Finally got a new face to my site! www.rcbryan.com - What do you think?

I finally have my homepage the way I want it. I would love to hear what you all think about my design!

Please be brutal!

I do still have to work on my internal pages next.

I've typed out several things trying to be brutal, and can't do it. It's really good - well done.

very nice! well done!

It looks great! Excellent first impression. My only suggestion would be to reduce the scrolling on the first page if possible - the bottom few blog entries look a little unbalanced and out of place.

Looks very nice. But personally I would probably not use your services if I did not know you here on forum. Reason - site reminds me all those clickbank websites slinging some crappy ebook or course (I am talking about the structure and that free offer popup with email collection box). I would expect something a little different. But thats just me

People often have a negative response to the pop-ins. The thing is I get 50+ registrations a day with those. Because of that I've decided to keep using them. There is simply no other way to get so many opt ins. I've built a list of over 10,000 users in the past six months using them.

It looks good but thats about it, i closed out because its way to slow and bloated. Might want to work on that.

I've been having a major problem with speed on my server. It's driving me nuts. I never had this problem before.

What do you mean by bloated?

**EntrepreneurHub1** · 04-21-2011 04:59 PM

I think it is a great site. Very basic, but flash enough to satisfy. It was great to look through.

**Gaulkin** · 04-21-2011 10:46 PM

It feels bloated. Try to compress your code and images as much as possible. Did you write the code yourself?

**UAS Trevor** · 04-22-2011 12:40 AM

Site looks great in my opinion, hate the popup at the beginning but if it is drawing that many opt ins then i would say keep it. if the conversion rate on the opt ins are good.

Nice design.

**theofficeescape** · 05-01-2011 05:13 AM

Congratulations on your new design. Overall I think you have chosen a great theme for your site. But since you asked us to be brutal... I think the photos you chose for your services maybe a bit too overwhelming (for me). I prefer a cohesive theme of photos across instead of different theme on each photo...

Good luck on your new venture and wishing you the best of luck!

I like the design of the site, looks clean and I think most importantly looks trustworthy.
I don't mind the pop up, the one thing I'm not really a fan of is all the content on the first page. Does it really need that much, personally I would get rid of everything below "business is war" try and suck me in more to the field I want then bombard me. This will also speed the site up a huge amount, I know I'm not your target market being here in Australia but it took a good 30 seconds to open up, if I had clicked through from google I wouldnt Of let it go that far. Good luck with it

You are not the first person to say loose the blog section. I'm thinking about giving that a try. It's currently there for SEO Content. I do agree with you that I could get more focus to my services if there wasn't so much to look at on the homepage.
