Change design to make more $

[Montecarlo]

I have been doing this for 2 years now, and i can tell you that it works..

Lets start.. You got a website selling some stuff, lets say ( templates or designs ) You have like 1000 visitors or so a day, and make a sale 2-5 times a day.

Now try and change your design or layout with a new one, no one els have ever seen. If you get more money a day now then hold on to the new design. If not then change it back after a few days.

2 months later, you try and change it one more time, and you do this every. 2-4 months.. ( i did )

Like i said 2 years have now gone and i am making 5x more then last year.

ps.. this is not only that i change the theme, but some other small stuff to that i cant say here But the main thing is the design. So think about it.. Got a question then please post..

Are you still getting the same amount of visitors every time you change designs? Is there any other variables changing like advertisment?

[Montecarlo]

Yes i still get the same amount of visitors, also right now i am getting a few more members a day then i did with my old design, and with the same links on other sites.

Dont ever make a site to dark, i tryed it for a month and went down in new members a day. So now i am back to a new, but light - blue - black design.

Sounds like a good marketing ploy! Is there any colors that you noticed get more visitors/members than others?

[Montecarlo]

yea, you dont want to use to light colors, to hard for the eyes in the long term, also not to dark colors.. I use a mix of light and dark and its going really good.

Also now that you got a forum here, try and get a template that no one els has, that will always help.

dark background colours for a website is a big no no, sometime i see links that interest me but when i visit the website and the background is black i just turn right back.
black background a big no no

That is very interesting. I've also done what callis has done.

I wonder if there are specific colors that males prefer (on websites) vs females.

About this forum, I plan on getting one made soon. I'm think I will be going for a white background and a colorful foreground.

Well I don't sell anything on my site, and right now I have no way of tracking visitors, so I don't plan on changing anything, especially because layout changes are usually expensive if you can't do them yourself.

[Montecarlo]

Its hard to say what males prefer, or anyother. What you can think of are what users you like to have,, like what age group,, you always need to have a template, theme, skin or whatever you use for the gategory your site works in.

WebMaster Forums Color: Bule - Light Green ( i will say as it is a place where you come to get information and help.. Design needs to be light for the eyes to look at for a longer time. ) You can also add some dark places ( but you need know what you are doing then )

ps. This is only my option..

You can increase revenue on any site dramatically by making the site more accessible. I try to use CSS, as well as carefully thinking about the scripts I have used to ensure my site will be usable by as many people as possible.

From a colours point of view, I tend to use light, with a splash of dark here and there - I too hate dark sites. If you are selling something, a professional design will net you more sales IMO!
