Personally I think it look's pretty good! I congratulate you on doing such a good job for your first site.

It looks professional and polished, and i really can't think of much I would change, aside from perhaps some kind of introduction to make it very clear on first glance what the site is designed for (not to mention get some more keywords on your home page)

That's pretty good Brandon. Nice job.

One thing I'd consider doing is adding some of those benefits (the boxes with the ticks) to the top fold of the site.

Maybe even widening the page width so that you can use the header to add some of the benefits.

But I'd measure this against your time. If it's going to take too long, run with what you've got now and start promoting it, then go back and tweak.

Hope that helps

t like the "safety" colors in your site.

It is pretty well laid out. Maybe only a couple of things come to mind righy away. And these are little things.

In the right hand column right below where it says CDL Practice Tests in bold font, just below that where it says: Pass the CDL Class A, B, and C, make these words something else beside blue, becasue they look like they should be a link.

You might also try dropping the sample question down the page a bit and bring the info on the membership and prices up.

Overall, nice, tight and easy to navigate. Nice looking site.

Working with yellow and black forced me to use blue for some headings. Those headings could be mistaken for links. I might use red.

Try just using black and make them bold or H3.

Your red button is one of the best features on your page because it is so different and it stands right out.

Congratulations, I believe you are off to a Great Start !!

Site was very focused, well thought out and I think the
safety yellow fits very well.

No problems on the flash either.

Brandon, nice job. Now you just need to run some targeted traffic through it to get the votes that actually count...

Wouldn't that be considered "textual harassment"?

Sorry, I couldn't help myself...

That is really good... Usually newcomer made test sites before making real sites, and you create real site with amember membership installed.

Pretty good....

Very nice site, with good use of colors, and eye-catching graphics and header. One thing I'd suggest adding though is an opt-in form somewhere above the fold.

Have you started sending some traffic to it, and if so, how has it been converting?

1.5% converts without any opts in. I just try to do a simple sell.
