I get an odd feeling that when looking at this website, it's as if I'm looking at a poster advertisement on a wall. There's actually nothing wrong with the design and appearance of the site. It looks clean; the style and color scheme is consistent. Although - to the exception of the three small links - the site appears completely non-interactive, hints of no activity and it really doesn't compel users to engage with it other than on a level where one engages with a billboard. If that was the designer's intention then they've successfully achieved it. I think it's definitely unfortunate to neglect utilizing fully current web design/development capabilities in order to engage and draw user's (and potential customer's) on a higher and more stronger level than what it is currently doing.
The fact that the website itself is not an excessively long one (like many other marketing sites), and that its content is succinct and straight to the point is definitely a positive. I think there are however countless marketing websites that limit themselves because they treat a website like a billboard space, basically transplanting their paper advertisements into a web display form. It's a shame because a website, in the 21st century, can be much more than an advertising board, and using 90's style web marketing approaches may allow you to somewhat survive in the new web culture, however it will not let your website thrive, to its potential.
If this site has managed to do it's job of marketing itself competently, then you've reached your set goal, but if you desire to progress to the next level of web marketing effectiveness then you have to take into account new web applications, features, tools, software, systems and networks that have developed over the last few years which are at your finger tips. So basically, you want your website & your marketing strategy to evolve with the web, that of which your site does not give any indication of having done so. But to be fair, that's more so with a great number of marketing sites. I won't attempt to explain in detail or in any specific fashion of 'how' you can go about making the site even better than it is, but I will generally refer you to view the two lists of links below. List A, generally represents marketing-related sites that are more or less up to date with web applications, tools, technologies and standards. List B, generally represents an out-dated strategy of marketing online. I cannot be specific as to what the exact criteria is to determine whether a site is, let's just say, 'satisfactory' in accordance with the standards of website design & interaction that user's in 2009 regularly experience, however, you'll notice that list A makes use of a variety of tools, features and formats (i.e. blog format, signup & login feature, comment posting, forum, RSS updates, sharing feature, video, etc.) creating for itself a culture & community around the site (and product) with continuous interactions with users (customers/clients). Thereby leading to such a privileged state as having the product sell itself, as opposed to trying very, very hard to sell the product. List B, well, it's a challenge to seriously consider such sites as those as they are so linear, so out-dated, so un-engaging, so typically standard that they class themselves into a category where users are likely to instantaneously - upon seeing the site - question its reliability, credibility, and its overall professionalism. List B websites are so unnatural to the web user experience that one could simply print them, stick them on a wall, and one wouldn't even know the difference. Perhaps my bias is that I have too much a liking for the best, and I think as an entrepreneur you'll have the same understanding.


List A:
BruceClay Internet Marketing Services: Search Engine Optimization SEO, PPC, Web Design and Tools
110 Traffic Generation Tips To Market Your Website
Web Marketing Advice
Work at Home Jobs and Home Business Community

List B:
Butterfly Marketing - By Mike Filsaime
publicity plan, media plan, public relations plan
Join the Million Dollar Author Club
Website Marketing Bible - the definitive Internet marketing strategy e-book

So overall, the site is quite ok in light of the standard that 'List A links' sets, however if your aim is to produce a high standard marketing website, then the way has been shown, and the challenge thus lies ahead.

Chabz, your post are usually interesting, but you could do with some paragraphs... to make the reading a bit easier for us

[Chabz]

Lol, will do.

You should create more content, to make visitors return to your site. If they see only one page (which, like Chabz said look more like a poster ad on a wall) they will never come back. one they read a think they will not come back to read it again, that's sure.

At this moment, the site has no future. Create a "latest news" or "articles" section or something to show that you are there for your visitors and keep them updated with the domain's news. In this case, a RSS feed will be very useful and a Social Bookmarking, for visitors to share your site.

Good luck!

Just another info product where you pay someone money to resell the same product to make no sales as everyone else is offering it or you can get the info for free off of YouTube!

I agree with user MichaelMelen. Reviewing others before getting yours will make this forum section more productive.
