Spend no more than 5-10 seconds on the home page of our site. Is it immediately clear what we do?
Yes, your website homepage clearly communicates the purpose of your site and services.
What do you find bothersome? What do you like?
The homepage is lacking graphics. It seems boring. There is also wasted space towards the top of the page between “Email NOW!” and “All-in-One Email Marketing Solution.
I do like the color scheme. It is pleasing to the eye. I also like the absence of advertisements in the margins!
What do you think of the sign up process?
I was unable to complete the sign up process. See comments below.
The first time I filled out the fields, I clicked on the Anti-Spam Policy link at the bottom of the screen. When I clicked the back button (the Internet Back button), the system did not retain the information I had already entered. I had to enter all information again.
Repeating the same sequence of events with accessing Terms of Sevice OR Privacy Policy and then pressing the internet back button also cleared out the registration information from all fields.
The second time I filled out the fields (along with the “verification code”) and clicked to Submit. The system noted an error with the Preferred Username field. The error under the field stated “Please enter a valid phone number.” The field is clearly for the user name and even the tooltip to the right of the field defines this.
How do you think the site compares to other similar sites/competitors like mailchimp.com and boltmail.co.nz?
Please share any additional feedback/comments you might have.
To recap, the homepage would be nice with some type of professional graphics. Perhaps some on subsequent pages within the site.
Is your logo the text, Email NOW? Have you thought of something more creative?
A back button that does not wipe out previously entered information on the previously accessed screen.
Fix the registration process so I can continue to review the site.

Don’t like the “graphic” on the upper right corner. It looks like the way we try to insert interesting text in a PowerPoint presentation. It doesn’t look professional.
Bullet 2 – “optimisation to “optimization”?
(comma insert) “tricks, and advice”
(comma insert)Â “sending, and more”
Bullet 6 -Â insert period at end of sentence
Bullet 12 -Â “thrus”…is that correct?

There’s no doubt that email marketing works. In addition to the traditional email marketing (mass email) one should look at another marketing opportunity and that is the emails we all send from our corporate email addresses every day. I represent a company that has developed a solution for just those emails and thus this post.
The basic idea behind wrapmail is to utilize the facts that all businesses have websites and employees that send emails every day. These emails can become complete marketing tools and help promote, brand, sell and cross-sell in addition to conducting research. Wrapmail is available for free at http://www.wrapmail.com
Hi Lnoe,
A good set of feedback there. Thank you for that! We have modified the things you have given feedback on with some exceptions still to be made.
I am still thinking on why the history is being wiped out when you surf email now website. Are you browsing with Firefox private session? We have fixed the registration form and hopefully everything should be working fine.
The Logo text is “Email NOW!” and I am still wanting some ideas to implement on making the site creative. What do you reckon?
Also regarding the homepage, it contains lots of rotating banners, were you able to see this? Did the banners rotate, if not, was your javascript for the browser turned on?
Thanks
Roshan

I am using IE 8.0.6001.18702.
I will check out the registration and get back to you.
The rotating banner was not working, but will check the javascript.

I got to register, review, and submit.

Should PayPal be spelled as it legally appears? It is lower case on this page.
The tutorial section link is empty when you click on it. No videos or help yet.
Javascript is enabled. I thought I would share my settings just in case one of the other settings could be an issue:
Active scripting-enabled
Allow programmatic clipboard access-prompt
Allow status bar updates via script-disabled
Allow websites to prompt for information using scripted windows-disabled
Enable XSS filter-enabled
Scripting of Java applets-enabled
The website is specifically designed to operate on Mozilla Firefox, Chrome and all but trying to make every single element work for Internet Explorer is time consuming but we will do so in future. Can you please try using the Firefox and see how it is? We have rotating banners 🙂 hope you like it! Thanks for the efforts!
