    Icrease Conversion

    Posted on Nov 07, 2010 at 11:17 AM

    I'll add my 2 cents - agree with the other reviews, loving the design and illustration and focusing on adding the navigation and making this more a site than a flyer, but i think there are some more things to add, to increase conversion:

    1. Instead of "plus... it's Free..." and a separate Submit My Site, create a button saying - SUBMIT MY SITE as top sentence, and It's Free! as the sentence below

    2. If there's a sign up/ creating an account, it should be on the first page. If i have submitted my site, i'm not sure i want to see this page everytime and scroll down to see if it's featured, so you could use cookies to re-direct users to another page (or have this top section as an expand/ collapse panel)

    3. i think that since the elements are round (the logo, points), the buttons should have round corners as well

    Header

    Push the main tagline down below the header to cater for a possible navigation, and to clearly define the header of the website.

    Call to Action Panel

    I'd push this down below the bullet points as a horizontal row

    Smaller Graphic

    Could make the graphic a little smaller so that it lines up with the left set of bullet points. Your main tagline would site above this, likely horizontally and center aligned.

    Divider

    Create some sort of clear definition between the main banner graphic, and the portfolio section. Currently, this part looks like a simple H2 following some intro content.

    Client Name

    The heading for the client name is a little strange as it doesn't cut across both screenshots. Consider extending it all the way to the right, or lose the background color and have a simple border-bottom.

    More Footer

    I hope that's not the end of the footer. The top area seems to have so much effort put into it, but the footer seems like a disappointing afterthought. Even if you intend not to have a top navigation, do keep a good footer with the necessary legal info and links, about and contact information. The footer should be light text on a dark background (not unlike the CF site) for a clear definition as well.
