My website desperately needs a proper design

    I'm really bad at web design as you'll soon see from my website. I sell an eBay auction sniper software in basic and standard editions as well as have an online version of it with ongoing usage fees. The software I started over 5 years ago but the online version was finished just last year.

    Since the online version is more profitable to me I want a main page that promotes it as the main product, but also want the 2 software editions also shown on the main page as secondary products. I will also have to add in my own ASP code into the design and currently only know basic HTML and get lost when it starts having those CSS things, so if they must be used I'll need to understand the coding so that I can properly add my ASP code into it.

    And the award for most atrocious looking website ever goes to... me:

    Thanks for anyone who can get me a totally new and professional design. I don't have an enormous budget but am willing to pay up to a few hundred if I can work with you and approve the work before paying the complete amount.

    The only thing I see really bad about your site is the flashing counter.

    Move the counter to the bottom of the page and turn off the flash.

    That will help a lot.

    The other thing that turns me off (personal preference) is the changing image of the product for sale. No one really cares about seeing all aspects of it. I would just take another picture of the front of it closed and use that.

    I am sure others can see lots of other things needing fixing, but other than the two I noted, nothing else pops out to me.

    TBH your site content is fine but yes it just needs a little bit of rejigging with colours and those flash images coupled with the colors would probably turn people away.

    From an SEO perspective you seem to be lacking H1 and H2 tags and any clear sort of visualization for the eye to follow, it just need a little updating and shouldn't cost you a lot to do.

    I like your thoughts. Your website needs redesign. Looking is not impressive. You can hire reliable designers through freelancer. They are very efficient and having good reviews. Even I fulfill all my requirements through freelancer or Guru. My personal opinion you should try on them.
