What you guys think about my new concept website and how to improve?

The red print looks 'spammy' - but more than that I have no idea what the point is. Looks like a more convoluted version of the same old "win an iphone or gift certificate"combined with those "get a deal" sites. Both are businesses often considered 'scammy'.

Even after reading the "how it works" - I have no idea what you are doing. You say "no purchase necessary" but then in your instructions you say

select products
checkout by paying

You've explained more about the process in this thread than on the site. They are buying 'vouchers' on the chance of being the 1 in 50 who will get a cheap price? How is this different from the other 'deal sites'?

Are you saying people buy vouchers and then 1 in 50 win the product? If so, isn't that like a lottery...is it legal? I'd be surprised if Paypal allowed these payments for long.

I'm surprised that 10% of visitors sign up - do they buy? I doubt it. I think you have an idea that isn't quite put together yet.

Another thing that sets us apart from other deal or scammy site is that we have a clear and sustainable business model. Where we are take a cut from the contributions. Unlike other site where they just claim to be free, it could be but you will never know when they select a winner or who may they be. There are no free lunch in this world and any business claim to be free is scammy because it is just not sustainable or many take too long to even see any returns. Business make you watch ads and stuff to get free things, but I don't think they really get much for a user, it could take up to millions of user to even have some return on the users. We didn't claim to give away free lunch, we just giving people a stage and an alternative at there wants and our model is pretty straightforward or may I didn't make it straightforward enough in my site, but most people wont even read or care.

Some harsh critiques if you don't mind hearing them out:

- So much of your real estate in the top fold is wasted on pointless whitespace. You need to make the top fold a lot more compact. When I arrive at your website, I need to know exactly what your website is all about. Right now, it takes you a wall of text in this post to describe it. Use the banner ad perhaps to help describe what and who your site is for.

- Do you really need two menubars? One of them just has Login/Register/Search Icon - wasted space is wasted opportunity for conversion.

- The banners are crappy, low quality, take too much space, and really don't entice me to do anything other than close the tab. Pick up some stock pics and keep the text simple. Avoid the 90s glow, shadow or flaming shit effects.

- Don't hijack my scroll. I use my laptop 12 hours a day and I'm used to it's natural scroll, your website hijacking my scroll behavior simply disrupts my user experience and benefits you in exactly zero ways.

- Why am I seeing a My Account page when I'm not logged in?

- Why are Shop categories being shown in the Contact page?

- The theme of the website is very inconsistent - for instance, some buttons are red, some blue and some whiteish

- Do a little reading on what constitutes good, readable typography. The How It Works page for instance is painful to read. The line height is too small (lines too close to each other) - why do you even have red text? Unless you want to show users' an error, you shouldn't be using red text and even then you probably should not. The distance between the paragraphs is inconsistent? The change from left-aligned text to center-aligned text is jarring. The footer on the How It Works page is also buggy.

- I click on links under 'Others' and I get a Product not available message

- Do you really need a forum right now? I see an empty forum and I'm immediately thinking no one visits here - why should I buy anything from them?

- Typo in registration page (Rerred by - guess that should be Referred by)

- Also in registration page, you're using an old school captcha, very easily broken by modern OCRs. Using google's recaptcha 2 if you really wish to avoid bot registrations.

- Why do you need 3 separate menu items for $1, $5, $10 vouches? What if you decide to have 3 more vouchers? Why not just a single Vouchers menu that drops down to the different dollar values?


You seriously need to go through your website with a fine comb and pick up these issues. These are very very basic issues, I haven't even looked into various validation, performance, SEO, security and other issues.

Also, why do you not have an HTTPS page? There really is no excuse for not having it these days. You can pick up a free cert from LetsEncrypt (though it does requires some system admin knowledge).

And how are you accepting payments with Authorize.net? Don't even think about reading the credit cards yourself and processing payment. You need to understand PCI DSS compliance fully before you even think about doing that. Only use Authorize.net's Accept.js integration:
https://developer.authorize.net/api/.../acceptjs.html

No. It depends on how law enforcement sees it. There are legal differences between a sweepstakes and a lottery so assume (?) you have professional legal advice that is guiding you on that.

