Hey Warriors,

Calling out for help, need reviews of my company's new site. Still in the early phases, what could I make better?

NUClick Web Design

Thanks!

    Flash. Bleh. There have been studies done that suggest slow page load times negatively impact business. The fact that I have to wait just to get to a 'click here to enter' page, and not the site itself, turns me off personally. I know Flash is cool and all, but there are other ways to highlight your creativity and give users a unique experience without building the entire site with Flash.

    The navigation on the portfolio page is neat, but I can see how some people may be put off by it. It would be nice if either users didn't have to scroll to read the About page, or the reading pane were a bit larger. Other than that, the site is fairly novel.

      Flash isnt good for SEO purposes. That is fact. plus google's algorithm includes page loading time.

    Flash might not be advantageous for SEO purposes but it's cool.

    Some comments:
    - "Our websites will blow you away" is nice if you can back it up in a non-humorous way.
    - But what if I don't like what I see on the next page? I'll be gone from your site.
    - Capture my email or make me call you, give me something of value so I stay interested in your service, give me a call to action.
    - what's your value proposition? Will I sell more with one of your designs? If I'm a business owner I want to know how you help me make more money...
    - Ask yourself, why would I use your services and not your competitors.

    The negatives: "Enter site" sorry I was immediately annoyed with having to wait while the site loaded and then I still wasn't there, also bad for SEO

    On the plus side, nice design

    Loading stop watch make fast or remove it. Impress directly goes on Home page of your site but currently wen i had seen your site I am waiting for 1 minute to open the site which will be bad impression. Remove Enter Button and You must add some Flash template which will be best.

    Ok - as everyone else has said - no loading bar, meaning I honestly thought the site was down - not only until I waited a good amount of time did it display. Flash is over used like this and from this type of design I think 90's and out dated without understanding the importance of SEO etc when designing a site. Obviously you're skilled enough so this isn't something you should be giving off. Try making a HTML version of your site. It will improve loading time, and indeed your client count with any luck!

    The transitions between pages are nice. Only issue was even with a large screen resolution clicking on one of your portfolio items I was needed to scroll to see it fully.

    I like the design, the layout graphics are nice, it's a clean design, it's well distributed, and it can be better, i dont like the enter button, you should make it enter after loading, it's better. The portfolio is nice, but all the images are crowded and can be a distraction. Good Design. But if you have a Designer, why isn't he doing your website?

    Your page looks nice, just the loading time for me very, very long it that definitely is not good as you know! Because all those 6 seconds, in which vistor must decide to leave your page or not, as it basically happens, takes just waiting until it will load ...
