    retractablebannerstands.us

    I've put this site out for awhile now but I want it to be reviewed so I can improve it.

    The site needs some work. The idea sounds good, but the image that you portray from your site design isn't the image you want.

    - What is the name of your business? Is it "Retractable Banner Stands"? I can't find the name of your business on the site.
    - The banner on your site has nothing to do with printing banners, or stands.
    - The nav bar is wasted. Put Services, or Products, Terms and Conditions, Contact Us, About Us. Stuff like that need to be in the nav bar.
    - You can have the categories slide down from the nav bar, instead of having its own column.
    - You need a logo. Having only text on the website, gives it a very unprofessional look.
    - Lastly the site is bland. Try another template. Something that looks less like a template and more like a custom site. Like i've posted on many others, check out Themeforest.net if you have no other options. Dreamtemplate.com has great templates, as does Templatebox.com. Check these out.

    Your site is an investment. Its the only way online clients will recognize you and its their first impression of your business. Having a nice website, a web 2.0 design logo, and an easy to use user interface, your business' image will flourish.

    How have sales been so far?

    In my opinion I think that the domain name is too long although it does contain keywords relevant to your product I would go for something shorter a catchy name maybe. Also I'd use a .com instead of a .us.

    What's the name of the business? Find a domain name with the name. Do you have a name?

    I would recommend finding something shorter than that. I'm sure you have probably searched around, but I'm sure there is something shorter than RetractableBannerStands.us available with a .com instead. Where in LA are you located?
