New And Improved Site

7 replies
hey guys I recently upgraded my site with a new design and everything.

I would love some feedback on the new look.

Good, bad, indifferent, I don't care I'll take it all.

    Looks great Ace!

    Nice layout, nice graphics.

    I assume you'll eventually have lots of things for people to see so a search facility would be a good idea?

      I was thinking of doing lots of items at first but in the end I think featuring only one item at a time (ala woot.com) was the best way to go. That way I can track which items sell better than others and tweak as I go.

    I think it looks pretty good. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of the card background, I prefer more "sleek" designs. Other than that I think everything looks great. I also love the site idea, very nice!

    Nice site. Simple 3 step sequence makes it easy to understand.

      Hi. I like your site. It's clean but not too stark. I especially like the large font site title. Okay, I have some ideas but I really don't want you to take offense. Because, really I only want to help....so don't shot the messenger, ok?

      In my opinion, I would change the following:
      1. All writing is somewhat small. Still readable but I like a larger font, personally. I think the smaller the writing the easier it is for people to look away. Even though it's readable it's still forcing them to read every word. It just seems like a chore. This can seem less like work if you just up the font size a little.
      2. I would change your first paragraph's sentences order to start with the following:
        it's hard to figure out what's a good deal and what isn't.
        This captures their attention asap and draws them in to reading the rest of what you have to say.
      3. On your second paragraph I would change a few things up. I would not start with the word basically. I am having a hard time putting into words why I wouldn't but here goes... rewrite this sentence without the word "basically" and now, to me anyway, it sounds more powerful / authoritative. So, where you have:
        Basically we have a philosophy, and that is a discount does not a deal make
        I would write: "We have a philosophy at Ace Of Saves." ...and I would continue with ... "A discount does not make a great deal. A good deal is a combination of many factors including the price, quality, selection, host website, and consumer reviews. We find those great deals for you. That way you know the deal you are getting is truly a great deal." ...So the paragraph now reads:
      We have a philosophy at Ace Of Saves. A discount does not make a great deal. A combination of many factors including the price, quality, selection, host website, and consumer reviews are what goes into making a great deal. We, at Ace of Saves, find those great deals for you. That way you know the deal you are getting is truly a great deal.
      I guess I would write it this way because, to me, it now sounds less like you are explaining things to me and more like you are pointing out all the benefits I'm going to get by using your service. Also, by getting your site name in there again you are reminding the visitor of who you are (branding). That way even if they don't bite on the first go you have made them re-read your site name so it sticks in their heads and therefore they will remember you when they need your service. Just a little mind trick.

      That's my two cents. I hope you don't take offense to my ideas. I really think you have a great site and that with just little re-write and font increase you could make it better.

        There is no such thing as offense when it comes to education. I will take all the advice I can get.

    I agree. take this notes to your attention. I think you need to add some content (unique content in this case) and add a contact page
