Hi everyone. Please review my site that sells blogs. http://blogsshop.net/ It would be appreciated very much. Thanks.
Design looks pretty good. A contact button on the top bar would be nice. Some testimonials would be nice. Also find that on any sites where I'm paying some x > 20 amount of money I like to see verifications and stuff. McAfree Secure, Paypal, Authorize.net, stuff like that. Especially paypal, as lots of people use Paypal and it's mostly safe for both sides of the party.
Thanks VOnline, There is a contact service at the bottom right hand side of site. It is always visible. Testimonials would be nice but I would only put up real ones from buyers. New site so no buyers yet. The payment processor is Paypal but i guess no-one would no until they get to checkout. So the first thing i might do is put that on each product page so potential buyers know PayPal is the payment processor. Thanks Again.
Here is my impression: The webdesign is decent, although it looks like a standard template website. The problem I can see is with the product: 1. All the templates are just slight variations of the one same template (variation: top photo and the colour of the two background stripes - that's all). That is wrong. Obviously the same template doesn't suit fields as diverse as 'Insurance', 'Pet', 'E-commerce', 'Yoga', 'Education' e.t.c. And they are lined up side by side so it is very obvious that it is the same template. That immediately turned me off the blog. 2. Although above templates all look precisely the same, the price varies from $19.99 to $99.99. That seems silly. 3. The benefits you mention don't relate to your templates in particular but are general benefits of using a template blog vs. designing a blog (which few people do anyway). For example: is not a real selling point, because: There is a great variety of stylish FREE blog templates available from reputable service providers on the Internet. For example Wordpress or Blogger. Wordpress: browse through random blogs, notice the template name in the footer, and select any template for your own blog. Most of them are free, and many look great. They even have all sorts of useful built-in features like effective SEO and a range of social media tools. If you want to host it yourself, have more freedom to add things or edit the CSS, then there is always Wordpress.org, or you can also just purchase an 'edit CSS' upgrade for less than $20. So: why would anyone pay between $19.99 and $99.99 for an average looking template? I suppose that would only happen if they were completely new to the Internet and didn't know their options - a small and hastily shrinking niche market. 4. For above reasons I don't believe your marketing text on the website: It is just not convincing.
Feedback to the 'Blog Shop', part 2. The other big problem with the website is the text. It has various grammar mistakes and is overall not proper English and not convincing. Example: Proper form: This blog is built for the education niche. However, since it is a standard template obviously not built for a specific niche (since all the niches have the same basic template), the text is extremely unconvincing. It turns native speakers of English off straight away since they can see immediately that it is not true. It could be: 'This blog style suits the education niche', or something similar. That is not necessarily true either, but it is at least not an obvious lie directly into the face of the customer.
