Website Review on laughing bead

sample of the product
it has been a while since i have done a review on a website but i decided it was time for a new one today i’m reviewing the laughing bead handmade jewellery website/blog.

ok first off i want to talk about the site layout when i first arrived here i was greeted by some crazy colours then i released it pictures of this hand made jewellery and i can see where this is going and it’s great i like the site layout very much you don’t see many website these days that has lots of colours in it the site layout out has good background colours and has 11 page tabs on the site but it could be less

so for the site layout it’s close has to be a 9 out of 10 as it could be a lot simpler than it is now and most people don’t like looking through pages and pages on a website to find the answer.

next on everyone list in this day and age is price everyone looking for a cheap deal or the cheapest deal lets instantly we know that it’s free postage to the uk on orders over £15 this grabs my attention as it’s on the home page.

the highest you're looking at pay for this handmade bracelet is around 8 uk pounds this is a fair prices for this type of craft as one it is handmade and two they look good they're not cheap they look good so as i person who might want to buy this i would pay £8 for one. they also do custom made bracelets for the same price and you choose your colours.

so my score for the price is got to be a 10 out of 10 as it is a fair price to pay for handcrafted items i have seen places online where you can pay a lot more than this and it has turned out not to be so good i have done that in the past but these i like.

ok as many of you know this is done in two parts the first part is navigation and the seconds part is contact so the top score can only be 5

first i’m going to start with navigation this site has a lot of pages on it and it far too many so it makes it harder to find what i’m looking for and most people don’t want to be looking for ages for their answer and me personally some of these pages can be cut out the website or cut down at least so for navigation i have to take into account that important tabs i would look for are there but there no order to them so i can give this a 3 out of 5

ok i’m now looking for contact information and i get is an email address for the website email there could be a lot more information on this page for example a live chat during working hours. a contact form that send the email direct to you as most people don’t like to open new tabs on the web brewers type and email and send it as the computer might crash,the email might bounce back. ect so for contact info there need to be more so i can only score this as a 2.5 maximum there needs to be more information added.

also people like reading blogs these days gives them information on there is a blog to the site owner however there is some interesting parts in this and relevant information but there is also some not so relent post to do this the site with me as i run a few websites i never mix personal with business thats why i have a Facebook account for my business and my personal i hardly give any clients my personal Facebook.
but that just me so this blog is personal and not business but there is also some useful information on it so my score will be a 6 out of 10 for the blog as it needs to be more business orientated rather than personal.

service is a major part of running a website or blog for example most site say we get back to you as soon as possible. as i have said before i run many websites successfully. and with the postage there needs to be postage within the UK this much…. and outside the UK contact us for details. i have come across this page called international ordering from outside the uk nice page but it is selling more stuff this needs to be about postage and showing different prices and some of this information can go on the contact page. ect i have seen a lot on this site and the service sound top of the line. but there could be an inv provement definitely by all means no website is perfect. so for service i would need more but this get a high 7.5 in my books but it close to 8

testimonials are another high point to a website it helps people decide whether a web page is fake is they can see people have bought from the site before and had a good service as this page is on this website i gone to making the beads page to check it out

this is good top line is says every bead is hand crafted this is good it gives it a personal touch to it. and it goes on to tell you how they are made what they are made of so the buyer knows what they are getting and how it is made to show how much time goes into make a bead.
and to support it there is a picture of the site owner making the bead

this is all i need to see to want to order from this website so i got to give it a 10 out 10 for the personal touch and the fact it tells me exactly how it is made so i know.

ok the major thing these day is social networking. on Facebook twitter, ect ect this website has a Facebook account however it a page on the website it does not need to be this all it really needs to be is the logo put on the homepage of the blog and people will find their ways and a bit of text saying like us for deals etc so as there is a Facebook page and deals for this there

so the score for this is has to be 8 out 10.

next i’m going to look at this about us needs to have more to it what you do who you are but as there is not much information on this it needs to worked on as there not much for me to review so it a low score of 4 out of 10

this site has really good content and it was good to read though it gives me as much information as i needed to consider buying this product from this website it told about how they make it and showed me images of this

so finally i will give this a 10 out 10


my final thought on this blog are that is is well made and that the time and effort has gone into this website fully and this has been one of the website that i have fully enjoyed reviewing about and there is work that needs to be done to this no doubt but over time i can see it getting better so at the moment my final thought are going to score around 7.9 out of 10 there needs to be some work done to it but it is good

so the final score for the blog site is 83.9 out of 100 for this blog.

