    Nice looking site, but aside from the fact that you should get started on adding some powerful and compelling sales copy, you should definitely have an "Opt-in form" somewhere on your page so that you capture your prospect's name and email.

    The reason you do this is so that you don't waste your effort spending time on traffic to send them to a sales page that does NOT convert (a.k.a "generate sales"). Therefore you get there name and email to give them some more tips and advice and THEN hit them with your offer again. By this time you will have gained their trust and respect.

    Just go to aweber and put in the "web form" code into the source code where you edit your website and add in your first follow up email for now. This should be a great start of forming a relationship with your "new" visitor/ potential customer.

    Looks good. I realize it is a draft, so it is still a work-in-progress, but it is not as professional as the rest of the sites at the main site. There are gagged edge on the rounded corners for example and some of the is a bit too blurry.

    @ sonamlama
    You miss the whole point. The site is a draft that sells on the main site and those sites are sold without sales copy, etc.

      Thanks for your thoughts Jeffrey. I understand that you may not have an opt-in form on a sales page, but what I meant was, if the site is NOT converting then, he should test out adding an opt-in form somewhere on the page to capture their name and email in order to be able to offer more value tips/advice and then hit them with his offer.

      In regards to what you said here...

          I guess you are wanting us to judge the graphics only.

          I've worked with Oki on a couple projects and he is really good.

          On this particular website I would ask if he could:

          1. Redo the font on the Micro Workouts logo. It looks really jagged.

          2. Lighten up the background. The navy may look nice and match the website, but for the weight loss niche and this website I would go with either a white, really really light blue, or really really light gray.

          3. Also, unless you are targeting this product to older people which you may be, I don't know about including the older looking guy in header and ebook graphics. If your target market is older people then it's fine, but I think it may turn off younger buyers.

                Yeh, I thought about how the picture might come across.

        UP DATE!!!!!!!

        I had asked for the changes and he set out to do them then I
        did not here back from him for almost a week as it was a holiday where he lives.

        Now I have not heard from him again and I know one other person that has not heard from him as he is not responding to emails.

        This person, a very honest IM'er, had used him for two years and never had this happen with this graphics person before.

        Now I am out $107.00 and can not afford more money for another landing
        page.

        Anyway please be aware so that you do not end up spending money at his site.

        Thanks,

        Jess


        P.S I will gladly remove this if he finishes what I have paid for.

    1st glance...

    Nothing special, but in the era of P90X and it's great landers I'd expect to see some multimedia that highlights the positives results one would get from the workout system.

    You might also want to split test a lighter design that is more landscape oriented.

      Thanks for the feed back.

      What do you mean by 'landscape' design?

      As for multimedia I am not sure how I would do that.

        Jess
        Opposed to the Guru way of making a long lander maybe test a lander that's not as long and more focused on a quick conversion

        So it'll be
        Header
        | VIDEO | Form |
        Footer

        Capture their info to build the list, then pillage the list with the offer or offer the cc page on the confirmation page.

    Hiya Jess,

    The site looks pretty good.

    The background is a little dark. So maybe widen the white space where you'll have the content. Or lighten the background a little.

    The image is of a man in his late fifties or early sisties and a young lady.

    So what is this about? Who is your target market?

    Is it for all ages or will it be for a specific gender or/and age group.

    Your answers to that should help you to determine if that graphic is right for your business model.

    So it might be better for you to get a handle on exactly what your website will be about and who it's aimed at. From that, you can improve on the graphics if necessary. As it stands the graphics are nice. But are they right for what the site is about and for your target market?

    It's very hard to critique more than this as there is no copy and therefore impossible to help you any more. Although I will agree with a couple of posts that said about putting an optin form there. Maybe even a video would be good.

    But like I said, there's not much to go on right now.

    Best of luck with your project Jess.

      You are right, the dark blue is a bit much.

      I am having do some changes including the picture.

    The graphics are nicely done. The colors vibrate optimism and fit the subject of physical exercise very well. Only the pictures aren't as sharp as they should be; they should have a higher resolution. The template looks more like a landing page for a book you're selling, rather than a website.
