Yeah the sites looks pretty neat. The punch hole is my most fav part ^^" so cute simple and modern at the same time. Never hurt to add/put SEO in it my friend.
You are in an extremely competitive space and your website is not up to the highest levels of competition. Your website does not seem very well suited to the U.S./American market. Everywhere you list prices you say 249$ or 349$. In the U.S. that appears as $249 or $349. If you want to encourage business from the U.S. you should use the terms that are common usage for expressing $ here. In the U.S. we do not spell Inquire with and E(nquire). This appears many times and constantly reminds the visitor that this is not a U.S. company. It tells U.S. visitors that small errors could creep into their designs unintentionally. A U.S. based copywriter could easily clean this up at low expense. When you say you have an office in New York (US) it just says you are a foreign company and you don't understand how to communicate here. Everyone in the U.S. knows that New York is in the U.S. and they don't put U.S. in parentheses. When you say "highly talented technical team" that's good and makes sense. When you repeat "highly" in "highly alert support team" you shouldn't be repeating "highly" and should show more creativity than that. When I click on your navigation tabs, they take me to pages that are a Wall of Text. People do not read these. They are looking for interesting pages with images so they can scan. You need headlines, sub headlines, bolding, italics, bullets and images. When I look at your pages, I say to myself, "If this is what these guys did for themselves, then this is what they are going to do for me . . . no thanks". I am looking for images and creativity, anybody can type long uninteresting paragraphs that no one wants to read. There is more stuff the site needs. I look at sites like this every day. I'm happy to answer questions on any of this. All the best.
Carl, thanks a lot for taking the time to review the site! That's exactly what I was looking for, an extensive review! However you have to understand one thing: when you build a website, you have to please the human and the robot (google bot, yahoo bot etc...) and that's the real challenge! What is known to be friendly for the human eye (such as images, flash designs, etc...) isn't necessarily robot-friendly. My main concern when I build a website is to please the robots, because I need good rankings so the humans can find my site! and robots are known to like text, and lots of it! That is why we stuffed the pages with lots of descriptions and keywords. Anyhow, now that the rankings are starting to improve and the traffic is starting to come in, we will be spending time into improving the content and we'll work on all the points that you mentionned! Thanks again!
You make a really critical point. There's always a tradeoff between the robots and the humans and its a judgement call, for sure. Perhaps as you achieve a suitable level of traffic, the human factor can move to the forefront. We like to tell our clients, "it isn't just about the traffic. Its about what the traffic does when it gets there". Best wishes . . . I would be happy to take a look after you make some changes.
