Thank you, Ayat, for reviewing my site. You make a good point about the checkmarks. I thought they were cute, but I’ll lose the animation for credibility any day! I’m a little unclear about how the title fails to portray the site’s message though. Any suggestions? And, a quick question about the call to action being above the fold. I’m OK with just gaining a subscriber to my newsletter in lieu of an immediate sale. To that end, I now use the lightbox effect from Aweber to show a signup box on page load. Would that count as being above the fold?

“Above the fold” is what is first seen, so I agree, it’s imperative that the reader has an immediate understanding of what the site is about. Unfortunately, I make this mistake many times.

It’s great to read some quality tips such as this. Until a few months ago, I didn’t even know what a “fold” was, other than when my wife said “fold your shirt”.

Great information!

I agree with that tip about “being above the fold”. That is so important. Out of interest where did you get that statistic? (It does seem true though)

Yes, “above the fold,” is something I regularly forget to keep in mind. I often assume everyone is viewing my site on a similar sized monitor and resolution. It’s a pain, but you have to design for the masses. I hope 1024 x 768 dies out very soon, but then again, I remember coding for 800 x 600 not too long ago! Nice tips in this post, thanks.