website review of quickgamer.net





It has been a while since i last posted on my blog mainly due to the holidays hope everyone who reads my blog had a good one. anyway today i’m going to be doing a review on a website quickgamer.net that has guides to games. these games are for Facebook

ok this website is not really a full website but it is still a website. as this need people focus on the games that they help you with the site layout is not as important but when i arrived on it i got an amazing of how nicely it was laid out and how simple it was to navigate around each game they help you with has it own page on the website simple so for site layout and  how simple it was for me the go around is 20 this is because i answered two objects with at one go.

as this is to help people they are on Facebook this button is on there homepage. so you can like them straight away the only thing is there not on twitter not from what i can see so but they properly do have one it just me not seeing it right but for social networking is a 8 because they need the twitter button to make it up to 10.

next i going into details of what this site offers people. well like me nay of us i like to play on the xbox i do get stuck on it so there are site that have guide on how to do the game so this site does not cater for xbox games but more of the Facebook games and like me we have all been bored and played Facebook games i even get stuck on them so for me this site is good. there are four games they help you with so for example i want help with village life.  so i click on the village life tab. it gives me all the information of what type of game it is and all the rest i also ask if i want to play it tempting

under all of this is gives me a sum up of the game good so i know if it is interesting or not.
as i’m a beginner i’m going to follow the guide it offer pictures and tells me all about what i got to do 100% manage to do this game so for service and detail it is 10

what are my final thoughts of this website

well i manage to complete a facebook game while on the phone to my nan grate. it is easy reading and no big words used i mean a 10 year old could read through it and i’m not 10 myself but still. it was good the images related to the game so i could see if i was going wrong or write it has a nice simple layout. yes it could have had a twitter and maybe a request but from what i seen of this website i like it so from me it’s a 10

as this is a smaller website than what i normally do then i’m marking it out of 50

so i review this website and i would have given it a 48 out of 50 so almost top marks from me so if you need help with facebook games then go here it helped me.

website review of www.ojolie.com



Season greetings to everyone who reads my blog. as it is that time of year again i’m going to review www.ojolie.com this website sell e products.

first off i’m going to talk about the site layout when i first arrive to this site i am welcome by a nice banner that changes as it is nearly christmas it has nice christmas feel to it this will get anyone in the mood for the happy holidays. i really like the logo on the page it says the site name with a bird that carrying a card. it seems everything is under it’s own page for example ebooks are under ebooks so it is all tidy so for the site layout i’m giving it a 9.5 it is really close to 10.

the price on the site is very good you have to sign up to the website this is like any normal sign up. now you do have to pay the price of one year membership is $12 as a student i would pay this price as one i’m a student and two it would cost me more to send a real card to my family around the world. for example if i went to card factory it would cost me $6 to buy the card then i would have to pay postage which would cost me $7 to send it international this site has already beaten the total price. plus there is no saying that the postal service will get in there on time so i would pay the $12 to send e cards it is much cheaper. so for price a solid 10

Ok so if i’m having trouble i am going to need to contact the site this has what i am looking for in the help page has a FAQ that you probably find your answer if not you can fill out the contact form to send them a message or even ring there voice mail phone and someone will get back to you. so as this is split into two section for contact it gets a 5

for the navigation for the site very good everything has it’s own section and is easy to get around if i was 80 years old i could do it had no problems with it so this gets a 5.

this site has it’s own blog so you can read of what they are doing what new products are available to buy from them i found this a good read and very interested in what they were doing. so for the blog they get a top 10 as it is relevant to the site i have read many blogs that have nothing to do with the site or service. so 10 for the blog.

the service they offer is amazing as you pay your membership fees and then you can pick out your card customize it how you want it some cards i found had sound with them so yes i have seen many e cards that just writing not these ones they are top quality and have sound so a nice 9.5 if you could upload your own pictures it will get a 10.

i do know that this website is on all social networking sites that are out there so they have a way to keep upto date if it on facebook or twitter they keep people in the loop with all of the relivates and don’t tell storys like some people do on facebook.so for social networking is a 10 for covering them all.

like all good site it has an about us page this is not one of them site that tell you brief description on the about us page they tell you the full history which i find interesting as when i go on site i want to know about them as i want to feel i have a friend with the owner of the site even tho we will never meet them at all. so for the about us page is summed up but it tells you to go to their blog to find out more another thing i like it leaves it on a cliffhanger. so for the about us page 9.8 needs to be a little bit longer in my eyes then the cliffhanger.

