Hi, I'm seeking a critique of a prototype of our website design.
Color/content/interface/etc. suggestions welcome. The site is:
www.lazyrecipes.com . Thanks

Hmm, a direct copy of Google?
Have you no imagination?

Searched: liver, carrot, onion, steak: nothing found.

Do you actually have any content?

So here's the critique: shite.

Thank you,
Gorm

Very simple - but simple is often best!!
obviously a limited menu as yet!
When I found a food there was a recipe for - rice - 3 recipes for that! -
the links! at the top of the recipe page don't work.
not sure about the being able to submit a recipe - I hope they are vetted
first!!
Is this just a free service you are devising? -

Yes we need more content! We're going to add a few hundred more
recipes from various free sources and then move the site into a wiki
format so users will be able to edit and contribute more easily. This
is a free service--it's impossible to make any decent money off of
advertising these days anyways.

I love the drawing on the home page, though I think I would increase the
saturation of the colors a little to make it more eye-catching. Think the
search item works well.

I wouldn't give up on making revenue from ads - recipe sites are very
popular these days. I knew someone who created an information site for
nurses and made $10,000 a year in ad revenues (and that was ten years ago).
He later sold it for a nice amount of money.

If you go for ads, though, I think you would need to beef up the home page a
little with more content and perhaps add some about us pages, etc. I would
add featured recipes and cooking hints or something like that to the home
page.
