Review my homepage www.charitydispatch.com

Donate A Car To Charity -- Charity Dispatch -- Donate A Car

I’ve posted for a review of this site before. I just rewrote the home page to give it more word density and to better explain why my company is better than the competition. I’m looking for comments on content and design. If you have any SEO advice I’m all ears as well.

first impression of the website is that it is dull and intimidating. Also I see no registered charity number. Also even I cant be bothered reading all that bulky text, So i definately think a lazy browser who happens to come across your page will not be remotely interested in reading it all.

Apart from that, what does your business do ?

What would you think about using a live actor from a company like: Caputo Creative

I was thinking that they could bring a little more life to my site.

What is a registered charity number? Are you asking for the tax exempt tax ID number for each of the charities I work with?

Thank you for your feedback

Roger i also have to admit there are some problems with the site as Matt has mentioned,i had a go at reading it but lost interest even as it is a Charity site still i went to hit the Exit button i think it is too long winded and need to be reduced in size KISS comes to mind Keep It Simple Stupid :-) also as it is Charity related it must have a Charity no of some form and it has nothing to do with tax no or anything like that but if you are Registered as a Charity they will give you this No if you dont have one gut feeling tells me you wont be able to use it in the Headings of the site.As i dont live over the Pond i am not totally sure on that issue.

Regarding the Charity no's here is a link to a Charity site at random Tenovus and the No is right down the bottom on the right hand site

Hi, I checked through your site, and actually read it this time. I think that if the idea was re-branded, and had a lot of top quality marketing behind it, it would become very popular. But you would have to put alot of money into marketing it.
One question: How do you make a profit from this ?
