Would like feedback on my site...

Well it looks ok but not really modern or web 2.0ish to be honest. The black background is also a little harsh, making it look a little like a warez site.

check your site -

Pros
- cool color scheme - smart that you have the text over white {sort of Halloween like though - doesn't screem "MAKE MONEY"}
- nice concept - like the fire effect but it's a little too much on every main page header
- I like the different types of products you have for sale - you may want to provide more content to explain the products.


Cons
- the logo is too hard to read - i would either lighten it up or change
- too many different sizes of text on the different pages.

Thanks, those were some of the things I was taking into consideration for the revamp of the site. I appreciate your comments.

I look forward to getting more feedback and I will post here after I have made changes to see what everyone thinks.

Thanks again.

I really like the orange and white mix of colors, but the black and the flames...

I know flames are REALLY hard to work with, there could be a lot more potential, and I may be able to help with those. (PM if interested)

The black brings down the whole design. Maybe a lighter orange. Not too light, because then it distracts your eyes from the site.
Maybe, if you used the light orange background, you could use that same color to replace the white in your main content background too. As long as you leave the wrapping box around it.

The DHTML is nice for the links, but you have everything else in a small box, why is the navigation hanging out free? They kind of look like they're just sitting there and just run off the page.

In my opinion, the amount of information that's on the front page is just fine for me. I don't like reading websites that you have to continue scrolling down just to read the next paragraph.

Maybe you could add some creative linebreaks in there too? Between the larger bits of information. I.E., right after you have "So, that's enough about me..." you can add a skinny black linebreak that has wads of cash here and there, or even just one wad of cash directly in the middle.

Your Twitter link also needs to be noticed! I almost didn't see it! Maybe a call-to-action button. I can help with that too. (again, PM if interested)

There's my 2 cents. I don't mean to offend or anything, just direct criticism to help you out some.

Hi Amanda,

Here's my take, and forgive my rather sweeping suggestions. I'm thinking you can take well-intentioned feedback.

The black background is hard on the eyes. Makes me want to hit the back button.

I'd go for a clearer headline + subhead combo up top. Consider using a sans-serif font.

Maybe something like...


That's just off the top of my head using the old 'Who else wants...' formula. I'm sure you can come up with something that works better or maybe some other hook to use.

And then of course there's the text.

To be honest, I'd completely re-write it. It doesn't grab me and make me desperate to either keep reading or click an link (or click 'Buy Now!' or whatever), which is what good copy should do.

Make crazy-sounding but verifiable claims about what you're going to do for the folks. Tell your succinct success story. Back up your claims with proof of your own success. Testimonial for somebody else who bought from you and had success, with a pic of them if possible, in a yellow filled text box (or perhaps in a side-bar).

And have you thought about bundling your offers into a package and selling them together via a long-form sales page (i.e. a single page site, not counting landing, squeeze and shopping cart pages?) rather than using the more traditional site structure you're using now?

I expect that might bring in some big conversion bumps with people buying multiple products if you structure the offer right.

And put something at the bottom of the copy to grab people who just scroll down to read the bottom line. A quick summary , then tell them what you want them to do.

And of course, split-test to see what does what over what.

I hope that's helpful, Amanda!

Be Well,

Michael Perez

thanks again to everyone who has commented. I have made some adjustments, though it is not done yet.

curious to see what you guys may think of the new adjustments.

To be perfectly honest I did not like your site. I don't like the background colors or the orange. Not much personality. It looks old. Also, even if I wanted to enter my info asking for the first name is enough. Remember, some people are not comfortable giving you their full names. They want a relationship before they give you all their info and your site builds no relationship.

ok, going in a different direction for this new site. I am setting it up as a blog. Let me know what you think.

Didn't load for me.. did you take it down?

I just checked the link and it seems to be working .... let me know if you have any other problems. Thanks

I can get index1 & 2.. but not 3

the website is - Amanda's Blog

I was trying the wrong link hehehe

I like the template etc. but the background is way too dark for me. Basically, I like greys but the BG could be improved, maybe experiment with some lighter BGs.

not loading despite removing the spaces in the provided url

are you getting the hint here? black backgrounds are just a no no for marketing.
they work just fine for clan sites, gamer sites, warez sites etc.
sites that are all black are just not professional.
They are very hard to read, even with white text, especially for those of us that are
older.
You will lose a lot of prospective customers instantly.

luck,
