Forums: Discussions for entrepreneurs and small business.

Hello!  Here at ABC we have recently redesigned the entire structure of our website in the hopes of making it more user friendly and give a first time user an easier chance of understanding our benefits and what our company does.

I hope you take a few moments for any comments or feedback that you might have!

You have this huge thing that says "benefits" but it`s below the fold for me so I don`t even see it until I scroll.

You also have a huge video.  I don`t know if that works for your target market, but personally I hate clicking on videos for a demo. I would rather read it, especially if it involves sound because I don`t normally have the sound on my computer ... more so if I`m in an office. You`d need to convince me that there`s a reason to click on the video, and I`m not seeing that in the first screen (above the fold).

You talk a lot about yourself on the right side there ... I`d rather see what you can do for me, and perhaps I`d be more likely to watch your video.

FWIW, after skimming around the entire front page, I really see no reason or concrete benefits for me to give you $40 a month. It takes me way too many clicks to get through the benefits, and I`m still not convinced they are attractive enough for me to pay you $40/month.

Your website is easy to navigate, well laid out and I will give whomever did your videos an A+.  Except for the one in member benefits, the audio drops out just after "... yellow pages ...".

I also liked the colors and logo integration.  Good for branding.

Like Nichole, I don`t see anything on the site worth more than my local C of C membership.  Of course, we aren`t the target market for your services.  I see small startups that have no computer or web expertise who need a low-cost solution to their on-line marketing strategy.    If you are trying to be a national "chamber" for small businesses, you must add a blog to the site to encourage business to business discussions and networking. 

Hope this helps.
