It's still a wix site, but it should be quicker now as I reduced and deleted some images from the home page and moved some of the info onto sub pages. I think it is much better now overall. Thanks to those who gave feedback previously.

Again, don't be shy, get stuck in!

Website: mindwatch(dot)company

replace (dot) with .
 
OP, try not to take this the wrong way, but it looks like so many other sites. I didn’t see one call to action, the images were fuzzy for several seconds, I am on fibre, which suprised myself.

Best of luck with it, but I think you are only going to sell well to people who already want the product, not people dropping in to see what it is about.

Thanks I will add some more call to actions. It must be wix with the speed... I will probably have to move away from them at some point, when I see a lot of bounces it will focus the mind, no doubt!

I spent longer than the average visitor would, but I still have absolutely no idea what the product is and why it would benefit me.

So asa stand alone marketing platform it fails for me, of course I may not be your target market and this may only be a small part of your marketing strategy.

And guys, tell me why you don't want to buy one because this can help every one of you. There is at least one thing that if you personally did it would drastically improve your life, one behaviour change. I didn't want to say it on the website, but, you can effectively brainwash yourself with this device and process. That's powerful.

I wouldn’t buy one because I don’t believe the hype. As I said before, it looks like a cheap piece of junk. All you offer is a timer that vibrates at set intervals.

OK thanks. If you don't know what the product does or how it benefits you that is a concern. I do want it to work as a stand alone platform.

The website won't work as a stand alone platform, no matter how well it's done. You need to think about your marketing strategy before you worry about a website.

Thankyou...don't think I have ever seen a .company website address before.

Whilst the product itself is not something I would want the website seems to be pretty clean/with clear images etc.

Probably worth having more information on why it would be good for someone - maybe with videos/case studies of some people having it work for them.

Website has been revamped and is now looking super sexy. I hope you agree! if you read this and you want to drop a comment I'm still listening and taking feedback. And don't forget, the time is always NOW with a mindWatch!

Still got the same iffy content full of unsubstantiated claims.

And it looks just the same as before.

you seem to have missed the whole point. No matter how good the site, the product itself is pointless.

I think it's brilliant

I think the site looks great too, problem is it's just too slow and the links to the internal pages aren't clear enough.

Also, the top of the home page and the product pages are weak

The photo showing it boxed it what would sell it to me, that photo need to be more prominent and shown on the product page.

Edit: It need the right people seen wearing it

Thank you for the feedbacks. I have replied all in 1 message. I hope you all get it, not sure if this is the best way to respond, but.

David said - I just don't get it? Why do I want, or need a wristband that vibrates??

Response: You want it because it can help you improve your life by helping you to control your thoughts. Through both mindfulness and focus repetition (which means, repeatedly taking a conscious action at regular intervals in order to make a desired behaviour change). Its a personal development tool in my eyes.

Fisicx - No matter how good the site, the product itself is pointless.

Response: It saves a problem our human brain has, I personally use it to improve my mental wellbeing through gratitude and to improve my productivity with visualisation and affirmation, but mostly I use it to remind me to take a conscious breath, which gets me out of my mind (past and future) into the NOW, where there is no problems.

“iffy content full of unsubstantiated claims.” Do you mean the bit about our subconscious mind not knowing the difference between imagined and real? I guess you do.. I can add examples of experiments about this, e.g. tests were done on musicians for example, those that imagined playing piano improve, is the narrative. Its why athletes use visualisation. Good point, thank you. I will add it.

Alan 1302 - What changed?

Answer: A lot of the text I re wrote or re placed in a different place making it easier to read and understand. IMO

I made it into 3 categories, 1. mindfulness, 2. focus-repetition (which is my brand of personal development), And 3. Examples. So simplified, relatively speaking.

UKSBD - Excellent, and thank you for your constructive feedback. ‘The links to internal pages are unclear’, I guess you mean the ones on the home page where the link is just a bit of text. I will have a think, not sure how to avoid that. I could make the link text a bigger font… or make it a button, or maybe just write the words click here.

I will also take your advice about adding the box onto the photo section.

“It needs the right people seen wearing it”. - yes i'm also feeling an influencer is a good idea for a product like this. Thank you.

I have lots to do, luckily I have my mindWatch for productivity! :-D ... "I am just the sort of person that gets things done!" Says to self. Thank you people, have a nice day.

It will never work while the site is so slow

I click a link, nothing happens so I click another one and end up missing what I consider the nicest page (Mindfulness Reminder)

The links in the top nav menu don't make sense (the drop down being in Home especially)
The Buy Now, Home and Support links/button are wasting space where a link to information (the Mindfulness Reminder and Focus Repetition) pages could be

I assume it being out of focus initially is intentional, but it looks bad too me (maybe because site is so slow

the Mindfulness - Focus-Repetition - Examples section on home page just isn't clear enough (I scrolled down without even noticing the links)

Need to see a few photos of good looking models and trendy looking people wearing it
Surf guys/girls wearing their leather bracelets on the beach, slipping on their Mind watch when going out for the evening.

