It’s Friday, and it’s time for some site feedback. If you are new to Best Web Image, and the Site Feedback Posts, it’s about giving some feedback on the site listed below. The best way to improve a site is listening to visitor feedback!
Today’s Site: ThinkofGreen.com ![]()
Description: ThinkofGreen.com sells toner cartridges. You would not guess by their domain name, but after visiting their site you will see why they picked it. The company’s marketing is based heavily on recycling, and it’s advantages that it can offer their customers by doing so.
Visitor Feedback: Please take the time to look at their site, and let them know what you think by making comments on this post below. Positive and negative comments are welcome, but comments like “it sucks†or “it’s nice†have no value because you don’t say why.
Your Site: If you want your site to get posted here let me know. Just make sure to include your email, the url, and why you think I should pick your site. It’s free, just not everyone is going to get picked.

Have you looked into UserVoice for creating feedback portals?
It’s easy to set up and free to use.
Might be worth a look-see.
Hey Marcus, that is a great idea. Just last night I created a new category for this site called “Cool Tools”. Give ThinkofGreen some input here, and I will make sure I start the category writing about UserVoice.
Oh, and I guess I should make a quick comment of my own. Immediate reaction to ThinkofGreen? One of the legs broke, and it fell on the left margin. I would either center the entire content, or at least create some margin from the edge of the screen. The tabs on top didn’t really work for me either. They seem clumsy, or out of place.
i think their logo should be mixed with their top banner,& should not be seperate.
Being green is a very big thing these days, especially for businesses.
The design is lackluster. Looks pieced together from templates to be honest. Fixing the header like Imran says would help a lot though.
I was expecting more use of the colour green… and was disappointed I didn’t get the ‘think green’ vibe from the look and design of the website. I agree with Robot – and think it looks lackluster!
It functioned fine for me – on a Mac / Safari browser. Everything worked… but… the site could be a much better looking website.
Just look at the use of the recycling icon in the top banner image/words – that’s clever and a nice touch… but this idea and expression of the ‘think green’ concept is not carried throughout the website.
The website doesn’t seem to flow right for the readers. The page segmentation seems to be be a bit awkward. I also agree with Manz about the use of green color theme throughout the site.
The logo and the blue buttons make the site look really unprofessional
I didnt like the top menu,
2 rows menu is disturbing and confusing
I also would agree with @Manz that there should be more Green.
Also, I get the sense that the content is mushed against the left. Maybe centering would help to add balance to the design.
my 2¢
Being the editor of a green directory (www.ethicaldirectory.org)I view this site with interest and think is and excellent site for the enviroment but its also good for this lean times giving that refill toner cost less than a new one.
The site was well designed and easy to navigate in my opinion.
hehe, was expecting the site to be predominantly green
However its good to see that we are going towards a greener world.
The site itself does need to be centered or at least wider.
