Re: Updated site, please respond

Truthfully, when I open your page, I really don't know what you do or why I'm there. With the free website builder link at the top, I thought maybe you were a web design company - but found that not to be true. I read the first paragraph and still didn't understand why I was there or what you might do for me. Your header didn't tell me either - I didn't understand the line - Here's an Idea that might work for you - Yours"????

All of your left navigation looks like it's for a product called Aquatect - which doesn't explain your end - which I take to be design? The link to 1 -2-3 set up doesnt work, nor does the coming april 06.

When I was on the aquatect page, I had to scroll way down to be able to click the navigation to get back to the home page. If I was interested in what you have, I probably wouldn't have been by then. Navigation needs to be easy and most often in the same place on every page.

David, you have good bones here - but need to really make it clear what YOU are and why the site. I believe in Vodahost - but you are losing who and what your site is by making them the most prominent part of your header - which is what immediately confused me about what/who you were. Your own company name is basically hidden below the header.

Anyway, I wouldn't recommend or not recommend at this point.

Bethers,
Nice analysis. I will work on the home page right now. The first page I had was too detailed. I was told there was too much information regarding the company. The 123 page is a power point presentation I am trying to put up as a HTML or web page. Coming in April is one of the other pages I have not converted over to Voda.

Dave,

Your header is way too big, it takes up a good share of the "above" the fold, which is where you need to captivate your audience, or they are pretty much gone. You need to lose the hype sell style. Its not you and it really shows. Personally, I dont even wait for those hype style products and pages to load before I am gone. Go and look at some professionally done sites and stores for whatever it is you are marketing...I have NO idea what it is. Your navigation buttons are all over the page, NOT good. You can use text linking for anything you want to link in your information and put your nav buttons all in an ordered sequence down one side or the other or across the top and/or both. Honestly, I never even looked at the other pages, because I was so confused by the first one. One other thing, when you hilight and bold a word, pretend you are speaking to someone across the table and you are using a pointer to point things out on a presentation and when u want them to look at you, slowly bring the pointer up to your eye level, and they will naturally look up at you. When you highlight something in this manner, you want them totally focused on what you are saying, so make it a keyword!

Use the KISS Rule Dave!

Hi David: I really like the idea you have in helping promote peoples inventions and ideas. I would like to see your logo in a higher resolution, it should be crisp and clean. Right now it looks like low resolution that has been stretched out. Don't know, but I think it just needs to stick out professionaly because I like it. My second thought is that instead of running all of your text together, that you have titles, like About Us, Vision Statement, Our First Success or Product, etc. One more thing...is the font you used in your header a web friendly font? Like your Logo, it appears to be lacking a few pixels here and there. You've got a great start!

Re: Updated site, please respond

Everything looks ok
its just your text seems to be to one side of the page
but apart from that its fine

Re: Updated site, please respond

Thanks for the input. I have made the logo larger and changed some font sizes around. I still have more pages to design, so for now I only have two.

Re: Updated site, please respond

I found your text at the top difficult to read as the right hand half seems to disappear into the background. I would suggest this is changed as this is an important message to get across clearly.

The text on your navigation buttons isn't very clear to read, and in my minds detracts from the professionalism of the rest of the site.

Other than that the site looks pretty good.

Dave,

Its looking much better than when I first viewed it. The header is still really large and the text there is really hard to read. I would make that 1000 bill smaller and have your text run under it rather than the text cover it. It is really hard to read the way that it is. Over all tho its much improved!
