webnauts. The words above slowed me down, I re- read them. . and the second reading emptied my mind of anything else I was thinking of .

There is No way I would venture beyond this paragraph. it is not inviting, offers no 'promise', allays no fears. Is not reasuring, does not ooze confidence, or success.

I think Tubby is being over critical. You could sell your services better, but so can everyone.

Some points:
I don't think you need the 'you are here' on the breadcrumb nav, unless you really think there is an accessibility issue. You should be able to illustrate the purpose using formatting.

It is polite when asking for a review to enable your source code so that we can view it and help.

I think the content is hard to read. Some suggestions: more line height, different font, dark grey text rather than black.

I like the layout and colours, clean and simple, easy to use. I am not convinced I need your services tho. There are so many people out there in this game. Tubby may have a point.

I like your site which on first view looks clean and easy to read and easy to find out about the company.

Perhaps for the less technical viewer the content is a little bit over the head of some visitors? They may as Tubby suggests move on elsewhere. I realise of course that you are trying to pick up on keywords phrases.

I notice you don't use much in the way of images and photos - any reason why? I always thought that images help to gain interest and to get a point across?

Apart from that, the site is peeerrrrrrfeeeect!

About the less images, read here: http://www.nature.com/news/2006/0601...109-13_pf.html

By the way, which fonts would be appropriate? And which line-height?

About the other issues, I will be back later. Thank you for your reviews so far.

Try verdana or trebuchet MS. Arial sometimes doesn't work as well as these. It's a matter of trying different things

But studies have shown that best readability is achieved with, first Arial and then with Verdana.

What studies webnauts? Verdana was designed for the web wasn't it? For me also, I do not like Arial on a web page specially when the font is small. i also like to try Tahoma and Trebuchet sometimes.

In design terms another question that pops into my mind is whether the use of Sans Serif AND Serif fonts on the same page is a good idea or not. For instance H1 might be Arial and content below that in Times (ycccch), then H2 might also be in Arial etc etc..

Personally I don't like mixing (especially Times) but what do others think?

I use times new roman, for most of my sites, but I do use Arial if I feel I need to 'Smarten" something up a bit.

I think to be a little wary about new studies that show 'whatever' especially if they are taken in isolation. I personally was not overly impressed with the study mentioned earlier where viewers were asked to give an opinion on an extremely short viewing, and then askled if they agreed with their earlier opinion when a more detailed look was made.
The report did mention the tendency to confirm your own opinion. . I think to use that report as any sort of conformation that pictures are not required is way off. .

It is Bloody hard to create a web page that works on all the levels, there are so many conflicting elementsd. I have noticed that many 'Banners' do a better job of selling than the web page that the banner sends you to.

Banners do not need to be covered with key words to get traffic. But they do regularly 'Hit the target" better for creating the sale.

I could simply use the banners that appear on WebProWord as an example, a couple of them are quite compelling. They only use a small area, so They need to be compelling. . I think the page you arrive at needs to be just as compelling, but in a broader manner. to me If I do not get that 'Buy me' message 'this is what I want' message . . the page has failed.

webnaughts, you have everything going for you. but I can see a severe lack of salemanship in you, It might well be your only fault. . Unfortunately there are a ton of brilliant salesmen around that are totally unable to create a class website.

I rarely critique web site design (look at my own and you will understand why) but my users do click on the 'yes' buttons when I present them . .

I honestly do not think your page hits the full potential for selling your product. I think you probably have all other aspects well under control.

Unfortunately I do not suspect I am smart enough to be able to pinpoint the precise changes that might be needed. I think it's a bit like eating a cake realy, I could tell you if it is not quite tasting right. . But ask me to cook a better one. . well you know.

I would like to see you do another poll to get as more detailed feedback. probably in the marketing forum with half a dozen questions on 'will this page convert to sales' . . etc. I myself would like to see the feedback. .

O.K. . I opened my big mouth.

(I shall take another look)


Back again

O.K. I think the point I want to make is. you can leave all the words on the page for the search engines. but you do not need to force the reader to read them. . you can make reading the words an option I placed an image because I had one handy.

http://www.restocar.com/thought (nothing fancy just an image thought. .

this gives you room for a buy me message