this is more imagery site so the content is not important but they offer ecards for every occasion so the text content is not needed on a site like this but the pictures are so for that content i had to give it a 10.

my final thought as a student i would buy a membership and send my cards to my relatives as it saves me money and in this day and age everyone is looking to have the best deal they can.

so my total score for this website. is 89.3 out of 100 i have given a 10 for my personal opion to add on to this this site has landed a top spot with the other site and it is recomended to anyone so if you like a cheap way to send ecards so the one stop website to get your christmas cards


this is a sample of the quality of the ecards on the site.

earcandylive.co.uk website review







Today i am going to be reviewing  wedding entertainment and event service website earcnady.co.uk



first off i want to talk about the site layout is very welcoming the background has the acts on it and they have a video of one of the acts playing it you have to unmute the sound but this is no problem as i have been on many site where the sound plays automatically and it’s get annoying this site is not one of them so for lay out i am going to give it a 10.

ok the logo is something else i noticed now it nicely in the corner and it fits in well with the site layout plus not many site have this but this one does have it is a catchy caption we make your event rock now i can guarantee that in the next few days i’ll be in lectures as i am a student and i’ll think of this and there is a high chance i'll just say we make your event rock so gotta give it a 10 for the fact it’s simple and catchy.

now here is something that everyone will ask how easy is the site to navigate as i do not like looking through page after page to find the answer and looking at the site it is very easy to navigate  for example if i got to live acts it gives me 5 subpages where i can check out their acts musics and it’s split into genre so for navigation is a 5 now another question i have to ask is how easy is it to contact the site or company and my answer is easy at the bottom of there home page is a phone number,email,and postal address however if i got onto the contact us page i get the phone number again the address again and email and plus a contact form i have been on me nay website where i just get an email address this site is not one of them so 5 for contact so overall for the navigation and contact it’s a 10. also i noticed that if i want to audition as a performed i can as there is a link.

now in this day and age everyone like to know what everyone is up to so it’s good because most site have a blog and so does this one but most question i ask myself is 1,is it revived and two interesting the answer to these two question is yes it’s revenant and two interesting as it give you tips for example how to work out a wedding budget now it tells me so for the blog it gets a 10.

so what sort of service do ear candy offer they office live act, and dj’s for weddings and events i have listened to the demo of all acts and they can sing i mean it’s proper singing and it sound good for example i could hire someone who came 100th in the x factor and they sound like they did on the show or i can hire for example black & gold and have them come and sound like katy perry when they sing one of there songs i can tell they sound good because if anyone knows if they read my other reviews that i’m university students studying theatre production and i learn about sound engineering. so what do i get if i hire black&gold for example. i know i get 2 hrs of live performance from the band all stage lighting and sound equipment included saves money in hire a stage hire company to supply the sound.

tells me about what i need to ask the venue for example power sockets and health and safety. so for the level of service provided. only downside is does not give a rough starting price so that drops down to an 9

it is all ok me reviewing this site and giving my opinion on it but i like to know what other people thought of it and it’s always good to have a testimony from people who have hired ear candy. ok some of the reviews i see from people who have hired them are “ the band were absolutely fantastic” “got everyone dancing” now this is good i like to read what people think always helps me decide on the review so from what i think of the site what happy couples think of it this is a easy 10.

a way for any website to make it these days is thought Facebook,twitter and other networking sites ear candy is on all of them without any problem so they are getting the attention from Facebook so another 10 why because some site just use Facebook some just use twitter this using every single one.

before hiring a company like this you like to know a bit about them and people are always busy to answer phones and have a 10 minute conversation with you on the phone so the easy way to do this is thought an about us page this site has one if not more than one page converse all the question and they are

1, there story.
they wanted to bring something different to the world of entertainment gives you about their path and how they go about it

2, there music
ok want about the acts themselves ok so it gives me all of the information i need on the acts but this site goes a step further gives you a picture of the act and tells you what they do or play so i get the feeling i’m meeting them before i have met them

