I'm currently in the process of working up ideas to re-design my website: More Control: UK Automation Distributor & Solutions Provider

While I have managed to increase the overall website traffic month in month out I am still getting a high bounce rate on the site.

I'm open all suggestions / comments / criticisms etc. Any feedback would be most appreciated to work up ideas for future development.

    Hi, below are just my own opinions.
    First, I feel that your website is currently too wordy.
    I would also feel that having reviews/testimonials of your product would be more appealing to your potential buyers/clients.

    To be honest, the design looks out of date.
    You should check some similar websites in your niche.

    If i have to point out some things i don't like, i would say
    - font, don't use the default Times New Roman, use Arial or maybe even embed Open Sans
    - implement your images better, add more style to it
    - as Bervyn said, your conversion would be better if you post some testimonials of your product.

    Not bad, kind of generic looking. Doesn't really build a lot of trust from the consumer.

      I agree it is very dated to be honest. Look at your competition and suss out a more modern design.

        Why not try setting up a new WordPress site, getting a free and good looking template, then moving your content over? With this you can start looking less 'dated' right away.

    Thank all you for the input. In the engineering field about half of the competition websites are probably just as outdated as mine. Whereas the other half have a taken to moving ahead with a more seamless modern design/feel.

    I’ll take on board the testing idea as I’ve got an old spare website which is not active that I can experiment with for a new layout. Does anyone have any suggestions template sites where I can pull ideas from or a good practice check list guide to help improve web conversion?
