Asking for help with my new website

Featured Replies

Ok where can we start.

 

Colour - does not work,

Animation - Almost works,

Typography - does not work,

Slide shows - To fast,

Content - check your spellings, take out the slide show that consist's of a car stuffed with 'junk'. Give your content room to breath. Minimize the clutter. Add some feel of luxury or at least quality.

Logo - Get a designer to create one for you and build the corporate image from it.

Layout - Pages are too long and try to cover more than one topic on each page.

 

In short it looks and feels D.I.Y. which when dealing with businesses or professionals that would be looking to rent apartments of that type will not sell anything.

 

Personally I would seriously consider what your priorities are, from the website you have at the moment the page gives the impression that the smaller details can look after themselves and all you care about is the pay check. If you want to get paid for the properties you are trying to let out you will need to invest and look professional. Demonstrate the ability to be professional, at the moment with the D.I.Y. look there is no hint of professionalism. You need to do some serious research, yes businesses do want to ensure their staff/customers are well accommodated but NO they don't want them to be dropped off in a swank looking apartment and left to fend for themselves. If any business is going to spend money on quality accommodation they want to know that the services that go with that accommodation are of an equal quality - cleaning, cooking, transport ect don't appear to be mentioned. If such services are mentioned then they are buried in the miles of content that is about you.

Thanks for your review

The purpose of the site is to convey that I built it

But I will try to improve everything you say

Thanks again

Sorry?

 

I thorght the purpose of any website was to convey the purpose it was built for, was it built as an example of what you can do in web? If no then it's not doing it's job.

 

Your whole site and the domain for that matter need a rethink, in web the term 'hosting' that you have placed in your domain means hosting a website, you should do some research on other websites that do what you are doing on that site (of which is not entirely clear)

 

As a designer I can only say you have nearly everything wrong, it's squished up, there is no contrast and entirely confusing, even your logo needs to be redone, how about simply using the middle bit? The building? And get rid of the flowery outside design, I don't see the relevence in your product.

 

Think about giving your content pride of place, not your social network links, they were the first things I spotted.. They are already on your site, why redirect them elsewhere? Social networking is good but it, well nothing should take presidence over your content, if your content is distorted by any design element, get rid of it.

What is your website about?

 

The domain has hosting in it and your are promoting housing services?

 

The site loads slowly and the slides are very fast.

This looks like a Wix site. Surely there are templates reflective of what you do? If this is the route you want to take - which is not the best but is an option.

I would recommend you to look around for competitors websites and then try to build your website more user friedly and dyanamic then it is now. Also, loading speed of website is very low.

It's always good to check the competition and try to match or be better, as for the speed it's certainly a little low, try pagespeed service from google it's worth it.