3, why pick them
from other places there stuff you can change and can not change with ear candy you able to change stuff and set it up how you want to set up your band for your event

so for answer all them question it;s another 10

also has the site got all the content it needs to be able to function yes it has information about the company,has review from people who have contacted them and has multiple ways of contacting the so it has the content it need to stand grate this is a 10

so final thought are that it is a good site i enjoyed looking around it and reviewing it sound interesting as a dj myself some dj pages for wedding don’t look like this so the final score is

99 out of 100 that is the best score i seen from a website review i have given and if and when i get married i going to look at this site because of the catch phase we make your event rock and there site rocks

dealsanddiscountcodes.co.uk website review







Hey ben here with another website review i know at sometimes times are tough i know as a student i’m always looking for the next amazing deal. today i’m going to review the website 

ok when i first arrive at this site i am greeted by a nice colourful logo and a tag line of slogan as it is known as “getting you the best deal” this is catchy i find as i will be thinking of it every time i go shopping so for originality and catchiness of slogan gotta give you 10

ok on the home page i am greeted by different company offering different deals this is the most popular deals going but it dose not say when for anyone looking it could be most popular of last year, this month ,last week needs to be specific so in my eyes that drops it down to 8

ok for example i would like to buy a new xbox game i go to this website to get a deal on it what happens next so i clicked on the deal i then get forwarded to the website that sells the game and i get unto 50% off in this case so ease to get to the deal 10 

on the next page that says discount codes i get more deals on but this is for more clothing brands and this ranges from 15% upwards 
so i click on adidas 15% off what do i get? i found that it brings up a list of deals so i can find all the adidas deal in one place save time in searching and it’s easy to navigate. ok in order to get this you have to sign up to there newsletter grate but this is not the website fault it what adidas for example put in place. i will give the following the ease of navigation is a 10 

ok i found out that the deals page dose not work on this website so as i can not review it i can only give it a 1 star.

next i’m going to the about us page. i find that this site caters for the uk public i know this as it is a .co.uk domain and it tells me about it in the about us this is too short i feel i do not get enough information about who they are, and what there aiming to do if they add some history maybe so for this i’m giving it an 8

ok this is helpful but not all site have it this site dose and it’s a FAQ this help answer the most common question so you can get your answer  this part answer my main question i would have is what if we find a code that has expired? the answer is there so 10 for the FAQ page maybe they could add more question to it .

ok the most important page on the site is the contact page. this is simple it give an email address there is so much you could do here for example add a message form in so it get sent to your email right away. or an online chat that is available during office hours so for the simpleness of the contact page gotta give it a 6

this website has got a Facebook fan page this is good as it got nearly over 300 fans on networks that deal with thousands on people is good form of marketing so this gets a 10 as i also saw twitter.

so when i visited http://www.dealsanddiscountcodes.co.uk today how did i like my visit i found it an enjoyable and would come looking hear if i would like to get my hands on some deals and as a student i do. so my personal view is i would tell people about this website 

total score 73 this website is a thumbs up from us

on the left hand side of the page is reviews from customers this is rated our of 5 starts all of the review i read about the site have come back top of i’m going to give customer service 10

the site also has a about us this tells me more about the company and some domestic pest that i may find around my home there qualifications they have for this information i’m going to give an 8 needs to have more about the company it’s self.

pester also have a FAQs page on there website this give me the answer to many of my question about pest i have. for example of how to get rid of mice and how they are most likely to entrĂ©e my home for this i’m going to five a 10 

the service page is good as it tells you in a drop down menu what service they offer and it’s easy for navigation in my review of how easy it is for me to navigate thought the site i have given it a 10 

ok now for contact if i wanted to write to this company i can there website offers me a postal address and telephone and a tech number also with email address and a form to fill in the send them a message. this get a 10 as they show all the ways i can contact them if i wish to.

ok so now if i had a problem with ants in my house what happens ok i click on the ants page it tells me in depth information of ants and how the product works. so i want the product what happens next for me well if offers me anything from spray to large kits with prices ranging from £3.90 to £18.99this is a very good price i feel as 1 a student and two someone who would properly need this so yes for a whole kit i would pay 15.99 not for a large kit but for a medium kit yes  so for price and information of the pest in question i would give it a 10

the site it’s self is good i would buy from it and it gives me so much information while reviewing this i did look at others website about pest control and no other site give me as much information as pestek it also offers Paypal payment so you can track your order with Paypal.

my person review of this site is 95% a little bit more information is needed to give it an extra 5 % to reach 100 but it is in my top i have even bookmark this site just in case i need ways to get rid of some pests in my house.
