1. A little larger body. It's a little skinny, so just extend the table out a little farther.
2. More consistent fonts. The main font is fine, but if you could change the fonts for those spaced out lines at the bottom, to one single font, it would help the unity.
3. Link colors. Make the links so that they don't all underline, but change color. It is more attractive.

Thanks for letting me tear apart your site!

Thank you for tearing it apart..
All good, I never said I was a graphic artists but I have been implementing all these changes slowly...

I think I might as well hire someone to do this as my customer base increases..

It's the same thing. Any one of your visitors that uses the reminder service becomes a records on your database. The reminder service will work for unlimited users/records..

The true power is in the information that being captured through this mechanism.

It's a win/win... Your visitor wins because they get something they want, you win because you visitor returns at the time of their buying cycle and once you see the value of this application, we all win...

I hope this help,

What constitutes a record? One transaction or one user?

I have tried to word this many ways, maybe you can help..

The 3 users on the trial account means that you can view, manage and export only the first 3 records in your account. This DOES NOT means that we stop capturing the information and/or stop reminding these customers..

The reminder service is FREE for Life. The list management portion of the service is the what I am limiting in the trial account.

In other words, user #4,5,6 ect;.. will be captuted & a reminder will be sent but in order for you to manipulate this data you will need upgrade your account.

and once you see the value of the service; YOU WILL ..

This service is a unique way of capturing TARGETED data....

Hi Remindme,

The trail I took on ur site was...

1. Home
2. Taketour
3. Tour1, 2, 3, 4, 5
4. Register user

I've gotta tell you I love the idea. I think it could sell like hotcakes!

Criticisms:

First and foremost I don't like the graphics. Sorry, no offense. I come from the packaging world so to me graphics mean everything. Most of the graphics seem to be severely pixilated. On the tour, it appears as if you took screenshots of your product, then pasted them into a program the equivalent of Microsoft Paint. I think that will be a major turnoff for some people as it looks unprofessional.

Secondly there was a point where I was a little confused. The beginning of your tour states, "Click the 'Remind Me' button below". However, I saw a button that was flashing, "Reminder" "Free" "Service". I wasn't sure if that was the "Remind Me" button so I spent some time examining the rest of the page to make sure I wasn't missing anything before I clicked on it. If you are going to call it the "Remind Me" button then you should probably put "Remind Me" on the button. I would make it look just like the actual "Remind Me" button in your software.

Finally, I was a bit dismayed at the duration of the free trial. 3 uses doesn't seem like a long enough evaluation period. It tells me that this guy really doesn't want me to try his product, he just wants to offer something so he can use the "free trial" as a selling point. Then that makes me think that this is not a trustworthy merchant. (I am sure you are trustworthy, I just probably wouldn't think that if I were a potential client).

Hopefully that gives you some ideas. I hope I didn't come across harsh, I'm not sure how to give a meaningful and honest critique without sounding harsh.

I don't mind registering for the product itself-even if it is a free trial. That is a good thing. I just would rather not have to register just for the tour. That's all. If I new how to set up a demo tour I would help you but I have no idea how to do that. Just making a suggestion to not have to make people register for the quick tour.

I am concerned that you needed to register in order to see the tour??
It should very well be readily available for all to see??

Thanks for the feedback..

and yes, It is a great tool for any etailer.. my customer like it..

Great Idea! I have tips about content and layout

Hello!

The reminder service that you offer sounds like a great idea. If I understand right it is a reminder service that you e-mail to people to help them to remember to come back to your site??

If that is the case this is a great service, and I am thinking about signing up, especially since you offer a free, no-credit card trial. That is what I found most attractive about the site. The free trial. I am a sucker for free trials.

Also, I really like the “Benefits of the Reminder Service” page. In fact, I would suggest taking the first paragraph of your home page and putting that on top of this page-and making the “Benefits” page your home page. I think the way this page is laid out is definitely more attractive than your home page.

In fact, I like every page on your site Except the home page. You know why? The font colors on the rest of the pages are way more consistent, and the color schemes of the pages are very attractive. Something about the home page is “Just not right”. I think that maybe you could have a partial lead on what is now your “Benefits” page to an article that you would want people to “Read More” of, and you would signify that like this (fictitious example not related to your site):

This is a cool product, and this is why. This cool product will help you in a variety of ways. This cool product will definitely make you smart, popular, and will help you make a ton of money. This product is also helpful because it will make you an honest person, and will help people to remember you...
READ MORE>>>

Also, thought I think I have an idea of what the reminder is supposed to be about. I gather it’s kind of like a newsletter alert, but I am not really exactly sure from reading through. I think it is better to state boldly and specifically right away what this product is.

For example, this is a “Cool Product”. The purpose of it is to make you better known. Being as direct and to the point as possible is what people need (as I am writing this I am thinking I should talk my website is not even done yet, and it’s launched already, and in search engines). I hope this helps.

Oh, I should mention I just click on "Take a Tour" to see what else I can find. This is a very useful tool that most sites should have. I am going to see what the big deal is about the reminder right now...

Okay...I went to the tour page...and...this is one thing, no offense, that I find frustrating about alot of sites. Please don't make me register to see a tour. I would be likely to leave as I almost did.

It is better to have a guest username/password demo set up so people can actually see a tour, before they give their personal info. This would be better if you choose to have a tour. This is a great idea though. I can tell.

Sincerely,

Julie
