With the busy Christmas season just around the corner....(Ok, it's actually not, but for business people who need to prepare, it is!) I thought I should do a full review of a website so that some of you newbies who want to make some money during Christmas can get a feel for what makes for good website design. Today we're visiting the GreatFX business cards website which offers a wide array of free business card templates as well as business accessories and resources.
First Impressions
As we know, first impressions count on the internet. You only have a few seconds to capture the interest of your customer. My first impression of GreatFX was good. The design is very professionally done and I immediately knew what the company was offering. There's enough contrast in color between the sections of the page and information doesn't get lost in the design. You never want your design and color scheme to overpower your message. With this website I can't say that there is anything that I didn't initially like about it.
Easy to Navigate
Can customers access every page of your website from your navigation bar? I found it easy to navigate through GreatFX's website from the left sidebar. Generally you'll want to put your navigation bar on the left, but some people choose to put it across the top, which is fine. However, keep the nav bar in the same spot on every page.
Information and Uses For the Product(s)
I like that GreatFX has articles on business card design and marketing. You always want to provide useful information related to your product or service. For example, if you sell skis on your website, maybe you could give tips on the best places to ski or offer info on how to clean and take care of skis.
Overall, I like the design of GreatFX's website. On a scale of 1-10, I would give it a 10!
Which reminds me, I do need to stock up on new business cards! GreatFX prices are pretty decent. I've paid $39 for 250 business cards before, so $28 for 250 cards from GreatFX isn't all that bad...
