    Put the video in place of the images at top of page

    Posted on Mar 12, 2010 at 12:54 PM

    The grey area dividing the page is too tall, should be a little thinner. The small text about the reduce price is a major selling point and should be featured in the copy. Use a carousel or tabs for the info on the bottom right of the page, i.e. Screenshots.

    Images on right hand side

    Posted on Mar 07, 2010 at 5:05 PM

    I like this design, I would not change much apart from the images on the right hand side in the header. I would see what it looks like less transparent. I would also consider bringing on top of the grey bar.

    Try to find a way to go with less scrolling.

    Posted on Mar 07, 2010 at 6:54 PM

    In my opinion this is a great looking design. So I would like to start off with that. One thing I would just point out is, for people using netbooks and smaller vertical height screens, be sure you sneak those two primary action items into that viewable area.

    Also, I don't think the scrolling is that bad, but I would mention that if there was some way of controlling / limiting the users necessity to scroll through all that info that would help your cause (w/r/t your user base), instead of looking like a brochure. Seems like you could do most of that content with a couple quick buttons that swap it around. This would help tighten up the content area below the silver bar as well.

    Hope this helps, overall nice and clean.

    put some more emphasis on the logo

    Posted on Mar 08, 2010 at 6:51 PM

    Here's just some thoughts in no particular order:

    1. the logo needs some more emphasis-also the top left of the screen is rather empty

    2. I think you're trying to squeeze too much text in too little space in the green area

    3. The "View Demo" and "buy now" buttons have way too much shadow beneath them. Maybe you could also try having more of an indented text look

    4. You need to add some more vertical padding to the main content area and add some more padding to the sidebar.

    5. You might want to come up with a better footer. Use your footer to get your visitor to stay on your site longer by clicking links to others parts of your site.

    6. I think you should reduce the amount of gradient on the grey bar separating the green and white sections of the site.

    Um....everything else looks fine.

    images behind the main

    Posted on Mar 09, 2010 at 8:34 AM

    I would get rid of the images that are behind the main image, no real need for them.

    Other than that the design is good. Personally im not a fan of Olive Green used that much, but thats just me, not a bad thing for the site.

    Only thing

    Posted on Mar 09, 2010 at 11:55 AM

    The grey bar where you got "View Demo" and "Buy Now" i would try to do that thinner. And i would delet that transparent screenshot behind the actual screenshot.

    Look / Copy

    Posted on Mar 11, 2010 at 7:20 AM

    Is a pub owner going to know what "customizable design elements' means.

    Also, design is nice but feels too 'slick' for a pub. Instead of solid gradients and shadows, have you tried textures or a worn look?

    Website screen shot not sell worthy

    Posted on Mar 11, 2010 at 8:58 AM

    Site looks good with strong Call-to-Action buttons but the main promo image of the screen shot is not selling the service or representative of the overall site design.

    Is there a better screen shot or design you could use? The feeling I get is that you put a lot of time into your own website design but the service one isn't as engaging.

    Just my 2cents. Good job

    Bigger screenshot

    Posted on Mar 11, 2010 at 9:03 AM

    The whole thing sits really nicely and is immediately impressive. I'd squeeze some more size out of the screenshot at the expense of pushing stuff lower because that's a good majority of your sale right there. Features are well and good but nothing like the final product to make the sale.

    Also, the watermark/faded screenie really isn't adding anything.

    Transparent images on the right

    Posted on Mar 11, 2010 at 9:08 AM

    It's a great landing page. But I would get rid of the transparent images on the right hand side like it has mentioned before.

    I would also display the price of the template next to the Buy Now button.

    Instead of easy to use, you should mention antoher outstanding feature of your template. As everbody writes easy to use and I don't take a statement like this serious anymore. I click the demo to see for myself if it's easy to use.

    Size

    Posted on Mar 07, 2010 at 8:55 PM

    I prefer the sizing of the first one better (text/image). The second one is definitely a little bit crowded, and lose the transparent bit of the image in the background... it's a bit distracting.

    Great site

    Posted on Mar 08, 2010 at 8:04 AM

    This is a great site, well designed and nicely formatted. However, I don't really understand where this is going. Is it going to be it's own dedicated site, or is it going to be tied in with your theme site? How are people going to get to it and are they going to understand it all once t hey get to it. Should there be a logo in the left hand corner?

      Hi Nate, thanks for the comments. Good idea on logo move. I'm new to selling so I'm trying a little bit of everything if you want I guess... dedicated sales page, group page (theme force), etc.. I'll be tracking everything and trying to understand how to leverage my available resources :) Cheers

    The bigger image is the background...

    Posted on Apr 25, 2010 at 2:28 PM

    Closed-up in the background of your header is a bit akward, and visually unsettling. I think it'll give more strengh to remove it.

    I also think it would be more efficient (regarding to marketing and way to scan a webpage) to put the CTA buttons just under the video at the right of your header (see my 2cents file). Your screenshots will be just after, and to finish you'll add the description text.

    I agree with others: your logo has to be bigger.

    Use a grid would be useful too.

    Hope it helps, Regards.
