    Hi, I have a new website aimed at getting everyone to reuse, reduce and recycle more. Im getting some traffic but very few people joining up and I need honest opinions as what do you think about:

    1) design, logo, typography
    2) content
    3) usability / user experience
    4) reasons why people are not joining

    http://www.cyro.co.uk
    Your honest comments are very valuable for me, please rate!

    Mike :)

    Hi,

    I'm not a huge fan of the colors you are using, but I guess they are relevant for site in this niche market.
    Otherwise the concept seems interesting, I would definitely like to try out your services in the future :) It seems clear and easy-to-use. Not too much junk information that usually mislead and lose the visitors during the browsing.

    I like your site and I like the colors. The colors are very appropriate for the "Go Green". Your site is to the point and isn't loaded down with useless information. Good job.

    Thank you for your comments MarketerINC I even recycled the domain name. :)

    Guisbar, I have to agree with you partly over the colours as I have never been a big fan of the colour green, but like you say it's relevant for it's niche market. I don't intend to ever mislead anyone with junk info and I want to keep banners / advertising to a bare minimum which I think is better for both the readers and sponsors.

    Please feel free to join us and use the website it's totally free to join and use all of the sites services.

    Mike :)

    Great site, with wonderful content.

    I'm just not so into the color scheme/template. It works, but just seems to agitate my eyes a little. Maybe take the tone down a little on the colors, or add in a slightly different background color, like maybe an off-white to a sand colored?

    Just an idea, love the site tho!

    fruzzlies, xgregx Thanks for the completents guys.

    lee07smith noted: green is not my favorite colour to be honest, we did try an off white #FFFFFE and a few more besides the internal pages do have a pale green gradient though.

    netdriver788 thanks for the complements and I'm working on making the logo a link done asap.

    AcePublisher and networklogin thanks for the complements guys.

    Thank you to all of you for taking the time to review the website and for your comments all have been taken on board.

    Anyone that loves the idea of getting more people recycling and would like to genuienly help spread the word by giving Cyro an oragnic mention or a link on their blogs / website for:
    Dont throw it! Cyro it http://www.cyro.co.uk
    Please PM me where and I'll add you a permanent link on my PR2 directory back for yours free as a thank you.

    Mike :)

    I really like your website. Just one question, why don't you use any stockphotos in the "Go Green" section rather than saying that no preview is available. Makes the articles more atttractive to read.

    I think you could improve your design. but content and the business model is very inovative. I have a question ¿where I could sell my electronic waste?
