Hey guys,

Put yourself in the shoes of a business owner needing a website. Are you interested enough by our page to consider a buy?

    Sorry no I wouldn't buy

    and here's why:

    First your copy -

    "we do one thing well design a great website and makes sure it passes every test"

    "you'll watch rankings improve in the search engines"

    No and no - not judging by your site.

    First off it's flash which is a very poor choice for search engine optimization.

    Second look at your meta data in your source code:
    <head>
    <title>Saskatchewan Website Design : NUClick Web Design</title>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css" />
    <link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    </head>

    There's no meta "description", "robots", "keywords", "author" etc...

    Again bad for seo.

    In your latest news you link to a customers site (Moose Jaw Video Production : Regina Video Production : Eye View Productions) where you've done the same "no optimization whatsoever". You're building invisible websites for customers!


    Just my opinion "not personal"

    Well coming from a customers viewpoint, sure they might be inclined to call. Buy? Dunno. Some customers are getting way more savvy in regards to seo nowadays, and they know how to read at least header code. The site is a nice flash design no bones about that. However, your site does not pass the android/iphone test.

        No, well...not for many of the services listed anyway. In fact, what is, "fully licensed photography?"

        Last time I checked you didn't need a license to shoot a camera. Am I missing something?

        The biggest thing this site seems to be advertising is flash, yet that isn't a service being listed.:confused:

        Thematically, the book doesn't exactly make sense either, at least visually speaking. If you want to go with a boxing feel (like your logo and slogan indicate) then make the book look like a boxing program, maybe a classic looking one. The services could be the undercard and whatever you do best is the main event.

        And then go market yourself to local gyms in your area. It is going to be hard to compete on the world stage as there are thousands and thousands of professional web designers and tens of thousands amateurs. Even if you were to make a second revision based on my suggestions, and everyone else's, your portfolio is what sells you as an artist, and you don't yet have the portfolio to compete globally unless you are very inexpensive.
