Redeveloped my whole site. What would you change?

Looks pretty cool, just too much going on for me.

Thanks for sharing mctweb! Enjoyed taking a look at your website and thought I'd drop some feedback here. First impression is the design feels very professional with a unified design throughout, however the motion graphics in the open move a bit quickly to read all the copy, and the "scoll" button on the far right wasn't immediately obvious.

Diving into the services page, I'd suggest cutting the copy by 50% and reframing from "My/I" to "you" value-driven statements. For example, under Plan it reads: "I will get to know you, your needs and gain an understanding of your users. I will use this time to gather most of the information required to plan the project and create wireframe sketches so that the vision can be shared. I believe this is an essential first step to ensure that the end product will meet the requirements."

Maybe try "Turning your vision into reality starts with a plan. As a first step, we'll get aligned on your needs and we'll create a blueprint together - from understanding your users to wireframe sketches - and get aligned on the end product at the start."

Hope this is helpful feedback and thanks again for sharing! :)

To add a comment roughly in line with everyone else: I think that the video is impressive but it's overwhelming at first. Unless you are solely developing video/animation-style websites (which it doesn't look like you are?) I might save it but not make it autoplay.

It depends on who your target is though. I don't think I'm your target.

Ugh, that is really nice Fraser.

Without much words, the intro animation screams "I can do really cool shit for your website."

From my limited design knowledge I really like the overall theme of the website.

With that I would look into some copy changes. When I first landed on your site and read the first heading I didn’t know what the page was about. I had to scroll down and read about the different services you provide. I would do everything you can to provide upfront what you can do for your customers. Having to hunt for something like that will really hurt your conversions.

One of the areas I would first start with copy changes would be the first two headings and the following paragraph.

When writing these sections you’ll want to show you understand there pains, fears, doubts, etc. After this you want to guide them by showing you can solve those pains, fears, doubts!

Something to go along with this is to keep the conversation about your customers. Yes it’s nice to highlight your experience and knowledge, but ideally you want it to be about your customer and how you can solve there problem(s).

Also to clarify I don’t think you do what I mentioned above, it’s just something I wanted to include for reference. :)

If you want specific info on something let me know!

Really nice polished landing page. I really like the colors you went with as well.

I did find the video very visually pleasing, but in terms of information I think it confused me a bit:

• Wasn't super clear to me what your specialties were and what area of focus I should expect to work with you on.
• My first thought was that you were showing off the type of work (animation/video editing) that you specialized in.
• A lot of information was present but only appeared for what felt like a split second so none of it sunk in (could be me as I am just now drinking my first coffee of the morning :D)

Overall, really impressed with the polish of your site!

Hey Fraser, site design is good but I think you should focus more on your copy to help people understand what you can help with.

The header animation is novel but after watching it I'm still not sure what you can help with and why I should work with you. What type of companies do you work with? What outcomes do you help them achieve?

A super simple header that says something like "I help {business type} {outcome} with {your services}. E.g. I help event organizers increase audience engagement and build loyalty with custom websites. Not a copy expert, but based on my experience, specific and benefits-driven copy is better than purely descriptive copy.

I was trying to click on the animation for sure.

I would personally changed the 99/100 lighthouse score. My OCD would be killing me. JOKES. It's a greats score dude.

Perhaps add some examples of work on the home page? Or make the brands you've worked with more prominent.

@mctweb great website, it looks beautiful, and the video at the top was a lot of fun.

One comment to add: I wasn’t sure what your website was for until I scrolled down and got more context - (oh you’re a web developer!).

One suggestion for the tagline (out of many I’m sure you’ve already considered): “Got a big idea? Let’s build a website together.”

I found it a bit confusing initially, I was waiting for the animation to stop so I could see the rest of the page, once it got back to the start I thought to scroll and it became clear that the animation was just the top banner.

Once I was past the above the site is nice in appearance and responsive. So pretty nice.

I would echo some of the below comments, I'm not sure what the packages you offer are, but as long as your clients do then that's all that matters.

I love this 👍

Looks great! However, a couple of suggestions

Testimonials aren't standing out - adding heads to names could help - brains work in a way to just scan - so while doing that - it looked like a large text area without a heading or separator. Do not expect the viewer to figure out stuff.

I am not sure of the titles given for services, never actually asked anyone to build websites with that titles (Acclerator website, Brochure website) - Talk in terms of customer/client - those could be your classification of websites you build, but what would a customer search for.

Make sure you build website to be discovered (inbound leads), rather than just as a portfolio website that could be passed on. First way gets you gigs that keeps you busy all life and never have to look for work.

Hi mctweb, What did you use for the animations. It looks like an action movie. Well done.

Hey @mctweb, I'd love to take a look at your landing page but I can't find the link. Where can I find the link to your landing page?

Cool but bad user experience when I land on it since all I see is animated slides moving too fast and I have no idea what is going on (brutally honest). Then I scroll down and realize that you provide Website Building service and you are trying to sell using the fact that WordPress is not a good choice.

With all those animations etc, the site loaded super fast though for me in the US so good work there.

I would remove the animated slides and just have a simple section with a tagline or clear message that tells me what you do before I do any scrolling. Also, your messaging is not very clear about what exactly you provide other than the fact that WordPress is not a good choice. Focus on benefits and not features. Hope this helps.
