Wazua - a quick basic one. How to load photos/animations?

However, the quick reply option, smileys etc…is a welcome change. All in all, it will take some time to get used to but I am not opposed to the overall transition...a few adjustments e.g. the color will gradually make this change easier to adapt.

Really guys, this wazua thing is a mess.

I would advice you the next time you think of revamping a website, you should use the services of an SEO expert in your team.

The longer it takes you guys to change what guys are talking about, the more likely you get a competitor who will take you to the cleaners.

I know of 2 already and they are smilling with glee. Please don't think sk becoming redundant is not possible. As microsoft and their internet explorer, they were laughing at firefox.

It is simple what needs to be done:

1. Have one colour scheme for the site

2. Remove the blatant google ads...I would advice you to google "google smart pricing" and "google human reviews"

3. Navigation should be easier than it is...this is where you need an seo expert

4. white burning eyes background is a result of terrible colour coding ...please google "css developer" who should be able to get you a good colour code....by the way nothing bad about the white, just the way the colours have been used

Just do this quickly and we may forget about this waria name...for now

The time was ripe for change. As always human beings will be resistant. the new site has breathed a new lease of life to SK. Kudos Admin
Give it a chance guys & you will get to like it

I miss the green colour.Difficult to navigate.

@Wazua

The site has some great things going and I think you guys have kazanad. Pewa moja. For instance, I like the mouse over previews where you can see a brief summary of a post's content before you open it.

Problem is that sometimes, it is not how well you do things but how well you are perceived to have done them.

I agree with @Generali. Consider addressing some of the quickfixes raised and you will start to win back the goodwill. Remember the 80/20 rule. You will be surprised that you need to do very little for 'Kenyans' to be reassured that you are indeed responsive.

And dont wait too long. You know what they say about crisis management...what you do immediately after the 'crisis' is what determines whether you eventually pull through or not.

But I dont envy you. I can tell you for free that no matter what you do, you will not be able to please everyone. Change management aint easy.

the pages are full of graphics and irritating colours.
taking too long to load,
it has truly lost touch with kenyans-green reminded us that we are agriculturalist.
the name wazua is a paradox( tunawaza halaful tunakuja kuwazua hapa...aiii sielewi).

however:
there is good tabulation of web content which is very good though hard to guess where to find your interest.

suggestions

reduce bright colours
reduce graphics
nelly data live feeds is a must!!!!

retain the name stockskenya ; if you must change then lets have something to do with hisa, wekezaji or at least something to show it deals with investors.

After reading all the exhaustive comments and critiques above, i believe that most issues are covered. My request now is to ask you to respond on the steps being taken so that we know if we are moving towards the goal or away from it.
Regards.

@ Wazua,

What i liked about Sk was the order. Made it easy to switch between categories and browse the threads making "headlines" WITHOUT loading the page AGAIN.

Think you can fix that on wazua.co.ke?

A quick visit to alexa was very revealing...
