Looks like just about every generic software product website out there. I wonder if it actually comes in a box like that or if it’s a download.

Oh.. wait, you got paid? :(

Well, I can’t offer you money directly.. but indirectly you can get $2000 by reviewing my blog.

I’m bad too, spank me back! :)

I don’t think they use variations of the word “manage” enough in their intro.

Wasn’t a ReviewMe entry, they contacted me directly, but I added an update because I have no problem saying they paid for this design critique. In all honesty I remembered putting it in the entry, but then unremembered when I was done. Update added.

I read your article first then prepped myself, hit the link, stayed for about 15 seconds and hit the back button – not because I didn’t like the site, but to be able to come back and give my first impression of it.

Nowhere on that page did I see what the main benefit of the product was. The site seemed disconnected with no starting point for my eye to fall on and nothing to lead the eye to the demo or order button.

A page with nothing but a stock photo of a happy executive, a demo button, an order button and a ‘more-info’ link would at least portray a benefit – a happy user.

That website screams two words at me: “corporate” and “boring”. If that’s the effect they want to achieve, great.

To me, I find their ‘flow’ is broken.

And after going through page by page, I have to agree there’s something about the colorization that makes it feel dull or dated.

I don’t know about them, but I’d have stuck with a minimum 12px type size at least.

That marquee kills me… one random quote at a time, please! And the logo needs to be refreshed… it doesn’t have the simplicity that it needs.

Amy Hoy recently wrote an amazing article that would really help these guys. Unfortunately, it has disappeared off her blog. You can still read it from Google's cache: Slash7 (scroll down to "Pimpin' Products Ain't Easy")
