    Hi,

    Would love to hear feedback on my website:

    http://irishgolfcoursereviewsireland.com/

    Thanks,
    Kev

    Will you be adding all courses in Ireland, would you be looking for people to review and report on courses?

    The image is working now, however, Leinster links to a 404.

    It's a nice site, well done. If I was to knit-pick I'd say the logo looks a little cartoony and perhaps you need to say a bit more about who is behind the website and why just for credibility purposes. I'd also use the other social media links such as youtube, google plus, linkedin, etc.

    I really hate the section header colors with the two shades of green. This looks out of place on a site where the menu has a gradient. Pick one or the other.

    Or neither, and go with a modern flat look.

    It is possible to theme the embedded google calendar with custom CSS and I suggest that you pick a colour scheme that blends in with your site rather than looking dropped in.

    Logo is nice but favicon could be clearer.

    Slideshow on front page is pointless. Doesn't do anything as it's just an image slideshow, containing no information or links to anywhere. Consider putting useful things there (if you have to have a slideshow there - https://medium.com/design-ux/4bfe41f3ceda) and move those images to a gallery etc

    I'm still not entirely sure what your website is about after a few minutes of quickly skimming through. Define it in 5 words and stick that front and centre on the front page, maybe as a slide. "crowd-sourced reviews of [irish] golf courses"

    Seriously, I would consider re-doing the whole site in wordpress. There are plugins that will do what you need (user submission, contact form, calendar + map embedding) far easier and a premium template will give the site the polish it needs like being easier to view on mobile devices (responsive design.)

    Yup, slideshow is a bit pretty but ultimately pointless as is just about everything in the left hand column (3 paras of text, video and game). I would dump it all, have the 5 or so words definition and put reviews or links to review categories there instead. The site is about reviews, right? How does a user navigate to those apart from the latest ones on the rhs. The navigation overall needs a lot of work; it's just not thought out adequately.

    Also sitemap links to xml version, this should be a html version.
