All IM's what do you think of my home page?

17 replies
Hey everyone,

Would you mind taking the time to read my home page and let me know your opinions on it? Is it too salesy? is it not informative enough? Is it something that would push you away from buying if you had the problem?

Haven't been converting sales lately and am trying to narrow down the reasoning's behind this.

I'd really appreciate anyone's feedback from taking the time to check it out.



Thanks everyone.

    Hi.

    Here's my 2 cents:

    1) While I like the graphics quality of your header, I think it takes up too much space without moving your sales offer along. I feel it's eating up valuable "above the fold" real estate and you're not getting anything in return, like making your pitch.

    I think you can solve it in two ways:

    a) Make the overall header smaller.
    b) Use some of the header real estate to move the sales offer along.

    For example, you could make the 360 PROFIX lettering smaller and right below that identify your customer's pain: "Are you sick of game freezes, distorted Graphics, 2 and 4 Red Light errors, and the annoying E74 Error Code? Click here to learn how to solve it all under 1 hour!"

    And then you can have some kind of graphic near it. Or maybe make that big XBox graphic clickable.

    2) Overall, I think you should be a little more bold in your offer. These are gamers who want their XBox fixed NOW. So get on with it and right up front identify their pain and tell them how you're going to help.

    Right now your main offer graphic is way at the bottom of the page. Why not put it near the top? Maybe even in the header area if you want to keep the header big.

    3) I'd drop the XBox 360 Repair Center headline. It's too quiet for me. Why not be more direct:

    "Super Videos Teach You To Fix The Dreaded Game Freezes, Distorted Graphics, 2 and 4 Red Light errors, and the Annoying E74 Error Code All Under 1 Hour!"

    You can make that a little more eye appealing with some bullet points and sub headers.

    4) I think the main body is a tad too wordy. Use more bullet points and sub headers to make the major points stand out. Remember, you're trying to let people know that you identify with their problem and that you have a solution for them that is easy, quick, cheap, etc. Whatever is your value proposition.

    Hope this gives you some ideas.

    The website looks great. I noticed however that some of your sentences are very long. Try to tidy up a few long ones as it is hard to follow some of the sentences.

    The style is very conversational friendly which is great I wonder if you are using dragon naturally speaking software?

    hey guys,

    I updated my home page - would you mind telling me what you think now?

    Re-adjusted the copy in the article, hopefully made it a little more appealing to create that sense of "this is the product I need" type of feeling. Also adjusted the headline. If you wouldn't mind giving your honest opinions and any objective criticism/feedback would be greatly appreciated.

    Heres the URL: Xbox 360 Repair Center

    Thanks guys,

    Andrew

        That's a great looking review site.

        What I was thinking while reading all the reviews was they are all great so which one should I buy if I can only afford(want) one? Right now they all sound good. The 2nd/3rd choices need a flaw or something different about them so your top choice is the obvious one.

        Too many good choices can stump people. Putting the lowest priced guide as your top pick can really get people interested. Everybody loves a deal.

        What if you pushed your top choice a bit more. Actually tell them if they only get one guide get this one and why. And have a good sized link(the one guide you should get) above the fold on more pages over the site.

        Those are some things I would test to try and get better conversions.

          Yes this is a valid point. I previously had my site set up in this manner. And naturally, the top guide is the only one that sold. But I wanted to see if I could sell other guides as well, instead of the primary one. But this may be irrelevant as the top guide really is the best one that I have seen. I.E. I've actually reviewed the product in respect to the other ones. But I do agree with you here very much.

          Do you think it would be wise to mention the price to show people how much they'd be paying for? Or might this make it look to much like an ad?

          Thank you. Will implement this idea.


          Thank you again for your feedback and taking the time to write this post out. Much appreciated.

    It seems very legit..with the videos and everything - my only question is how are you marketing it ... i mean, are you catching the flies who are willing to pay for this type of information?

    The only reason I would guess that you aren't selling anything with this is that you aren't attracting the right prospects...

      Hey Jon,

      Thanks for replying. I'm currently marketing it through articles, web 2.0 sites, social bookmarking, and helping people on yahoo answers. My site has also been going through the "google dance" and I just seem to now be surfacing a bit in the search engines again. BUT, overall, I don't feel my marketing has been very effective.

      I'm really not sure what might be the most effective approach to market the site, as this is basically my first site and I've little experience in this field.

      Might you have any suggestions?


      Thanks again for taking the time to reply Jon

    Like the site its well organized and and well decorated. Besides you need to concentrate in the captions and specially on the sentences you have used. They seems to be a bit too long. Try to cut them in short sentences.

      I thought you did a very good job on that site! I really like your header too.
      It is easy to read and I found myself reading most of it even though I have no interest in purchasing because I don't have a 360

      Nice job!

      Mm

      macD,

      Thanks for taking the time to respond. Would you mind elaborating a bit more on the following:

      Did you mean that the captions were also too long as well?

      Thanks for you suggestions with the sentences, I had a feeling they might be a little too long.
