Hi redguard,

I think that your product sounds like a very interesting idea (unique, too!), but your site somehow doesn't seem professional enough. I think the usage of the Comic Sans font really hurts. It generally is associated with amateur websites, and especially with the font so big, many people may be turned off by that. Anyhow, your English is very good for a non-native speaker.

BTW, do you live in Shanghai? So do I!

I think you hit the point

Hi Redguard,

Here's some more IMO's:

The overall appearance is good. IMO, you have used too many fonts and too many font sizes. Uniformity would make it look nicer.

Load time is good. I suggest you make the Purchase button on the home page a link to the BuyNow page. I didn't find any nav problems. You might let surfers know if it works with Outlook Express in your FAQ section. Some of the links are a very light blue which is harder to read on a white background, so you might consider making it a darker shade.

A couple of times, a nav button would disappear with the mouseover. This might have been a problem on my end, I'm not sure. If no one else has this problem, then I wouldn't worry about it.

With the proper advertising and optimization, I think you could make some money off your site and your product.

I think your English is good. However, I suggest that you get help with making it all correct. For a business site, it's imperative for the grammar and spelling to be correct, no matter what language it's in. (When you have enough posts, you could ask for help in the I Need Help forum. You might offer some advertising in exchange for the help.)

Keep up the good work.

Dave
