    Demonstrate the companies services more clearly

    Hi Zeno,

    I hope you're well.

    I don't have much to say about this design. With all due respect I think it leaves a lot to be desired.

    I don't feel it would be constructive to point out things or criticise your efforts.

    It may however be useful for you to visit http://www.selfvalue.co.uk/. This is a good example of the company that provides services similar to Synchronise.

    The Self Value site is very simple but effectively conveys the message of the company.

    I hope this helps.

    Kind regards,

    Matt

      Hey Matthew,

      There's no need to apologize for giving a negative feedback :) I'm a big boy and I can take it :D this is what this community is for.

      The client wanted a site with her own photos (she took them herself) and with a low budget. We tried to make is as simple as possible.

      The thing is that "I think it leaves a lot to be desired" it's not helping me very much.

      What is it that you don't like?

      Z.

      Hi Zeno,

      Thanks for your reply.

      The thing is... I don't like any part of it, theme, colour, images or the message it attempts to convey.

      There is nothing to the site really. The picture is confusing and gives me the impression of a B&B. In my opinion it doesn’t engage the visitors and the presentation is very dull. People and companies in the ‘coaching’ line of business are supposed to be very positive. This site simply has no energy.

      I don’t think it reflects a positive company image. That was the reason that I pointed you to the www.selfvalue.co.uk website.

      Perhaps you could take note of the elements on this example site and apply something along those lines to this project.

      Kind regards,

      Matt
