I need you honest feedback!!!!

OK, a few things.

1. The opt in form has no margin (white space around the text) so that is making it very difficult to read.

2. Your bullets... don't have bullets!

3. Finally, this is confusing and unnecessary:

Please enter your first name and a valid email address that will become your password. Then all you have to do is click on the button that says "Send Me The Free Guide" and you will be allowed to enter for free. (When you decide to return, please use the same Password. Note that all information that you enter is kept 100% confidential and is never released or sold to anyone.)

Just put the privacy policy below the opt-in and leave it at that.

Hope that helps,
Alan

I'm not an experienced IM... but I was a graphic designer. You do need to cut down the "text" on the opt-in" form and definitely increase the margins.

Thanks guys. Really appreciate the feedback.

When I read the title "Enlightenment Dating" I was expecting to see a more spiritual/new age site. Perhaps do research on the title - Enlightenment probably doesn't appeal to all those guys out there who want to get laid - I'm sure they'd respond better to a raunchier site name.

Great feedback! Keep it coming!

I had a look at the site and thought W T F!!!

The site title has nothing to do with the site contents
The colour combination is the most depressing you could have chosen - black and white would have been better!
The English is very bad and the reader has to spend time working out what you are trying to say.
You have a shopping cart but - errr - where are the products? If you had a 'products' button on the page there would be a slight chance that someone would click on it.
The image is a bit off putting - is she waiting for her date to bring a fresh drink from the bar?
The opt in drop down is far too big and there is no clear indication of what benefits 'opting in' will bring you.
Like, I imagine, the majority of people who found your site, I didn't even bother looking at any other pages - there was no incentive nor reason to because the home page left me wanting to leave.

If you had well written, compelling copy, many of the negatives would be reduced in their effect as they would if you had an eye-catching and significant sub-header. Something as simple as "How to date more women" would be an improvement.

Finally, a three column WP theme would be much more flexible than the one you have chosen and try not to have complete posts on your home page. Give an extract and link to the full post and use the home page to get the visitor interested in whatever it is you are trying to do without also giving him the impression that the only way you are prepared to help him is by selling him something.

Going back to ensure I had not been too honest, I discovered that you have a rotating header graphic. I looked at three and was not convinced that they represented any value to the visitor.

I could not get to the site.. the OPT In form prevented me! Just write about how it works for guys to make it with the ladies. Don't go for a "clickbank" site, just make it look "real".

1. No formatting in your paragraphs making it hard to read.

2. Too many other things to click on.

3. I really don't have an idea where you want me to look.

your opt-in form is a pop-up...Don't!

I agree about the grey background. Its not pleasing to the eye. Thanks!

I couldnt get to read your site as the optin box wouldnt let me. I couldnt close it as the close button was off the page margin. This obviously made me click back pretty quickly. I would take that off if I were you because I bet there has been a few visitors that had the same experience as me and clicked back before even reading anything!

It looks a over promotional page with bit and bobs here and there, try to make your site more personal, make it friendly, you don't want people to think Nah! its another scammy or spammy site, you have to make the site look as if whats in it for me as well as just giving the personal message, you have to make first stand out to the people as if you were them, make them feel like where you are, I know what im saying sounds strange but trust me it works and pop up box, it should not come out too early because the people won't even have a chance to even to read on whats its saying on your site but saying tha tnot bad for the start, just for future reference take some of my advice.

Your website looks great to me! The opt in box takes away from the web page a bit maybe having it pop up before someone leaves would let the customer see the webpage a bit more. But I have not seen your old one. This looks very nice to me and not cookie cutter at all.

Alright let me be the first to break your heart.

Color scheme is way off, go for red/burgundy.

Font is terrible.

The text needs more white space. It's too jumbled up.

The server you have the site on is very slow. The maximum a user is going to wait is 2-3 seconds per page load.

I'd also switch the columns around. Content looks better on the right.

Create a logo with a symbol so you can brand your website.

Oh and change your favicon.


You're welcome.

The site has a lot of faults as mentioned above - however, you can see that it has the potential to be great if that makes sense. If this makes sense, I can tell that you have a marketing brain, you just didn't quite hit the spot you were looking for.

However, with some alterations, that site has the potential to convert.

that initial popup has got to go, you are using to many different fonts for the site, stick with one, and the colors your using is to sad, people like happy colors, go to other dating sites to see what they have done. good luck

The title of this post, as well as the first line in the text both say "I need YOU" instead of "I need your"...just an observation.
