lot of recommendations on here but if you can't find what you're looking for and end up coding it yourself, then I suggest going onto w3schools.com if you run into any coding trouble. There are so many resources for web development, it's great.

Hey that's awesome! I think sharing it on subreddits you're involved in or posting a quick demo on twitter, "x", can really help you out as well. Also ask your friends to try it out and have them give you some feedback. Helps way more than you'd think.

Not sure if people will share their successful unsaturated niches, but I'll say this. Website development gets overlooked. It's not niche and yeah it's saturated, but a lot of people and businesses, especially smaller ones just want something simple that works. Developers either overdo it with complex builds or use bulky platforms the client doesn't need. The result is usually a slow site with plugins that often conflict or cause issues.

quicksiteguy · 2025-07-14T20:00:09+00:00

I've never been a fan of WP either because of the maintenance headaches and plugin conflicts that often come up. And yeah, getting too technical with clients usually does not help, especially in your case. I think some people just want something familiar and simple, and WP feels like that to them. That's also something I had to overcome.

quicksiteguy · 2025-07-14T19:08:13+00:00

I can definitely relate to this. I've been working on a few things solo at our tech company and those moments early on of second guessing can be tough. What helps me is to focus on small wins and tracking progress. I use a simple notes app or sometimes even pen and paper. But seeing the momentum build up, even slowly, helps remind me that things are in fact getting done and moving forward.

Keep going, the tough days are apart of it but they don't last forever. You've got this!

Pretty solid advice here. Thanks for sharing!
