Muse is Up - Please Review

[HWilley]

Hi everyone -- I started on this a little less than a week ago and I'm finally finished (I think). Can you take a look at it and give me your thoughts/feedback please?

Thanks!

Good Start but I would simplify and focus on the benefits of spirulina... use bullet points and cite sources. The area about HIV and t-cells is good information but I think should be put on a page called "the science behind spirulina" or something with the clear consumer benefits highlighted on the landing page.

also, i'm not sure who this product is geared to beyond someone who wants spirulina. do most people who buy it suffer from some ailment or are looking to relieve or supplement some health condition. the website looks a bit generic and untargeted right now.

a better bottle image would be good also.

did you design the webpage yourself? if so, what did you use?

Great advice about the "benefits". I've got the text ready to go (found a native English speaker who gives me great rates on researching for & writing of articles) for the FAQ that will address those benefits -- just didn't have time over my lunch break to format it and get it up. But I'll be sure to hit up some of those benefits on the main page too.

As for spirulina, I had never heard of it until I started doing research since reading 4HWW about a week ago. It is one of those "super foods" that is packed full of vitamins and minerals and has them in abundence. I chose it because there is very little competition for the word "spirulina" on Google -- so I should have a #1-#3 position on Google within 3 months for regular searches. It is searched north of 15,000 times per month -- that alone is worth 5-10 purchases a day (assuming 1.5%-3% conversion).

As for the website being a little generic and needing a better bottle image, I completely agree. This was built for the sole purpose of testing my muse to see if it has market viability. I've already found the supplier and the pricing isn't too bad -- now I just need to test the market.

I did have a question about the "flow" -- was it simple and understandable for you to click through?

I did not design it myself, I paid a GREAT (I've done several projects with foreign contractors in the past) designer from Serbia $45 for the template. I have not found one that can even hold a candle to this guy. He used Photoshop to design the template. I can do some HTML coding and know enough about Photoshop to tinker around so those helped me save on his time.

If anyone wants the names/emails of these individuals just send me a PM (private message).

oh ok gotcha... no overall problems with the flow but if i may make a suggestion this is how i would do it something like this :) ..

- Spirulina Home (include very quick intro and brief benefits)
- What is Spirulina? (benefits and explanation of what it is - focus is on benefits though - cite sources)
- The Science Behind Spirulina
- Our Premium Spirulina Products (pills and powder on one page)
- Buy xSpirulina
- FAQ's
- About xSpirulina the Company
- Contact Us

Put links to "buy xSpirulina page" on every other page. Also, once again i would try and find out who is buying spirulina and wor to target it towards them... I would assume more of the vegan, organic, farmers market type of people as opposed to the jacked guy you have up top. If you need help just go to a few stores that sell it and talk to the people there about why people buy it and who does....

I should say that my career up to this point is in advertising and marketing which is why all my suggestions basically all relate to marketing, product positioning and targeting....

This is my first post on this forum. I haven't even finished the book yet, but I finished off the automation part last night. I took a look at your page and I am impressed. The fact that you got this up only a week after reading the book. It really inspires me.

I wish you the best of luck and profits.
