kscccs Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 I work for a small non-profit agency and have been put in charge of the website. Our company goes through Niko Software for hosting, template, and webform purposes so we are limited in what we can do with the site. I am struggling because everyone in our agency is VERY opinionated as to what should be on the site. My boss doesn't like to disappoint so he makes me put EVERY suggestion on the site. I am trying to convince him that more is not always better. Please take a look and give me any and all suggestions. THANKS! www.kscccs.org Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/209381-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
radar Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Knowing that you guys are limited in what you can do only fuels the fire. The overall design of the site is something I would expect to find on a free templates site. the quality, professionalism, is just not there. As far as information goes, having different pages for different forms of information like is there currently is a great way of putting more content on the website. but on the same token, end consumers hate to read. now while in the line of business this website deals with, reading is essential, for if they had read before odds are they wouldnt need the website. So, adding the information that is vital to the websites success and vital to the knowledge of the clients is the most important. adding other pieces of text isnt necessary. also remember the wording 'makes you money' works better in sales than 'make money!'. remember that consumers are lazy, and dont want to do anything these days so when doing your online type, word it for that purpose. also i would find a new host, i can recommend a few just let me know.

Get a professional design agency to start over on it. It looks so dated it is untrue. If this is supposed to be an advert for your company it does not give a good first impression.

JasonLewis Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 I'm agreeing with neil.johnson, the website is very lacking. Most noticeably is the fact that its built with tables, not CSS. Bad.

KevinM1 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Ouch. Yeah, that's pretty bad. From what it looks like, there was a rather generic template that's been shredded with items that don't fit and look ugly (plain Times New Roman everywhere, the 'Online Classes and Resources' (seriously, what happened there?), smooshed Facebook images, boring stock images...). Overall, it looks very amateurish and dated. Like something from 1998. If I was in need of consumer credit counseling, your agency would not be my first choice based on what I see. I'm also curious as to why the site is written in classic ASP. No one uses that any more. Use PHP, Python, or, if you're stuck with Microsoft, ASP.NET MVC. Whatever you're paying Niko Software, it's too much. You're getting ripped off.
