Hi Stefan.
I thought the site was really rather good. I have a design for print background and found the templates and the upfront pricing to be really helpful. I get the feeling that the key to winning new business lies not with the site but with the marketing you are doing. Using twitter is great idea to build interest around your business. Are you also running a Facebook page? Have you considered adding a blog to your site? Maybe contribute an article on preparing artwork for print to some of the online article bases - These are all good low cost ways of driving more traffic to the site.

Hi Phin
Thanks for your help. I have a blog and a twitter page which works quite well so far. I haven't set up a facebook page - think I'll do this. DO you know of any good online article bases?

Ah, I found the blog link. Could be more prominent? Article sites include: http://www.articlesbase.com/
http://www.articlecity.com/
http://www.goarticles.com/

Hi Stefan,
If it helps, I found the site nice, neutral but basic, well layed out, I tried a pricing exercise on leaflets, all straight forward and obvious, I liked the drop down easy selection of criteria but when I selected custom design the cost dropped off the page (HTML fault?)
But essentially clear, clean and easy to navigate.
Would you repay the viewing favour on my soon to be launched site www.shedlifestyle.co.uk in a few weeks or so?
And I agree with Phineas, get on Facebook, twitter and and get some blog on your site. All good for SEO. I also found a hopefully superb way to get better google SEO ratings through DIGG also. All free!! I need to check that out before I post anything on it.
Cheers

Looks good, like the site impression. Navigation was easy until I got to click here on the Bleed section of supplying artwork. The link didn't work nor did the next.
Hope that helps
