My business recently launched it's new website. I'd appreciate some feedback, there are a few bugs and glitches im aware of and have tested the website in 1024 x 600 resolution.

Feedback would be great please guys.

I am no website designer but for a company offering website design as a service your website looks amateur, just a quick search on google brought up these 2 sites:

Web design | Affordable Website Design from £249
Web Design, Website Design, Web Designers, Advert Design

Not saying these are fantastic but if 1000 customers came across your website and these 2 I can guarantee you would not get 1 order, if you look at the design of these 2 sites and compare to yours you will see why.

If design isn't your strong point, for example you are a coder or your expertise is in back end systems then get a freelance designer on board, seriously, from the last site you showed to this one there has not been a massive step forward in terms of design, outsource the design and you will be much more successful.

Just my thoughts, hope they are constructive

I kinda agree with the above to be honest, the site's not looking brilliant...especially if what you offer is Website Design, the advice to outsource design is good and maybe something worth looking into.

Hi All

Following everyones feedback to the old website I have redone it, and this time I'm quite confident we have got it right, there are some issues with IE 6 that I'm aware of, and there may be a couple with IE7 but other than that it looks pretty cool

Feedback guys please:

hello Rob,
I'd recommend adding the following two links to your homepage but i'd correct any errors first.

The W3C Markup Validation Service

and

The W3C CSS Validation Service

Hi Rob,

I think there's an improvement, however, there are still other things that need to be worked on.

I think the logo looks a bit too clip-arty and if you are offering logo design, your own logo needs to have a bit more 'umph'. The slideshow of images on the homepage is maybe a little too fast(could be just me on this one).

Just looking on the portfolio page of web designs and the 'Beaches@Newquay' website says it has been designed by 'Computing Resolved' - is this another branch of the company?

I think the main thing that is lacking is the actual design, in honesty, if you could sort that out by possibly hiring a freelancer then do the coding etc, yourself, you'd have something a lot more professional, that customers would be more willing to buy from.

Hope this helps

Hi There

Thank you for your feedback.

The Beaches@newquay was designed by another company, at present we are updating and maintaining the website for them, it would be improper for us to take credit for the website they designed and descriptions will be added to the portfolio under each website.

With regards to the logo, I appreciate your feedback on this, however, we have had the logo looked at by several people including business people and our general client portfolio all have provided positive feedback leading to the choice of logo.

Good thinking batman :o)

They're lying or don't know what they are talking about, in my opinion the logo looks bad, sorry

Again, I have to disagree the site looks amateur at best, as advised above hire a designer.

Hi,
Hardly think a well qualified business adviser would be lying The Logo was picked because it was simple and said exactly what we wanted it to say. We didn't want anything fancy as i say just clean and simple. As for showing off what we can do in regards of logos the portfolio will be updated with our past and present works.

At the end of the day it is all to do with personal preference you can't please everyone all of the time :)


Again.... Might not be to everyone's taste and yes still needs tweaking but on the whole feedback has been exceptionally good on this site compared to the previous ones. And this has been from people who have given us an honest opinion of the past ones which haven't been good!
