Please visit www.navshack.com and tell me what you think. It's pretty new and would appreciate any suggestions or comments.

I think the site is looking good. It has a nice clean layout and nice color combination

Just try to make the font style uniform because you use two different font styles

Make sure you finish adding content to all of your categories. What you have so far is good. But, some of the categories are missing the content - clicking on the link simply takes me to a page of products.

Nice looking site and overall performed well and was easy to navigate. There were only a few things I would consider adjusting (and one bug):

1. Move the Email sign up toward the top of each page (above the Categories heading?). This will bring more attention to it.

2. If you enter an email address in the textbox for the email sign up (on the main page) then hit the submit button you get a page that says you are subscribed but it also goes to the page to enter your first name and email address. A bit confusing...

3. If you go to a category page (like Weather) then click on the Email sign up button you get a page cannot be displayed error.

4. If you do not enter anything in the first name and email address when signing up for your mailing list then hit the add to mailing list button you get no error message or indication of what inputs are required.

5. Lastly I would add a rollovers for your navigation and any hyperlinks on the site. Personally I think this helps your users know they are on a hyperlink and where they navigate to if the click on a navigation image.

I really appreciate the input and catching the problems. We'll address them right away. We're a little disappointed in the amount of traffic and just searching for anything that will help.

[navshack]

We made the suggested changes to www.navshack.com and addressed the problems pointed out. I would really appreciate a new assessment if you will. Any input is greatly appreciated.

The headers in left menu should be the same width as the menu. Using Firefox they look messed up. Also, where it says:

Stay Informed with technical articles, product support and special offers.
Click HERE to create your account.

I would change it so it says:
Stay Informed with technical articles, product support and special offers.

and make that one line link. I would also make it so it's underlined, so new visitors know to click it.

Thanks - We'll try and fix the menu but we don't have Firefox so may not be able to see what you see. Also will address the "Account" situation and get back to you when we're done. Anyone or anything else is appreciated.

There is a way to check, go to this page: http://browsershots.org/

Tip to make this work faster, or for just Firefox. Under the listing of all the browsers, click "None". That will remove all the pre-selected browsers. Then just check Firefox. I would try 3.5 and 3.6. Takes a few minutes to complete.

[navshack]

Thanks - Will do.

Navshack,

If at all possible, get Firefox and review all your pages with it before publishing them. I've found that if things look correct in Firefox, they look correct 99% of the time in almost all other browsers. Firefox has become my "proof reader". If you have the time and disk space, it's well worth the effort/time.

You can get it free here.

Your site looks clean and professional. I also have a marine site.
Also see our free guides to the left. I think your site needs a bit of content in your technical article pages. We could work something out where you could carry some of our technical articles. They are generating us about 2K hits a month right now. (run us on Alexa) and might do something similar for you.

Cheers

Thanks for the input Scott. Went to your site but didn't see that many technical articles. Most of what I saw were for sale. Maybe I missed them. We have quite a few more technical papers available. Under Tips and Info you can access our blog and there are more there. We're in the process of moving them to the website so they'll be available in both places. One of our primary goals is to provide tons of value content free to our visitors. Are you having success marketing your articles and books? I'm open for suggestions and/or sharing some content. Email me at [email protected] if you want to talk.

Went to wrong site. That is a lot of info you have there. Great looking site too. Was going to take a "quick look" and ending up spending 30 minutes or more. Think they could use an electronics guy on that island?
