Hello ALL,

First, I have say hello to all. I haven`t been on
the forums for some months, as I`ve been building
with drive on a few projects.

Thank you ALL for the FEEDBACK!
It has been very valuable . . .

Thanks for your time and your insight on this idea

we have created.

Continue to make this your day!

Live Life to Leave a Difference,

" 1. Does the offer peak your interest of signing up? "
From the main page ..... no. I have no clue what its about or how it works because you don`t tell me right away. if I can`t see what you offer as soon as I get to the site, I probably won`t go any farther.

" 2. The content, is it presented and delievered in a understandable manner? "
To me anyway, not really. The merchants area gives an overview, but to me it is hard to understand it because I can`t visualize it; not everyone will get it and picture the overall concept right away. If you had a more visual explanation, like a flow diagram, it would be much easier to understand.

" 3. List just 3 reason to why you`d sign up or not sign up?"
    1. The videos take too long to load to further explain the process.
    2. I don`t see any numbers or stats to back up how you have
        helped other merchants, any company information, customer
        comments, testimonials ..... anything to basically add some
        solidity to your service.
    3. The site has a very ameteur look, not professional at all, so it
is hard to take the site or its message seriously.

You need to invest in better site graphics, do a better layout, create a professional yet fun look. Your main page is 631kb, and offers almost no information; basically a waste of your bandwidth and your visitors time. There is no consistent navigation. No SEO. Not enough page-to-page consistency. No company information, privacy policy, etc. You`re using Iframes which will kill any decent chance for search results.

All in all, I would walk away from this; not saying that to be mean or harsh, but it looks like an amateur site with no strength behind it.

Hi C F Jackson.

I read your post with interest. Nice to see you here on Sun again. I agree,...I`ve noticed you haven`t posted in a long time.

I went to your site but didn`t stay very long. The audio wasn`t very clear on my computer. Webline had a lot of, right on things, to say!

1. Does the offer peak your interest of siging up?

Not really. The site lacks credibility. I hear an amateurish presentation - the A/V portion needs tightening up. As it is, it`s long, drawn out and frankly tedious to listen to. (Ever hear a Ben Stein lecture?) It could be shortened to about one minute.

2. The content, is it presented and delievered in a

understandable manner?

Not convincingly. Do you have ANY idea how many ZIP codes there are in the country? How many businesses have their own ZIP code?

3. List just 3 reason to why you`d sign up or not

No. It lacks credibility.
Also, I detest sites that start playing music or videos without my permission. I usually just close them without further exploring the site. As far as I am concerned, it`s the trademark of an amateur web designer. As are, also, your over use of arrows. And a few grammatical errors.