Yikes! You should at least put some spaces on both sides of the page. It looks unprofessionally done. And yeah, honestly, it looks like a scam. Have you look on other sites? If not, then I suggest you start looking now so you can have a perfect view of how a site should look like.

When the site loaded, I could almost say: "Ugh, it's one of those kinds of adverts again". There's a lot of work that can be done with it and this is just the general look of the webpage. A great help would be to look at how other sites do their layout. I understand that there is a need to be unique and different from your competitors but it is also equally important to know the basics of what a good webpage layout is.

I do recommend that you shift from putting in all the functionality that you can think of right now on your site and change it into an easy user interface. Get an expert on web designing and discuss what it is you want to accomplish. Truthfully, just the homepage alone is suffocating and not user friendly

It's your site. Is 'no purchase necessary' true? My impression was you had to buy a 'chance' or 'chances' to 'win'....is that wrong? Can I send in an 'entry form' and win on your site without buying or paying for anything?

When you have partners involved it may be 'majority rules' - but at least if the site doesn't catch on you have some suggestions for things you might change.

The concept seems a bit confusing and you need to get it so that someone landing on your site accidentally or whatever gets your concept in 2 to 3 sentences if possible. Confusing concepts are very tough because people have very short attention spans so you have to do your best to simplify or get people interested enough from a quick point to want to read more.
From a aesthetics perspective starting at the top. Get rid of the red and go dark with white lettering. The red with light purple Register | Login links is blinding and hard to read.
Then your menu is too long. instead of $1 VOUCHER $2 VOUCHER etc. Perhaps make one menu called Voucher with drop downs.
Move the Shopping cart to the right of search, Move Register | Login left and make the search input field visible at all times and embedded in the same top bar. I would make the top bar taller and place the logo within it as well similar to the top of this warrior page and have the banner connected beneath without any space or very little.
Next the banner is moving too fast to read for many, contains too much text, the graphics are all over the place, do no complement each other, and the the font and images is pixelated. You'd be better off going with free stock photography of real people holding gadgets similar to the prizes with plain white text making quick points to get users interested like. "Would you like a Free Iphone 7?", "Want to win a $50 Amazon gift card?" One liners that peek interest with a click here call to action, that links to right to the details / email registration.
Check out this site fashionnova.com (not mine). It has a great slider, so you get the point of slider speed, look and call to action concept I'm talking about.
The beveling, embossing, and extreme drop shadows are what we were doing 20 years ago while having fun with Photoshop features, simplify and make it clean. A quick tip on your 4th slider image with the curved arrow is to make the arrow in PowerPoint right click and export it as as a .png or whatever so that your arrow will have smooth curves, right now it's very choppy and drawing them in illustrator can be hard for the uninitiated. : )
Next the red text.
Sign Up > Select wanted product > Checkout > Pull winner > Tracking code (Details) is positioned in a odd place and very confusing.
Looks like you did a good job on the product row only critique there would to go with 4 larger images if possible instead of 6, keep them steady remove the frames and go with more rows. But if you move the slider to be flushed top you can show all 12.
Or have 3 to 4 sliders that relate to the prizes. Tech, Fashion, Cleaning gadget, health gadgets with call to actions that try to steer the user to a category they are interested in and have the site scroll down to a row or load a page with the prizes they are interested in based on the slider call to action clicked. That slider and everything else has to be though of as tools used to quickly inform while steering the user.
Hope that helps. take care.

That is the scammiest looking site I have seen in some time. Even if it is not a scam it looks like one and most web surfers would click away in an instant fearing virus attack.

As the other poster stated, it is totally unclear what is going on at the site.

Are you selling goods, vouchers, points, a raffle?????? after 10 minutes reading the site I am still none the wiser.

But thanks for the laugh.

Best regards, Kathleen

More space on the sides of the page, more prominent buttons to scroll through these large slides. You probably do not want to rebuild the entire page, so I do not know. It's simple, that's good.
