Update: Due to overwhelming demand I’ve had to close off requests for now. If I’m able to accept more I’ll announce it on the blog. You can subscribe via feed or email if you don’t want to miss it.

I’m a strong believer in the benefits of web simplicity and reducing clutter.

One thing I’ve previously enjoyed doing is giving one-on-one feedback to bloggers and webmasters on how they can simplify and declutter their sites, strengthening their core message. It’s also something I don’t get to do often enough.

In an attempt to change that, I’ve decided to offer personalized email reviews of your blog or website, with a focus on simplicity and clutter removal tailored to you.

Opening date: 5 September 2007
Closing date: Offer is permanent

How do I get a review?

Read first: I’m happy to review any site, as long as it is not adult or potentially offensive.

Email me via my contact page with the subject line ‘Simplicity review’. In your email, include a link to your blog or website so I can head over there and start evaluating. In the mean time, you’ll receive an email confirming that your review has been received.

When you get that email, rest assured you’ll get a review eventually. I have no idea what kind of a demand there’ll be for this service so I can’t provide a time estimate as yet.

I’d be happy for you to give me some direction in your email, if you want to request feedback on specific elements. Otherwise I will evaluate what jumps out at me when I visit the site.

What do I have to do in return?

Nothing. You don’t have to link to me, you don’t have to write a review of this site, or commence any other action. This is simply me trying to exercise skill #21 of 101 Essential Blogging Skills: “Give without expecting to receive.”

You’re more than welcome to reproduce the email wherever you like, or to tell friends about the review service. You don’t need to be a reader of this blog to get a review.
