I am testing the look and feel of this site. Is there anything on the page that would stop you from signing onto my list or using my services?

Also what would make you want to join the list?

The page is at Ghostwriting-king - Ghostwriting & SEOServices

      Hi Broyde,

      Overall good job...great job with you seo. May want to separate the words 'SEO' and 'Services' in your title tag as to optimize the title more...very low search volume on SEOServices.

      Also, may want to consider moving your profile pic to your about page and telling more about yourself and your background...or at least include the pic in your header instead.

      If you are branding yourself as the 'ghostwriting king' (cool brand btw) I would work the theme concept around that. Not sure I get the whole beach thing, maybe a picture of a palace would suit best.

      Also the text is very bold and in your face, may want to tone it down just a bit...try a 14 or 16px size and see how that works.

      Just my two cents

      Good luck!

    Your website looks good but, your picture looks almost like a "mug shot". It detracts from the friendliness of the website. Try another picture and see if that helps. Maybe of you working at your desk or a family photo.

    BEST!

      Hi Broyde.

      Just a couple of suggestions:

      First, I would make the opt-in box more prominent. I had to consciously look for it. It kind of blends in in the corner.

      I don't really get the beach scene or the subtitle.

      I would fix the grammatical error in your first bullet point. "All of my work are originals" should read "All of my work is original."

      I, also, would select a different picture.

      Hope this helps.

      First, you need to take a page from marketing 101 and understand who you are marketing to.

      You are offering your writing services to people who need literary work.

      Having said that, the last thing they want to see is pictures. Yours, Kim Kardashian, Halle Berry, Jessica White, Vienna Girardi, etc.

      Therefore, I would rethink my strategy of posting pictures as part of your layout.

      Secondly, you need to allow your content to sell your visitors at every turn. (Not a picture or pictures)

      Some other issues...

      (a). If you are not a copywriter, hire a copywriter to write your copy

      (b). Replace all of the "Naked Links" on your site with keyword rich contextual anchored text.

      (c). Take a look at some of your competitors site's for ideas.
      (d). Your current layout needs to be revamped as it doesn't have a professional look or feel to it. Your navigation is on the upper right had corner? For your type of service, the navigation needs to be on the left hand side.

      (e). Make a contact page and remove the email addresses.

      (f). I would rethink the color scheme; remember your target market? They are trying to find an author not graphic artist or designer.

      (g). Unbold your text and use a more palatable font such as Verdana 10.

    Hi,

    Just a little remark: You should make a form based contact page rather than publishing your actual email address.

    Also, I think the header image is not relevant to the site subject.

    Hi Broyde,

    For me the site does nothing. I see it like an unsuccessful attempt to glue together 3 different sites: banner + right side navigation + body.

    I would never sign up for that. I know I'm harsh but somebody needs to tell it like it is.

    I would do a complete makeover. I would recommend going with wordpress. You can find beautiful themes in the free section of wordpress.org. Easy to use, does not cost you anything and it screams professionalism.

    alexbbbh,
