Constructive Criticism please

[mustang]

Hey guys,

Looking for criticism regarding the credibility of our site. Please try to give reasons.

Hi Mus,

Yes. I would subscribe, and have done.

There are a heap of similar sites though; www.startups.co.uk being the leader. However, best wishes for its success. The site seemed to contain a wealth of info relevant to all. I check further, later.
Cheers, Nigel

Hi Mustang - I had a quick glimpse - personally I'd lose the google adwords - they are ok for forums but not businesses - don't forget they are written to attract people to click them - and if your visitors are clicking on the ads then they are going to forget why they are on your site.

IMHO the newsletter box is in the right place at the bottom of the page - newsletters should be used as a back-up response if the visitor is not goinjg to buy then they should then sign up for the newsletter.

I'll try and grab a mo to look around more later.

We may well sign up later but what is putting us off is that there is no reassurance that our email address won't be passed to third parties. Your 'Privacy Policy' link (and the rest) at the bottom are not working. The sign-up for a newsletter should have the functionality for the user to sign out by re-entering their email address.

I trust this is constructive for you.

Thanks a lot guys.

handsongroup: My mistake. I will have the policy active asap.

Matrixx: Thanks Rob, will have a think about it.

fastfences: Cheers Nig. I don't think that I will be able to compete with startups for many many many months. They are made up of about 5 websites and a publishing company.
