    You should have a nice video done of "how this site works"

    other than that, it's a really nice looking site, I wish you luck, sure there's lots you could do depending on the direction you wanted to move in but you haven't really thrown any of your own ideas into the pot so I'll reserve further judgement.

    Try to work on social, you will get good response. Those businesses or websites who are related to fitness get good response from social media sites, especially from facebook. You need to upload some videos related to weight loss tips etc.

    Sorry to say it needs ALOT of work. Why every one is giving glowing reviews. Well, to get their signatures viewed.

    You need to speed it up. PageSpeed has it at 74, not terrible, but could be better.

    Honestly it doesn't make a lot of sense. "Our Number One Weight Loss Site". Huh? Maybe it should be "Your Number One Weight Loss Site"? Although, why is is number one? Compared to?

    You need to sell your site, not tell people how it works. You need to grab their attention and tell them why they need to stay on and use your website. How it works is NOT going to do that. Give them many reasons why they need to be on your site, compelling reasons, hit their pain points, offer solutions, ect.

    The copy reads like features when it should stress benefits. You need to tell your visitors right off the bat, how your site will help them or solve their weight loss problems.

    What's in it for your visitors? Don't know.

    "Sign up now" Why should I? No compelling reason why. Weekly updates tells them nothing and is not a good reason to sign up.

    Text needs formatting badly, there are MANY grammar errors. Many spelling errors.

    Best advice is to check out other popular weight loss sites, products and see how they sell.

    The more information you ask for in your sign up form, the lower your conversions will be. Maybe you need all that information, and that's fine, just saying you'll have less sign ups. Just mentioning "spam" in a sign up form has actually proven to LOWER conversions. You need more than "sign Up" for the submit button.

    Sorry to be negative, but I would hope you'd rather know the truth than have your ego stroked.

  • The design of the site is strong, but you need to think about improving the ways of getting people to sign up. The only carrot I can see is way below the fold in the form of a free ebook. Rather than emailing updates you should re-cast these as motivational weight loss tips.

    Is the ebook any good? I.E. does it go beyond "stop eating chocolate" and "burn more calories than you consume"?

    I like the overall feel to the site (Bold Font Headings, Colors). If your looking to get sign ups, I would probably move the form above the fold on the homepage. A few more things,

    The "Sign Up Now" button - When rolled over changes to the same blue as the background
    The top facebook icon - doesn't link anywhere

    If this is your first time building a site, this is great. Remember when building the site, there is a lot of trail and error, and it will never be "Perfect", go with it and make changes along the way when needed.

    i checked your website and i find it quite a old trend.

    * Color scheme is not good.
    * Social icons are too big.
    * Navigation is not well aliened.
    * Slider is too small ( Big and full width sliders are in nowadays)