Until the site is faster though - nothing will be any good

The site still takes 5-7 seconds even on super fast fibre to load, painfully slow.

You are still not conveying the message enough to make most people want to buy the product. I don’t think seeing the watch in a box sells anything, it would be better pictured on a wrist if nothing else.

It might lend itself to YouTube embedded advert to try and sell it better, with truthful case studies if you have any. Lastly, and don’t be offended, but your picture makes you look like a spiv from WW2.

The products not for myself, but anything can be sold to some people, but the messaging is just so vague it misses the target IMO.

It's wix. It all depends on your location, time of day and the number of pigeons on the windowsill. Completely random. Another good reason not to use wix.

Possibly, but never see it on other websites. Just ran four speed tests and averaged 75.4Mbps download.

Best of luck.

The website sold the first one yesterday, and yes I did a little dance! Thanks for all the feedbacks! Hopefully she goes on to transform her life.

At the moment my thinking is I will move it off of wix once I'm happy with the text and the layout, assuming it's selling enough to justify the spend. Wix is good at the moment b'cos I can change it all myself so its cheap.. but I do think wix have an issue with load speed, but not all the time. The images are like 4kb - 14kb so tiny. I don't think there is anything else I can do.

My thinking is I hope people will give my website a little bit more time to load, because it is not just giving you the price of fish, this is a product with the capacity to transform your life. Of which cannot be purchased elsewhere. But I will see the bounce rate when I've had sufficient visitors.

Marketing it is my next focus. I'm looking at facebook currently as I can target a very specific group with specific targeted adverts, and from there they click through to my website, but that costs money per click and I'm going to be experimenting on a budget. So I'm now also thinking about getting some affiliates to promote it, or influencers, and then they can get a commission after the sale if someone comes via their referral. I'm guessing this exists and I will need to look into it... Someone can rate that as an idea if you like. Or if you know any info about it you think might be useful.

But right now I'm looking at facebook. Thinking about maybe doing a press release too.. And will probably add it to amazon etc after lockdown.

I'm sort of making it up as I go along if you haven't guessed already. But I enjoy it, and I'm learning new things.

I don't expect they will be easy to sell, but I'm keen because I believe in the product and the power of focus-rep. It works for me so I know it will work for other people.

I've found it hard to explain what is essentially a simple product. But, for those that can remember my first draft website, this is a big improvement, and its the best I can come up with at the moment.

UKSBD - I like your thinking about the links at the top of the nav menu, I agree they will look better instead of support and home and BUY NOW. I am going to try to do this, wix permitting.

And I second the good looking models too that would be nice. I also feel the home page needs people in. Other than my own photo, which is my best suit I should add, re. MBE2017's comment :-D. Its an old photo too I have to confess.

1st target market is people into Mindfulness and meditators. Possibly all the talk on my website about focus-repetition confuses that message, but the product is multi purpose.

I may update the top of the home page when I have a better idea for it.

Thanks for the feedback and suggestions, much appreciated, have a nice day.

Paul

Wordpress is free. No cost at all. And just as simple as wix to use.

If you plan to market through facebook you need to rethink the whole site. People will want the lifestyle not the watch.

Ok thanks, I will look into wordpress, as long as i dont have to code anything and I can do it without having to do lengthy course.

The lifestyle thing I like the idea of.. a lady who has mastered her mind with the watch, ebracing the fruits of life.. maybe in yoga pants or on a beach.. or something.

I can't see a telephone number on there - what if I have some questions? The copyright year needs updating (could be automated via a plugin if Wix has one).

I think you need to have a clear demonstration of the product. To me, when I look at it I see a FitBit and as such I'm expecting it to have an LED screen. I can see the number '5' on one of the images but not on the homepage images.

Add the payment methods that you accept (in the header or footer) so that would-be buyers can easily see what methods they can use.

I'm guessing that FitBit, Android, Apple wristbands/watches etc will have apps associated that carry out the same function ?

RESPONSE: I can't do phone calls at the moment as I have other commitments, but have recently re-added the chat box which I hope is a step in the right direction. I didn't realise that about the copyright year, I have just updated that. Thank you.

Add the payment methods that you accept (in the header or footer) so that would-be buyers can easily see what methods they can use. RESPONSE: I will do this too. Excellent suggestion. It is also now available on Amazon and Ebay, but as they take a commission, I don't think I will mention that. Although I would like too, but the commissions are too big.

RESPONSE: I will address this point too on the home page, I have answered it in the FAQ but they are now hidden away in the footer. And yes you can use a smartwatch but it isn't as effective for a number of reasons. Thank you Simon-TP, you've given some excellent suggestions, very much appreciated! Have yourself a great day.
