Forums: Discussions for entrepreneurs and small business.

Howdy Fellow Entrepreneurs! I`m so excited because after months of
hard work and stress, my website for my new business went live today!
See it at www.jexbo.com. And not only is it a dream come true seeing my
idea in action, but it also helps other small business owners out there.

Now self-published authors can sell their books inexpensively online
without having to spend a fortune on a publisher. Plus, they can talk
directly to buyers, and readers can find unique books.

This is just the initial launch phase, so please let me know what you think
of the site and tell your friends about it!

Thanks so much,

Jill

I`m thinking you need to have a couple of lines explaining the site on the homepage.  Granted you don`t have a lot of books on there yet, it still seems confusing as what to do when one gets to the site.

I agree with Steve, and would add that there ought to be an "About" tab at the bottom.

Thanks for the comments! I`m going to try to change the placement of "Buy
& Sell Self-Published Books" from above the book categories to below the
search area. I know there isn`t an About tab, but there is a News link at the
bottom that has information about jexbo™ plus a media kit. Also Erin I don`t
publish books - just provide a place for self-published books to be listed &
sold. I do know many if not most of the publishing houses allow authors to
list their books on their sites, but for readers, they have to look through the
books listed on so many different sites to see if they can find something. I
thought it would be convenient for both author and reader to have one
location to work with. Again, thanks for the comments & let me know if
there`s anything else I could do to improve the site!

So what you`re basically saying is that if the visitors can`t figure out that "news" means "about," that`s their problem? You may want to re-think that.
