You have a great and knowledgeable staff, but your website is a bit hard to navigate. Let me explain what I mean. When you first log in, you're greeted with overly large pictures and header texts. Beneath that are slightly smaller but still too large images and text, all of which take up the entire first screen against a dark blue wallpaper. The whole thing feels empty and "uncozy," if you know what I mean. Are you familiar with the term "liminal space"? It gives exactly that feeling.
When you scroll down, you get the latest news, which is great. In my opinion, the latest news should come first and be in a blog format where you scroll down. The windows don't need to be too large, but the text and images should preview the articles. Additionally, you should update the comment icon to always show the number of comments, even if it's zero. This consistency helps avoid the subconscious impression that a missing number indicates a bug.
To me, the entire website feels scattered and lacks structure. I believe the first page should feature news prominently. A small window on the right side could display the latest reviews or tests.
I always support you and don't use adblock because you have a good proportion of ads placed around the site. In terms of content, you could create small articles with tips and tricks, trivia, and quizzes that engage readers of all ages. For example, you could have a poll asking what was the most interesting or useful feature in Android OS over the past five years. List the options and allow users to vote, then display the results to show how many people chose each option. This could be displayed in a small square box on the left or right.
I believe you should ditch the "Popular Stories" category or merge it with "Latest News." Instead, add a toggle above where users can choose if they want to see the latest, most popular, or oldest stories, similar to how some prominent sites do. Also, why not add a dislike button? It's not like this is a controversial website where sensitive topics are discussed. Even Reddit has a dislike button, and I think you should too. It would bring more people and engage them more in discussions.
I don't know if it will cost a lot to implement these changes, but I really like your website and the useful things you do. That's why I want your website to grow. Thank you for letting us share our opinions and for trying to listen to them!
Wishing al the best luck to your good team!
