Hi,

Tell me what you think about it...

Hi Somona, welcome.

Since you asked, here are my thoughts...
• I find the site a little difficult to navigate.
• I think there is too much emphasis on being artistic, not enough emphasis on the what you're really selling, which would be you.
• You really need a 100% English version of your tour. It is far too large a percentage of the online world not to have one. Billing would also need to be in English for that tour.
• many of the sample thumbs are a bit small, full size samples they are linked to are WAY too large.
• No watermarks on full size samples. Put your site URL on everything!
• Even the very large full size samples seemed a bit fuzzy to me, out of focus or over compressed.

Hi Toby,

Thanks for all those comments, and I will try to resolve all...
So, for the artistic emphasis, it's a problem of redirection of my website...I wanted to make an artistic project, and I realize that it is a little bit difficult to be artistic and seller at the same time...
The problem of the language is about to be resolve....the first version was in french ( the webmaster was french )...

So thanks for all...I have work :D

it's definately not a typical paysite, looks decent but i'd agree with Toby, it is definately not optimized for easy navigation imho

[somona]

What can I do Jscott to optimized this ?

hmmmm, i'm not totally sure, but i can see it appears sloppy when i first glance at it, the menu is funky, and it's not centered

just some honest thoughts :)

What can I do Jscott to optimized this ?

Several things come to mind.

First, and the simplest, is a common navigation menu on all pages. At the top, the bottom, on the side, exact postion isn't critical. Put it where works best with the design, but put it on every page on the tour.

Second, a consistent look and layout to all the tour pages. The specific content changes but the basic layout is the same from page to page.

Third, and the most important. There is a psychology to pay site tours. It's far more than just a series of pages that show samples of what is in the member area. Both text and image/video content should sell the site, not just be presented for preview. The layout and sequence of pages should lead the surfer from one part of the page to another and from one page to the next, all the while keeping in mind that the goal is to lead them to the join page.

Remember, you are in control not the surfer. Lead him to where you want him to go.

great advice Toby, i especially like this comment:
" Remember, you are in control not the surfer. Lead him to where you want him to go."

EDIT: sorry i had copied and pasted something different before LOL

Oki...

Thanks a lot Tobby and JScott for all those precious advises..
I would like to know more about what you find sloppy, to have an idea about that...
Should I less glitter and seperate members and free previews ?
That way after going through the free preview and wants to join then one goes the member file....

Thanks again....

Hey somona,

Thought I would offer some advice as well... You should clean it up and simplify it. The site is noisy and distracting... lots of flashing and animated gifs but quite distracting.

As Toby mentioned there are a lot of fuzzy and distorted thumbs and this can lead potential members that the quality of your pictures in the member area is the same. You want those to be as clean and crisp as possible.

Thank you Suckerpunch,

Ok, I have just finish remodeling my website ( with a little help...;) )
I took your advices and worked on different ideas...I think this one is teh good one !
About the quality of the pictures, that's definately a problem of compression, and I work about it....

And I work...:D

Thank you all again...

Somona :)
