Forums: Discussions for entrepreneurs and small business.

Hi,
    Love the forums, the book, and the podcast of Startup Nation. They have helped me in so many ways. I have recently started a website televsion channel called ultrasport.tv (www.ultrasport.tv). I designed the site myself.
    What does everyone think of the site? I will eventually get a design firm to do a re-design, but what do you all think I should fix, change, get rid of now?
     Also, anyone good at making logos?
   Thanks
       Wes

Interesting site. Simple enough to navigate - minimal design. I think that`s best for now :-) I second the suggestion that there be more on the "about" page. Color scheme is kind of weird (to me, anyway.) I like the blue and orange, but I`m not sure about the gold-ish color.

Those are just some thoughts off the top of my head. Looks like an interesting website!

Hi!
  Thanks for the tips Christina and Aayush. I have applied more to the about page, changed the word "journal" to "blog" and also added some video content (more to come very soon).
    One more question. Does anyone have any experience with the service constantcontact.com? I need to start a newsletter and have heard some good things about them.
    Thanks

Sorry Wes -- I have no idea and haven`t heard of any reviews for constantcontact.com.

Wes,

Reference your question about Constant Contact. I use it for several newsletter projects I handle for clients. I like it. Others on this forum have their favorite programs, too.

If you go to the "Marekting" form, drill down and read past posts on the archived pages (quick link to previous pages), you`ll find some lively discussions on the subject of newsletters. Worth the time to read through them. You`ll get some good info from these previous posts.

BTW - welcome and good luck!

Wes,

I am a Graphics/Web Designer.  I think the look should be bolder.  I like the orange, but not the blue and gold.  Also, the page background needs to be separate from the content background color.  I`ve got some great ideas for your website that I think you will like.  Maybe we can talk some more and work something out?
