For Coffee Lovers
I am working on a small project. Right now I have a blog with informative articles, and a classifieds system for coffee enthusiasts.

I do not have an third party advertisement at this time. I am trying to build a decent following, then explore some creative ideas to monetize off of it.


I just launched it the other day. Look over it, and let me know if you have any ideas, or suggestions.

I am open to anything.

coffee kingdom,

As i read over your front page i got the impression of a "how its made" tv show. Your intro is well written i was just wondering if you wanted to go towards the scientific-sociological side of coffee. Your colors look like you are trying to create the comfortable coffee shop feel but your word choice kind of battles that.

small stuff and maybe it is just me looking to hard but it is the small stuff that is the difference from good to great

best of luck

Thanks for taking the time to check out my link.

Interesting point Jake. I am going for an inviting, non-distracting look,. My target audience would not be any person who is coffee drinker, but one who is fairly indulged in it. I think that my current writings do lean on the scientific side of things, but would lend useless to true aficionados and professionals of the industry.

So in your opinion, are you thinking that I need a more professional/industrial layout?
