Forums: Discussions for entrepreneurs and small business.

Hi

Just had look at your site, I think the products your selling is good and things some people would love to have. However your template your using is not doing you any justice. I think if you get a template which is much lighter in colour (keep it simple)
this means your products will stand out more, which what your audience want to see.

I totally agree.  The changes are almost complete thanks to the visionaries.  MichianaWebline.com  and the infamous CraigL.  With all the sound information SuN has given... I truly anticipate growth and that on a perpetual basis.  Thanks SuN! 

Small business is fun!

Here is an updated version. Not all links are active yet, but a few of the first ones on the left will work.

Much better, in my opinion...! :-) Now let`s talk about some color. I went out and looked under "home fitness," and "install home fitness," along with some other possible queries for similar business. What I found was ALL of them are so busy it`s almost impossible to understand the site, much less the message.

I still think the questions/articles down along the left side add to the confusion, not to the clarity. But I definitly (very much so!) like the extended monitor width. That helps reduce some of the clutter.

I`d suggest now, having a very light background color to help ease the eyes with all that text on white. For example Hex #F2F8F5, or something very very pale that compliments the green text, but dims down (just a touch) the starkness of the white.

If you go slightly darker (#EFFBEB), you could then go with plain black for you content, and a nice hunter green for your headlines (for visual compliments). Then you`d have some room to make your images a bit larger. Keep either the width or height of all the images the same, depending if they`re laid out horizontal or vertical.

I`m NOT a Web designer or graphics layout artist. I`m making these suggestions based on old and tired eyes, which get a bit achey with pure white backgrounds on a busy site.

The better solution would be to reduce the "clutter" by half, and really focus the eye on a compelling message: "We can make your life fabulous because we offer this solution to your major problem." (Replace "this" and "problem" with actual content.)

But overall, this is a whole lot better than the previous iteration, in my own opinion. :-)

That`s such a world of improvement it`s hard to remember what the original looked like!! What a fantastic job! It`s so much easier now to read, that I actually spent some time checking it out.

Let us know how your analytics are working, and if you notice a new spike in traffic. :-)

Thanks, Craig. I think that, all in all, Adrian and myself are happy with it. The true test comes when we watch our stats, receive comments from users, and of course the bottom line in business conversions.

Any additional input is always welcome from SUN members.
