Default Site review for website using Wordpress blog theme

I'm helping rebuild a website using a wordpress blog theme, so far just this FTP Hosting Page and Homepage are redone using wordpress. Other pages (like the Chat Software page) are yet to be melded into the blog theme. Grateful for any feedback.

many thanks, Melissa

Hi Melissa,

You have a good start. Here area a couple of things I'd change to improve usability and readability:

  1. Separate out your calls to action better by using more color or graphic treatments. Right now, they're difficult to see related to the other copy.
  2. Only put 1 or 2 calls to action on a page. When you do more than that, it can become confusing to the visitor and look a little tacky.
  3. I noticed you had a clients section on the home page. At first I thought it was an ad of some sort because of the quick rotation and placement. You should consider separating it out better and using a different treatment for it. Maybe give it it's own section/page.
  4. On the FTP Hosting page. I like the look of the tables at the bottom. Because the information is very similar throughout those tables, I suggest combining that information into a comparison table. That would help visitors more easily see those services and compare the differences in one location as opposed to going from table to table. Therefor, helping them to make a choice much more quickly.
I hope this feedback is helpful.

Hi, like the colour scheme. Very appealing shades of blue. Love that.
Now my observation;
On the FTP hosting - no return path to home page. Where is the top menu?
Agree with Justavan on the tables. Maybe one larger table with all plans would look better and be easier to compare. But that is just my opinion. The current state is not too bad from point of usability.
Generally it is well designed.
There seems to be no meta tags, like keywords or description in the code.
Apart from my above observations I did not find any faults. Still like the colour scheme. Lol.
Displays in all browsers well.

Hello Tim and Alphaomega -- very helpful.

I will look at the tables again, and get the metatags added into the wordpress template. And yes I should add an obvious button to the homepage.

thanks again,
Melissa
