Hey guys, I have a small start up business based on the internet. Yesterday i have done a small redesign of the website as one of my client complained that its too difficult to use it. As i created the website its hard for me to see any bad things thats why im referring to you guys. What would you change? Who would you make it easier to use? Any feedback would be appreciated Link: http://avuntia.com PS. I also have many other products but for now im focusing on this one.
Website looks very nice. Everything is clear and easily understandable event tho those with limited computer literacy! I am reading about your products. Might give it a try!
The home page is simple enough...if anything I'd add some text above the phone image to briefly let people know what the site is/does. The footer has been ignored and should be spruced up a bit. But delving further into the site the text is just sort of slapped onto the pages. It's riddled with grammatical and format errors...if you don't feel your site users will care then no bother. But the text could be made more readable by reducing the width of the text area or breaking up into 2 columns and by adding a 2nd color. I didn't register so I can't address anything about that part of the site.
Totally agree with Vagz: the front page is really nice, but the rest of the site lets you down. It makes you look unprofessional and cheap, because all your effort went into a pretty landing page. Edit your text, get the errors out and think of what your potential clients want/need to know - as it is, your content explains what YOU think, not what it all means to them. It's not even clear what you do.
thank you, this is really valuable feedback i really appreciate it. Im working on changing the pages right now
ok so i have done a lot of redesigning and i wanted to edit the first post but i did not let me. So i have dont he redesign and now im looking for feedback. I have made the whole website now responsive and done a lot of work. You can see the difference between the two designs that i have done. i would really appreciate the feedback as it would really help me out Old website design: http://avuntia.com/old/ New website design: http://avuntia.com
Landed, noticed "Adverisers" immediately. Advertisers page: immediately noticed that the main tagline repeats itself and is confusing: "We help you manage your ad budget. AdShell helps you manage your ad budget by spreading your cost." Which is it? You or AdShell? What's AdShell? It's "an Avuntia" not "a Avuntia". "Efficnent" isn't a word. Publishers page: horrible tagline, totally not inspiring. Loads of errors. Looks almost similar to the advertisers page, but not quite. Lots of white space, which I personally like, but both of the main pages could do with a second image near the end, perhaps next to the bullet list. Otherwise they look very empty, even to me. Your figures don't scan: 500,000 daily image impressions but only thousands of unique monthly visitors? (And you'll have to change those as you grow, so you'd be better off without figures.) The contact page suddenly redirects to a subdomain and looks totally different. And so on. It looks real pretty and I love the new design (especially the way the front page looks complete, but there's more if you bother to scroll down), but the site's inconsistent and your text is a complete mess. It's vague, it repeats itself incessantly, there's no clarity (what's AdShell?), it's not at all inspiring or engaging... and so it's discouraging. Basically, it looks like you still put a TON of effort into a really nice design, then just gave up when it came to the content. Hire a writer or find one who'll partner with you for a percentage. But again, I love the new design.
Thank you for your feedback, it really helped out. Thats true i spent a tone of time on the design to look pretty and much less on the content. I really appriciate your honesty. I will make the changes asap. Thank you
I have done everything to get it up to standard. Any other suggestions? Would be really appreciated and im keen to review a website honestly for some help here
It's a lot better now. There are many little niggling errors in the text and it's not very "snappy", but that's a job for a pro copywriter. e.g. Nav button still says "Adverisers". Main splash says "3 SIMPLE, STEPS" - the comma shouldn't be there. Button for advertisers a bit further down says "I'm a advertiser" - that's "an advertiser". And so on. The FAQ is a bit crap as well (and missing a link in the bit about ad sizes), but you can add to that as people ask stuff. There are some things that might bite you in the arse later on - "all countries accepted", for example: how do you propose getting payments to people in Cuba or Syria? Where's your privacy policy? Terms and conditions? The contact form confused me for a moment, as the form boxes are almost invisible. Obviously I haven't seen inside, but the site looks much, much better now. The text just needs polishing, which I'm guessing isn't something you can do yourself, but it serves its purpose for the moment (I've seen a LOT worse, trust me!). Nice job.
I have done the little corrections again. Yes i agree with your faq. I have created a help center with all of the privacy policy and terms link: http://helpcenter.avuntia.com/ I have fixed the contact form and yes your right i do need a pro. Im just a designer/developer in your opinion do you think the site is ready for the general public? as in showing it off? Im trying to establish a brand and i hope this is a trust worthy design I really appreciate your feedback, thankyou
That's always a difficult choice and depends on how YOU see your business. Do you want to go live with an impressive, professional site that people will stand in awe of? Or do you just want to get started with a small, friendly place that people will get to know and watch grow? There are advantages to both, but it really comes down to when you're happy with what you're presenting to the paying public. Given that I'm an editor/writer, I would never go live on a site with bad text. But then my design could be the ugliest piece of crap in the world and I wouldn't know. Put it this way: I've seen people go live with much worse.
Im more into friendly place start up community. thank you, you really helped me out. I really appreciate your feedback. Maybe someday you would like to hope on . We are going to keep growing and expanding
I'm moving away from earning by ads and into other areas, as it happens, but thanks for the invite. Good luck with it!
Really too much stuff on inner pages - a bit confusing Small CSS thing: Index page - Text in the rectangular "I'm an advertiser" is aligned in a different way than in the box "I'm a publisher".
