Is a charity fundraiser website I made for my brother who does charity work. Information about it is on the website.

We are gaining massive hits EVERYDAY and have made £72.28 in donations in just a week and a half.

Just wondering on what I can add to make it more helpfull etc.

All ideas appreciated!

Doesn't really look like a charity websites to be honest..

www.cancerresearchuk.org/

See the difference, looks like your site was made by a HxF website designer, and probably was.
Doesn't look professional enough to be a charity website, if those are the right words - although i admire what your brother is doing, good luck with it all.

It was designed for a target audience of kids, so its pixely and colorful. Where as cancer research has gone for a more professional look as its aimed at adults.

Appreciate the feedback thanks :)

I wouldn't design like that for that demographic. I appreciate it's a charity website and I respect that, but you should consider redesigning.

I think you should get a nice banner/logo. That'd improve it a lot.

a new banner the current one is being stretched

Hm... the domain name is harshly sounding, not harsh as in OMG THAT'S HARSH TAKE IT DOWN

i mean harsh as in the sound of it, two k sounds never really work together, but if its working, well done.

the banner could be redone so that it's not stretched and the colours would put me off as an adult because it doesnt look... professional enough, and would stop me from donating.

good luck, a very worthy cause.

oh and the fact you have said to leave your address in the shoutbox. has put me off instantly. sorry. i would never post my address online in a publicly visible place?

I would suggest changing the header on top of the page, just doesn't fit in. It also looks too habboey. The rest is nice thought, good work. :)

It doesnt say leave address in shoutbox, its on about the paypal comment box. :)

ps: things such as the name wont be changed. Its called that for a reason and thats because he is going to start selling caps (because summer is approaching) and all money will go to charity.

I fail to see why a charity website would be aimed at kids.

I think you will find that he meant the charity is for kids - the money raised goes towards kids that have cancer or are severely ill.

Although, that was never clear even after reading the first 3 paragraphs of the great wall of text which no-one will ever read. There really needs to be a banner or image across the main content area with something like "Help change a childs life today and support the continuous research into putting a stop to cancer!". Would make it a lot lot lot clearer instead of me reading through the campaign page to finally see half way down:


they moan about having to go to school or the fact they want the latest toy and are not allowed it. WELL…. Inside Birmingham Childrens Hospital lies hundreds of children dying of cancer BRAIN TUMOURS! LEAUKIMIA! To name just two.

Make it clearer!

It has too much information, you need some callouts with pictures of the actual caps, not just a bunch of text. I got bored reading it already, and if this is designed for kids, they wouldn't spend a lick of time reading that.

The whole site is unorganized..

There is no alignment..

To be honest.. it looks like a Habbo site turned charity. There's no organization to the layout of it, it's all text.. no pictures of the product, no anything.. it's hard to even get the idea of what the site is about? Your logo and banner should reflect what you are actually doing.. sure it's got a picture of a kid with cancer.. but does it have anything to do with the "Cancer Cap" idea? No..

Rethink the theme, rethink the design, rethink a lot of what the site is.. find your theme and how you want to express that theme.. then start again.

At this point all you can do is add a radio and a request line and you'd be set with a fansite.

Don't get me wrong, the idea is a great idea! What you guys are doing is great, just going about it in the wrong way. Congrats on that.
