Topic: Suggestions for my cryptocurrency website (Read 2076 times)

Thanks to all for your suggestions! I've been listening and have already implemented some of the ideas you have given me and plan to work on adding more! Keep the ideas and comments coming!

It is like you just combined everything. But there is still something missing I will get back to you once I see the idea could be good. For now I think you should get some more users by advertising it. Good luck.

Despite of the design, I'd rather suggest some content that might be interesting. Like:
- A library with links to up-to-date books, articles and market research
- A list of websites where ppl can read current btc news
- A twitter plugin that automatically shows the newsfeed on #btc

Good luck with your website!

Ten seconds between claims? That seems very, very fast. Without some game to possibly win back some of what I pay out I don't know how I could make this profitable for myself or the user and keep a faucet running...

Oh, and the site now has a basic UI!

I would suggest to put only one faucet in your website with 10 sec intervals, so then your website can be much popular. And make advertising as much as possible, preferably through Google.  

A theme aka ui for starters would go a long way.

The main URL (http://withbitco.in) contains a lot more than just a faucet!

Hard to review. The site consists of a script without any customization. Try to make something unique even if you use a mass faucet script.

OK, sir, but I am an UI designer therefore I concentrate on user experience, I will find more features adding to your site, let me think for 1 more day, will tell u tomorrow, busy now. 

Thanks; this was noted in the OP. I was more looking for comments on content, suggestions for features to add, etc.

Your site UI is not good looking, you can improve more graphic on your site, and the font can be better if you change the font, current site is bad looking. Just my 2 cents.

FWIW, I do this a lot, actually

don't think many people use smartphone for faucets lol

I'm glad you specifically mentioned the reward payouts on my faucet as they were mislabeled! I've fixed that and also upped the minimum reward to 100 satoshi, leaving the max reward per claim at 500. I realize this is not the highest paying faucet out there, but I am hoping to have more traffic coming from the rest of my site as I grow the content a bit and make it more accessible via actually implementing a UI.

It was mentioned to make the website smartphone friendly, but it should be mobile friendly already, at least most pages should be. Is this a general suggestion that was made or has somebody visiting from a mobile device not had the page render correctly?

Thanks again!

In my opinion your website must be support for smartphone, because as we know today is era of smartphone many people used it. If the website is support for smartphone. It will make easy to accessing on anytime and anywhere.

Well you need serious design, but you already know that. Apart from this building your site around faucet is not that great idea imo.
You need something more to attract visitors because your faucet is paying 60 satoshi every 120 minutes and then you have chance to win additional amount of satoshi up to 500?
I am not sure it is competitive at all seems very low. Compared to for example PrimeDice's faucet where they pay you 200 Satoshi every 2 minutes or so.

 I really do appreciate all of the feedback! Like nearly all the replies have mentioned, I do need to reduce some ad placement and actually implement a responsive UI for the content I have so far. Essentially my goal was to make the site have content of use and then return to make that stuff easier to access. Right now having things mobile friendly is the furthest I have come on that front, and will either probably plug existing code into a template or possibly (preferably) hire someone to design a responsive UI for me. I am hesitant to use a CMS simply because of the gigantic security problems associated with running even the most well maintained WordPress or Joomla instance, however this would be an option if I can't find a decent template or get one worked up.

Aside from the UI, does anyone have any more suggestions for content (along the lines of adding a block explorer, as was mentioned)? Like I said, I hope to reach both new and veteran Bitcoin users (thus having both a Bitcoin 101 section as well as an area for ASIC firmwares and associated files), and short of running a blog, I am sure there is useful information I could cover that I am simply not thinking of.

Along with gathering the right quality and quantity of content to make my website a Bitcoin-for-Everyone resource I worry that this approach might either make the site seem to be scattered or not well thought out. I have tried to break the homepage of the site down in to sections to avoid this, and plan on keeping it sectioned at least by topic however I am curious if I might be better off having Beginner / Advanced / Professional tiers (sections) of content; I doubt that someone reading about what a wallet is will be browsing for custom Antminer firmware for example.

Thank you again to everyone who has replied and taken the time to have commented on my work so far; it is very easy to miss all kinds of things working in a vacuum and you all have helped me to avoid that with some helpful and pointed suggestions!

You need to spend some time actually designing your website, as it stands now, it's just simple html.

Why don't you look at a CMS like Wordpress, for example, you'd have access to many plugins that could improve your ranking on Google and there are also a lot of themes available for free.

Good idea and site but from my point of view u should first try to satisfy visitors. But how to do that?? Simple just design a responsive website when user experience is worst then they might hesitate next time. So if you need help in designing then you can contact me

As the website is new,we don't expect much of content in it.Perhaps adding something which would lure more users is recommended.Faucets are completely different market,unless you heavily rely on making money from the faucet adds,don't keep this feature.I'd advise you to implement a transaction/blocks viewer (if that's the right term).After the content is added and of course the design fixed,all you need is an good SEO to get the bacon.
