I am on the mobile version !
Main page look very nice, but when you go inside an article (like "Today Only: Save Up ...") It's look like a mess and not organize..

Nice!!

At first glance, a couple comments:
-I like the layout. Feels very polished; I like how it keeps the DD feel but with an updated look.

-I would reorder the links on top like this:
About Us, New Features, Advertiser Disclosure, DansDeals Forums

-I would make the link to DDF open in a new tab


New Features page:
I would make the header bigger, and remove a little bit of the whitespace between each item. Or make some of the images smaller so that each item is equally spaced.

Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

There's too much space between the words "Product Search" and the search box


Also, is Product Search any different than regular search? If not I would take out the word Product.

Talking about the look - not the functionality - of the site, my overall feeling is that it's too clinical-looking. Maybe something as simple as a slightly off-white background could fix this. In a way it looks like a platform's default template.

The first impression of the homepage is "just another lousy deal site", not a respected and well-regarded one.

Needs some color, especially the new logo, it looks so good standing alone, but near that rich color ad, it's wiped out.

In the "about us" section - which is great - JJ's profile reads

JJ lives in Sunny Miami with his wife JJ and their son Carmy. He was at Penn Law 3 years ago when he joined the DansDeals team to help Dan expand the deals section increasing the type and amount of deals posted daily

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

I'd add a comma before the word "increasing"

DansDeals readers have earned over 5 billion miles and points as well as saved $500 million on goods and travel deals.

What is this based off, only referral links?

Also, when you hover over the "Airfare deals" tab, three of the same ads for "find cheap flights on priceline" appear in succession (could be on purpose).
Brevity may be the soul of wit, but floridity is its spirit.
