Need Some Good Criticism for new Site

8 replies
Hey guys was curious if you could pick apart my site for me and help come up with some ideas to make it better before it launches. Right now it is not complete just working on the design aspect.

Also if you click on the testimonials does anyone know how to make these not auotplay?

    This is what I am experiencing.

    1. I'm not home now so my connection may not be as fast but both of your pages are loading reallllly slowly. You are going to lose people who want instant and fast.

    2. You don't need such a long statement about privacy and spam at the bottom of your optin box, especially for people in the MMO niche. It needs to be there - but the type and amount is so large/long that it draws the eye below the optin box and away from the headline (they are almost the same size). Now I'm thinking more about spam and clicking away.

    3. The background pic is supposed to make me feel like I could be rich but the file size must be huge - taking too long to load on this page.

    4. Headline on the optin is weak. Give the reader a real reason to optin: these 8 free video will show you exactly how to ..... you will be able to .... after watching these videos.

    5. The training videos page loads slowly too but I think it's also because of what is on the page and not just the background image.

    6. Where do you have the videos loaded? I didn't play them to the end - depending upon how you have them set up there is a way to stop the auto play. You might want to keep the autoplay on the first one?

    7. Not sure if it's a function of all four playing at once but the right side of the screen flickered for minutes before it stopped.

    8. I loaded the testimonial page a second and third time and the first and fourth were the only ones that auto play for me.

    Hope that gives you some help!

    Squeezepage:

    I agree with Gail . The background takes too much time to load. I also find it very distracting on the squeezepage.

    Member Area : there many more professional wordpress theme around you could use. Check out themeforest

      I agree the background definately needs to to go on the main site.

      A very light grey or blue would work nicely I think.

    I noticed that you have only videos, no text. Google is not going to have much to index on your site (and Google does not know what is inside the videos). How about a transcript/article or at least an explanation of what is in each video?

    Please keep this in mind, quite a few people are like me: I can speed-read but I cannot speed-listen! (in other words, I practically never click on any videos).

      Text will be coming, just wanted to see how the design was before I moved on to the next step

    Lose the nice background. I clicked on and thought you'd be pitching a tropical vacation or something. Despite the conventional wisdom, there are MANY people who won't bother at all with just video. Get some PDFs or you're going to be leaving a lot of potential subscribers behind. If I were you I'd also get that spam disclaimer out of your box. It's not helping and it's fairly irrelevant. Good luck.
