Hi, I have hosted a new site where I an some other freelancers offer basic Web Design, development and marketing services. Please review it and point out anything that you find wrong. http://acheapwebdesign.com I was reluctant to showcase it here for review, as wherever I have show-cased my site I have literally come under fire. People say it is a stupid design which is unlikely to attract any customers, while some criticize the unrealistically low prices. Some even laugh at the selection of Moneybookers as the payment method. There is no other method available to me, that is the only choice.
Well, if you ask for a review you have to be open to receive the reviewers opinions, whatever they are. We all know that opinions are free anyway, don't we? Anyways, my small contribution is: 1) The word CHEAP sounds like that, CHEAP. And cheap sounds like low quality, sub standard, unworthwhile, amateurish. 2) Your design is unattractive, and if you are selling design I think that you need to have a very attractive design. Now, if you think that in such a competitive market you can still attract clients thanks to your low prices, congratulations, but I really doubt it.
your web site design is not modern. logo is funny bad. why do you have ads ? will you sell service or ad space?
i have got one thing to say to you. which is not bad. you should change that background and logo. Stick to keeping it simple nice colour. Honest Feedback
I saw it coming I used the word cheap because I am offering only basic services, like HTML based and Drupal based websites. On my main page I emphasize on Simple Website Designs. Also many high quality and expensive services are using the word cheap in their name, so why shouldn't I?
I am still experimenting on logo, a few hours ago it was a different one. Right now, after your comments, its a little better (very little). I put ads as I want to recover some amount I spend on advertising. Thanks. You should have said something bad, why be so different from everyone else? Before this design, people have been advising on making it more design-intensive, am I have been following their advice. My site was more simple before. I feel like giving up soon Can someone here give me an advice on logo, maybe a sample of how it should look like?
I have made some improvements, it looks much better. One of my problem is, it is based on Drupal so it is very difficult to modify. Sometimes, no matter what I change in CSS file, the outlook remains the same. That's a big problem with Drupal.
Drupal is fully modifiable, but of course not easy to do until one learns. Still the word cheap sounds CHEAP. Affordable sounds better, for example.
Why can't you just forget that one word Were you expecting from me to change the domain name? I can't do it at this stage. Drupal may be very modifiable, but what I meant was it was very difficult as compared to other CMS systems. Most other CMS systems provide maximum GUI support to change the layout. In Drupal, you have to dig each and every element from the CSS files to make any changes, sometimes at multiple places for a single element.
Nice logo, nice banner, and some nice templates as well! You may want to change the text in the footer to be readable. Also i would recommend to create a sitemap Best of luck with the site! Kind Regards
