Thread: 1st Website Running - comments?

My website www.fishingleaderboards.com has been running for about 2 weeks. I've tweaked it a bit, reduced the size of some of the photos for faster loading, and other miscellaneous stuff. I've had two orders already (from folks I know - but at least the shopping cart and paypal worked!) I am really going to start pushing my marketing plan - will definitely take some time to establish traffic!

Any constructive criticism from you all would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for your great support forum and answers to my questions!

Very impresive and well laid out......what a great idea.....you should do well.

one small point, your oder form allowed me to go to step 2 without filling out any of the fields from the first page.

You might want to use the required fields facility in abvfp to avoid that.

Well done, nice site.....................

You've done a great job with the website.

My problem comes from the images of your products. To be honest, if I look at those images, I wouldn't buy- they look blurry and not of the quality that you say they are. If these are computer generated images, you should be able to get a much cleaner/crisper picture for where their names, headlines, etc go. I'd work on that - because I think it's a great product.

And I'm sure that people who know you are ordering because they know the product and how it looks - unfortunately, those who don't - are probably going to keep looking. There must be a way for you to tweak this :)

Hi, like the layout, but have to agree with Beth on the image side of things. It needs a full & clear image. You may be able to cut out part of the image for a large thumbnail & have a pop up or mouse over image show the full detail when needed.

Good luck.

Hi,

I agree with the others. The images are hard to read. Very nice looking site though. You should do well.

As a fisherman I loved your site. I know you specify that if a fish isn't listed to put it in the Other Event Information, but you've got room for 3 more!

Let me suggest.... Striped Bass for the Southeastern River tournaments

and Tarpon, Marlin, for the salty tourneys.

Well Done!

Thank you for your comments - I'll fix my blurry graphics, add the fish mentioned, and study up on "required fields" for my form.

Appreciate your time,
