Hey all, This site is quite fresh so before i get in to deep, i would love to hear some honest feedback as to the general design and layout of my new Consolidation website. Again it is very fresh, and im considering changing the layout as something to me just doesn't seem right.. can put my finger on it, really hate that feeling lol so hopefully someone here can pin point it. Cheers.
Hi, 1. I don't like the credit score ad above the text and about your title - it really pulls the attention away from the article, which appears kind of bland next to it (background and lettering; font and color). 2. You might try making the font larger. Since it's a (wonderfully) short page, you can do that without sacrificing anything. it would also provide some competition for the really big ad to the right of your text. That ad kind of overpowers the text, partly because it cycles. 3. Your woman with her money looks like someone who just won the lottery, which isn't really what your blog is about. When you are talking about consolidation of debt, showing someone looking like they just hit the jackpot causes a bit of discrepancy - which might create a trust issue. 4. Lots of punctuation and grammatical errors - you might want to have someone proofread and correct the text. 5. I happened to click on the stars (for the rating) and it automatically logged my "rating" - which is totally inaccurate as I was not trying to rate, so wherever my cursor was, was a fluke. If there is a way to avoid that and actually have the rating happen only on the thumb up or down, your ratings would probable be more accurate. Of course, if I just added a positive/thumb up, then that's cool, too! 6. Because the background for the text is grey, it would be easier to read if the text was darker. 7. Same comments relate to the About us page. Larger and darker text, since it's a fairly short 2 paragraphs - again to compete with that rather large ad on the right. 8. Suggest you do some color feng shui research and see what colors would be most conducive to debt consolidation; background, even ad colors. Trust is probably going to be your biggest challenge, and using the right colors can make that easier. Hope these suggestions help. You have obviously been working on this!
Thanks alot, for your feedback i will take that onboard an improve the site. I Agree darker text is needed i will see how "BOLD" looks or even find a new font as it is a little hard to read. Thanks again for really great feedback.
Very strange i just checked and it's loading fine.. someone also mentioned before that it took a while to load, i wonder if my servers are having issues overseas... all my other sites are loading fine.
It took me too long to figure out what the site was about. You need to make "debt" more obvious. If I stumbled across your site, I wouldn't spend the time to figure it out. Get a good copywriter to help you out.
