Default Site Review

Hi there!! I really like your navigation bar and also your header, they look the business. On the navigation there should be either little arrows on all of the buttons or none... only the top two are working. There is a serious amount of information missing from the main page. This would stop me going in to the site any further as I really have no idea what I'm looking at. If you were to put a company profile or just a small paragraph about the type of business then it would be better. I dont think that the seasons greetings banner is very... um... yeh... I think your better off without it.

Add a title to your pages. something with a description of the page.

Break up pages and pages of writing with some pictures, they look boring and reading them seems like it could be a settle down for the evening job, Just every half page length or more add an image.

Maybe your pricing and YTD details could be placed into a table rather than as a picture make it quicker loading.

Each page needs a title somewhere on the page so that the user knows where they are.

I wish you the best of luck with the site and with a bit of work you'll be well on your way!!

Nick Foster

You might consider making the text on the buttons a bit more easily read. Then again, it could be me. A previous response for feedback was good. The real challenge is all the text that needs to be read. Too many don't like to read and research indicates reading online is much slower than reading hardcopy. Identify why a customer should use you, and make that jump out to catch their attention. You might consider identifying the "fine print" information and enable a viewer to download and read a hardcopy if they choose. You site is attractive and professionally on target. You have a good start. Bill

I agree the navigation is good. It appears to me that you either fixed the arrow problem or they are all working now.

Index page needs to be flushed out. Tell me what you want me to do, or learn or something as to why I am there. The graphic is... well, interesting. Where is your alt tagshowing me what the heck this graphic means?

CFTC Risk Disclosure Please - PLEASE DO NOT USE ALL CAPITAL LETTERS IT IS HARD TO READ, and I don't like being yelled at!

I like the Trade Examples graphic, would like it better if it all fit on the page without having to scroll.

Good luck and good start!

To those that want to ask that the capitals be removed, the CFTC requires that it be in all caps, don't ask me why. If it is not in all caps, they don't consider the site in compliance and can cause you all kinds of grief.

The first thing I'd suggest is get someone, or do it yourself, but go through the entire site, clicking every link, and checking every link on every page to be sure they are a) working, and b) leading where you want. An automated link checker won't check if the link isn't there, such as I found on the page named http://www.pcrtradingsignals.com/gpage3.html the link for Trade Examples isn't working, and on gpage.html, the link for Guarantee/Refund Policy doesn't work (these are at the bottom of the pages).

Get that cleaned up, so you don't get a bunch of messages dealing with that, then folks can look more closely at the site itself.

For a first attempt this is a very nice job.

I only really have a couple of suggestions.

i) the graphic at in the main body of the main page is not very clear. I am not sure what exactly it is?

ii) The text in your tool bar / navigation bar is difficult to read. Maybe make the buttons a rollover that changes the color? or maybe the text color changes.

If I think of anything else I will edit this post.

Generally speaking I like the site, and for a first attempt it is very good. I like the layout down the side, and your information is presented in a clear and uncluttered fashion.

I would agree with the earlier comment that the image on the front page is very unclear, and it took me quite a while to actually fathom what it was. Also the graph below seems larger than it needs to be.

Also some of your pages are far to wide. I am running on 1152 x 864 resolution and I still had to horizontally scroll on some pages, these really need to be reduced. Customers running 800 x 600 would find it really difficult to use your site.

Other than that I like the site, and it should act as a good base to develop upon.

Default www.pcrtradingsignals.com Site Review

thank you all so much for your comments. There was one that was mentioned that I definently want to correct right away but don't know how to go about it. Here is the comment:

Also some of your pages are far to wide. I am running on 1152 x 864 resolution and I still had to horizontally scroll on some pages, these really need to be reduced. Customers running 800 x 600 would find it really difficult to use your site.

I wasn't paying attention to my monitor resolution setting which was set even higher than 1152 x 864. I believe it was 1280 x ???. I remember at the time increasing the font sizes and the image sizes in order for me to easily see it. That was at the very early stages of developing. I've made changes to the site over a period of time on whatever monitor I just happened to be viewing at the time. Now the question is where to begin.

Default Great start

Your site is looking good for a first time effort - you have some work to do to build it out and make it more professional and complete.

I am not a huge fan of audio files for the standard website - maybe something to consider.

Keep up the good work.

Happy Holidays.

Well Done , a nice clean site. However the comments that have been said are right t the point. Pages are too wide and theHomepage does not outline what you are about. Why are there and what is your website going to do for you??

Title is clean and simple, dont change it it will become your identity.

The navigation bar is good and simple but it would be usefull iof a set of pop down menus appeared when you move the mouse over the small arrow.

Nice looking web site

I would remove the counter from the home page make the graph smaller and add more text.

Also a mouse over effect would help on the nav.

I would also work on the logo a little more.

But you have a nice clean looking site.

Great first attempt!

However, I would change the "I'm Online - Send me a message" graphic. It does not look proffesional nor does it match the rest of your site. I would also move it to above or below your nav bar. I think it looks out of place in the body of your site.

Please lose (or at least hide from public view) the counters. Counters in my opinion scream newbie.

Again, Great first attempt!
