Hi everyone ! I had been thinking about this for a couple of days and i have decided to launch a news website about what is happening currently in the metaverse, the crypto space, the NFT craze, and much more. Here is the link if you are interested to take a look: https://decentra.newsIt would be a pleasure to take your inputs/suggestions.. If you are looking to write some comment and help me out that would be awesome ! this is hard running it alone and putting up original content ! I have just started about 2 weeks ago, so be gentle with me ! Thanks everyone, and happy reading ! Nikolas

The name of the website sounded familiar and when I opened the link, sure enough, it looks connected to a project. In what way is your platform independent? Are you not sponsored by Decentraland? Some feedbacks: - The colors are too strong for me. I wouldn't spend more than a minute looking at it.
- It's nice that you didn't add any ads that would pop up

in my opinion the website is quite good and simple but in the section there are too many striking colors on the menu, in my opinion it is not too pleasing to the eye
thanks.

consistency in providing updated content about crypto and the NFT craze must still be done. because if it is not consistent the website will not grow.
Some articles or articles that are made must be real and in accordance with reality, never make up news that has never happened. I used to also have a website around cryptocurrency, but I paid less attention and the lack of consistent content was created, so the website I created didn't develop.

good, innovative and also not too complicated to see some menus. I appreciate it, because you have tried to provide information. and of course you are required to be ready to provide the latest news. So my suggestion is that you should be able to bring up the search feature so that it is clearly visible, because I hardly see it because it is too dense and the colors are not visible. Maybe you can move it in the top right corner so it's easier to see ... rather than crammed like that. oh yeah, the color is too contrasting, so it disturbs the eyesight .. try to pay attention to the appearance so that it is comfortable to the eye .....

Nothing much more to add, its running and just fine. Just let the site updated on news/updates and keep a good and original content, try accepting guest posts from other authors or website owners as well. Dont forget to add your privacy policy as well.

This is great the site is OK by me I took time to read about NFT on the site and I have learned a lot from the news. All that is needed on the site is constant updates with good information's I will be a regular visitor to the site.

just need to update and incorporate every suggestion from before, I agree the colors are too distracting. I can't read too long. OP will definitely maximize the appearance of the web.

I like the website so far, I think you did a pretty good job with the layout. It is quite easy to navigate which is the first most important thing in my opinion. It's colorful which I like, and makes it easier to separate each topic. I might be interested in writing for the site, depending on a few things. I am a licensed financial advisor and have been "in" crypto since 2014, so I might be able to bring a little expertise to the site.

How are you going to monetize your effort here? I hope there will be no ads everywhere later on. Also, how are you going to tackle a scenario when a specific project wants to create an article for them, but upon searching, your team found out there are some irregularities on the project? Are you still going to make an article for them, consider that they will pay you for doing so?

Hi Nikolas, the landing page is good. It highlights the most recent news which is very usual but I've seen some that they just put random articles at the front so I just want to say that it's a fine front page. I think you need to change the font color for those articles because that color of purple indicates that a visitor has already read that article. Maybe plain black would do just as the other news article websites does.

Rent this sig space so that BTC goes to $100k.

May I ask which assets site are you using for the images in your articles? It certainly doesn't look like you're using stock images from Adobe Stock or Getty Images, they look custom made by a designer you hired. Is this correct?

Thanks, guys, I am not that familiar with coding, and I am also using WordPress. So some stuff that was proposed here, like the research menu, and some other stuff i came up with, are difficult to implement for me, but I am working on it. I am working very hard to put out mostly 100% of my own written content, so it is a lot of work.
I am still reading your suggestions and i am really happy that i received some feedback.. i was thinking i wouldn't get much response.. As for the colors, i will look into it, as the colors were kinda linked to Decentraland, but i might be moving toward metaverse in general.
Anyways thanks! i will be writing an article on BTC when i see some good momentum going! I think we are somewhat in a consolidation phase right now. Hodl for gold guys! If you've made it this far, you can hodl a couple more years!
Thanks thanks again!!

Thanks, I knew that i was missing something. Some of the images I made myself, some I asked the event's host to provide me, and some, god forbid me, have been taken from google. Promise I will credit the image in the tag next time I use something that isn't mine.

Bolded part is very impressive ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I'm using Envato Elements for my news site, they're good at providing stock images for generic subjects but sadly it's not very useful for getting images of specific kinds of topics, in particular brands, technologies and events, so that's something I need to figure out how to work on without dropping a couple grand on Getty Images. Not sure about the legality of reusing brands' stock images I find on other news outlets though, I'm going to err on the "no" side.

@DecentraNews Here are my suggestions: - RSS feed
- I do know there are a few workarounds out there but sometimes, they don't work on certain websites. - Reduce thumbnail size
- I'm referring to thumbnails that are shown in each category [tag]. - Add dark mode
Best of luck ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Best of luck ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Since this is a WordPress site, an RSS feed is included by default. https://decentra.news/feed/The second point is something I agree with. In the category view, the image/text ratio is too high. As a general rule, I suggest a text-to-image ratio of 80 percent to 20 percent. Dark mode has advantages, and it is always a nice touch in the design of news portals. @OP, I suggest that you remove the purple color that was used to highlight the titles. It doesn't go with the rest of the page's color scheme.
