What you've done you have done very well. The whitespace thing could be used up by promoting yourself and your webpage maybe. Don't be shy about telling folks what you do, they came to the site, that's your chance to say "I do this"

Interactivity!

Your page is too static, try using CSS and/or rollovers to add some interactivity to the site.

CSS - Links
Rollovers - Navigation tabs up the top

The image of the phone on the left is too dominant, it takes the viewers eyes away from what really need to be seen - the content. Reduce the size of the image because I also find that I have to scroll down a bit just for find "
About Us | Security | Contact | Login" and the bottom of the phone :S

As mentioned, you need a better logo for the site, just a bit of text saying "pixconnector" is not (in my eyes) very appealing.

For the white space - I think white space is good but has to be used sparingly, too much and the page looks boring.

Some things I noticed:

* You have an appropriate layout for the ammount of information on the site.

* You seem to have a color scheme however your border colors on some tables are changing thoughout the site.

* You could really use a logo design and it would be nice if you could have your front page without a verticle scroll since you don't have too much there.

* There is quite a bunch of white space so re-arranging your elements might be a good idea.

* In my opinion you could use some more cell padding in those long thin pages because it would make reading easier (especially with the thick lines).

You really do have a base for a good design here. Now you just need to work with the spacing and using the full page effectively.

Thank you for very good comments. I'll have a look on the design issues raised.

Most phones sold today have color display. Some markets, especially US, is a little slow in the take-off when it comes to mobile phones. In Sweden, for example, this is the current list of most sold phones (counted by units)
1. SONY ERICSSON T68 GPRS
2. SONY ERICSSON T200 GPRS
3. NOKIA 3310
4. NOKIA 5210
5. NOKIA 6310 GPRS
6. NOKIA 3510 GPRS
7. SONY ERICSSON P800 GPRS
8. NOKIA 3410
9. NOKIA 6610 GPRS
10. NOKIA 6510 GPRS

As you can see, 5 out of 10 phones sold last month has color display. Counted in revenue, it is 7 out of 10 phones sold today. The percentage is increasing every month.

As you commented on demographic data, I presume these facts may not be commonly known, is that correct?

Moreover, Josh commented "to show its worth the cost". I'm not sure what that referred to. For the partner, there is no cost. Do you refer to the end-user value? If so, maybe I should refer to the the fact that the end-user site has delivered 1 million pictures already? Other ideas?

Good comment of having a summary. Should I put it on the first page or on a separete flip, in your opinion?

Im sure ive visited your site sometime in the past!! Page looks a little random and where you have cut the pictures of various phones. You can see white behind then not the background colour. I know its a pain to fix but gives a far more professional feel to it! Good domain name and good content.

Im currently in the process of exchanging links with a few companies to improve search engine ranking. If interested, let me know- Jon

maybe im techno deficient, but i dont have a video type phone. around here they will run you 300 dollars and outrageous fees for usage. As a prospective business/past marketing exp, you need more demographics, not just 18-36 men. income, receptiveness to product placement over the phones. im not saying it wont work, marketing in general is insanity^nth + a little funding. i think you need more statistical to show its worth the cost. -Josh

I would make the left soccer phone smaller to fit the page on 800x600 so you dont have to scrool down to see the rest, and on your images, make them have shadows, they look out in space in my oppionion.

Use a better header besides just plain text across the top also make the blue lines on the top go all the way to the left and right sides using the marginleft="0" and marginright="0" ... looks like a great deal your giving out.

also maybe a small pharagraph explaining your product, how it works, and stuff. cause i dont have a clue how to sign up or where to go to get signed up.

(I have reviewed other sites)

Thank you, but I was more curious about your opinion on the actual service. The front pages are only to introduce the service, for site owners were I haven't had my sales people go visit the partner, providing this on paper.

It looks a lot like paypal.
