My First Sales Page. Will This Convert?

    Hello,

    This is the first sales page I've ever done.

    My question is, do you think that this draws the visitor in and will convert him or her into a buyer?

    If not, why?

    Also, any other recommendations would be appreciated.

    Thank you,
    Mark

    It looks pretty similar to most of the other product sales pages out there ... there's so many I'm assuming some must be successful, although I've never thought to purchase from a page like that.

    BTW - the shadowing looks a little funny, like each block is being pulled up from the page in the lower right.

    Anita :)

    It looks like any other sales page :(

    Maybe try a different approach? Making a more professional layout/ site design (will gain people's trust! I don't know if a majority of people actually trust sales pages.. I know I just ignore them.

    Good luck with your product:)

    hello.

    some improvement on the graphics, a bigger contact button
    and it would not look like any other sales page.

    good luck

    Nice idea with shadows, however your typography could be improved.

    yes. you might hire professional designer to design your site (i think just for header and footer).

    one more things, you should add testimonials.

    I'd love to hire a pro. Maybe after I make some sales.

    Yeah, as soon as I get some testimonials I'll add them.

    Thanks.

    Hi vbMark!

    Nice sales letter for me. Just had a litle change on your sales pages attract more visitors to buy. My opinion, add the buy button and placed it at the center and last of the sales pages.

    Then, change withmore suitable font. I mean more futuristic.

    That's only my opinion:)

    Good idea about one in the center.

    Yeah, I'm working on a better buy now button. I don't like the one I have now either.

    Thanks!

    Respectable result for the first attempt.

    I tried clicking on the "satisfaction guaranteed" emblem at the bottom, but it's not clickable, you need to give them something to remove their scepticism, if you have a money back guarantee, make a big issue of it, it may be the point that they're looking for.

    Regards, Gary.

    Looks really bad, those 5-foot tall fonts won't bring you buyers. 5 phrases and a download link won't bring you any buyers.

    You may want to take a free design from oswd.org, work on developing a strategy like finding studies showing how bad people fare if they don't know how to communicate, put them on your site (in a decent form, not extra-large fonts) and then maybe you will gain some trust.

    It puts me off, looks like any other sales website just looks like a site that appears in pop ups that wont go away. Try to make the layout more pro.

    A lot of people are saying that the site needs to be more professional looking.

    However, I copied the formatting that is used by some of the top sales pages, made by some of the top copywriters, on the Internet.

    If you give me a link to a site that you consider "professional" that would help.

    Thanks,
    Mark
