Hey everyone. I have put together my first real mini site design. I was wondering if some of my fellow Warriors would give me some opinions on it. Would like to know if you think i may be missing some images, etc. to make this a complete mini site.

Here's the link

Thanks in advance,
H.

      I will try to tone down the *Bling Bling* on the title because it makes them hard to read.

      The fire in the background is a bit distracting for me. Reader may be distracted from your headline and focus on the flame instead(which is probably not what you will want..).

      Nice graphics is good to admire, but at the end of the day, it is more important to make the product sell.

      It is hard to strike it right the first time. Don't be afraid to tweak it and do what you can to improve it. Good effort!

      Looks amatuerish to me. Plus you spelled things wrong. And you're not the largest PLR site online since you do not in fact yet exist, so I would wait at least a little while to lie in your marketing.

    The design is a little too simple and unprofessional for my liking. The header is also far too big, pushing the headline too far down the page, and the fire background is too overbearing and too big (file size) for the page. The background should be simple otherwise it distracts people from the important message of the page.

    I just ran the page through the Website Optimizer and the total file sizes for the page is over 2MB. That is WAY too big for such simple designs. You need to work on getting the images looking a little neater and the file sizes much smaller.

    Just my honest opinion... don't give up though. We all start somewhere and after a bit of playing around you'll get there.

    Most of all work on readability. The PLR is impossible to read on the smaller grahpics although the letters are really big.

      i personally love the design. it's great. but i think you have to make this page suitable for a widescreen. the images break towards the right side for me. also i think you should optimize your images. example you header image is too big...428KB! holy! man this could hurt you in your SERPs, did you know what, you have to optimize all of them.

      find attached this same image i have reduced to 122KB for you. you could do the rest. i can further reduce this image's size without loss in quality. so do take the time and do the rest and you'll be good to go
      all the best.

    Nice graphics but you should also suppose to focus on text as well for the reason that search engines really loves text more than images.

      It takes way too long to load the site using dial-up.

        I agree with this one 100%.

      Certainly a step in the right direction with the new design.

      What I first noticed about the old one was "burning money" which is not the image you want your prospects to have.

      Listen to the advice of the good folks here and keep at it and you will do well!

    Uggh! - Very generic and non-engaging. Looks like so many home grown proprietary software sites. Nothing about the site draws me in. I looked at it for almost 5 seconds before my eyes focused on anything (and that was the back arrow.- Yikes!

    Sorry friend, there is nothing engaging here. No descriptive header, no value proposition, no specific offering and no attempt at brand identification.

    I left the site after a few seconds, as many will. What were you selling again? See the problem?

      I appreciate your input and will certainly take into consideration making the site more eye grabbing. I do have one thing though, the site is called PLRFireSale.info so if you are really confused on what products I offer then I'm not sure you even browsed the site.

      Thanks again,
      H.

    The new design looks better, that's for sure. Just try to
    spice it up some more.

        PLR is usually capitalised, for good reason, it looks very odd as lower case letters.

        "S
        et yourself apart from the millions of internet marketers..." let this bit is in a rather odd font with a non-dotted letter i. I personally found this rather hard to read.

        In your list of bullet points you cryptically include "No to low cost plr products' - implying you are for expensive PLR?

          Thank you for your reply. I will be capitalizing all PLR's Good call on the hard to read font as well.
          By "No to low cost plr products" I mean we offer no cost to low cost PLR. I do see how that could be confusing though so I really appreciate you pointing this out. I will be changing that

          Thanks Again,
          H.

            Either "no-cost to low-cost" or the much simpler and unambiguous use of the word 'free' would be advisable, heh.
