Hey folks, I'm in need of some desperate engligtenment. See i built my site recently and everyone I ask gives me a 'yeah its ok' a thums up and a pat on the back (lucky me ) not no real opinion to improve it. I'm more of a programmer than a web designer, so unsuprisingly not a master of the arts of design. I'd be endebted to anyone who has a look at the site (which hasn't quite kicked off yet) and give me some feedback as to the design, concept and programming and some suggestion if you have I take nothing too offensively, so go ahead and let your anger out on me here's the site: http://www.servicetender.com
1. The business headlines font on the left column is mighty small! Not very user-friendly. If those are important, I'd limit the number of headlines and enlarge the font. 2. I am getting a white space in the header graphics for login and quickfind on Safari. 3. There's a lot of information below the fold, so much that I would be inclined to move on to another website rather than slog through it. I might consider putting that info onto a separate page, e.g., "about us" and link to it from the home page. IMHO, of course. I hope this is helpful.
Check your copy, there are some errors. For example: This is not a proper sentence. It should be ARE and not IS. In fact, a couple sentences later, you use "are" instead. I am not sure what your intent is, but the website is currently structured toward someone who already knows about "tendering" and what you are talking about. If you are trying to appeal to a different audience, it needs to be restructured.
You have a nice concept and contents. IMO the contents are a bit crowded you could put some of it in a separate page i.e an "about us" page. Good luck
The site looks good. I recommend using SEO friendly links though. A lot of search engines will only count main.php as ONE page instead of each individual pages.
If you are trying to appeal to novices, try explaining what your industry/site is and why they should care right away. Right now, your website assumes the visitor knows all this. Like I said, if you are targeting experts, it is probably ok.
Thats a very good point actually On the content issue, like marketjunction suggested : I cut it down to size and got to the point and shifted the rest of the content in thier individual pages Hey, i bet you fellas feel like god right now
