Seeking Design and U.I. feedback on icees.com
Hi all,
I am looking for Feedback on a site that i have just created.
I got some feedback from friends that says: "Oh its just an Address Book, my PDA and Cell Phone can do that. I don't need to use it"
I tried to re-word the front page a few times but feel that it has stated the points clearly. Need some marketing guru to give me some pointers here.
The fact is PDA and Cell Phones can't do what the service is offering, that's why it is created in the first place. It is difficult to get the message across in the first impression. Help me out here.
If something is not clear please post here and we can discuss it, maybe we can come up with something that can get the message across loud and clear!
The site is ICEES https://www.icees.com/
Thank you for helping
Regards
Mian

Then say thatThe fact is PDA and Cell Phones can't do what the service is offering
Maybe even have an FAQ type area, "But can't XYZ already do this?" and answer specific points by pointing out where your product differs.
Also who is this aimed at? Individual users? Businesses? Maybe have a specific area for each type of user that targets their questions/needs?
One thing i've found with selling a product is that you need to immediately grab the visitors attentions by getting across your USP and killing any doubts they may have. If your front page can do that then you can go into more details in the sub pages. Also get some images/screenshots on there as they are always a good attention grabber.
Hope this was constructive enough

forgot to set background color of the page. Assumes white.. obviously. (or not
)
okay... no offense meant here:
I think the ~confusion comes from "address book" being stated many times.

- Not sure about the logo..
- Consider adding some more whitespace in between the different questions of the FAQ
- consistency seems to be an issue for the terms and conditions page, as its font color is vastly different from the "normal" color that's used on the privacy, contact and about pages; it was slightly jarring for me when I when to the page.
- Seems kinda strange having the terms and conditions open a whole new browser.
- more whitespace is needed between the sections of the terms page

Well it's definetely not useless but there are definite issues getting the selling points across (even though it is free).Is it a plausable application that might be useful?
I'd approach it as if you were selling it and then hit them with the "How much does this cost? Nothing!" type line.
I think an example useage/screenshots would go a long way here.

The service doesn't come across as being free to me.
I have no clue about this stuff (cellphone addresses) so bare with me..

- How hard is it to transfer the contacts?
- How do I transfer the contacts from XYZ to the service?
- Do the contacts need to use the service in order for them to stay updated?
- Can it order sushi for me?
- How many contacts is a person allowed at any given time?
- What's the roadmap for new features?
- What phones are supported by this?
- If my phone is lost/stolen/whatever, how do I get my contacts back on the phone?
- When a contact updates their information, does the service automatically update my phone?
