Maybe think about moving the CTA boxes at the bottom of the page to the top, the centred text on the home page makes the page look a little out of kilter too. Don't get me wrong I've seen a lot worse.

I know it may be part of the brand but I'm not sure the pink works in large blocks

Let me know if I can be any questions

+1 for Christopher's comments - make sure your CTAs are very easy to find.  I'm also not a convert on the pink... honestly I thought it was a cleaner's website or something similar when I first viewed it.

Tend to agree with the above comments. You need to make better use of the landing space on the home page (the part of the page you first see) The boxes at the bottom of the website are more interesting to somepne coming in to have a look rather than the text.

Whilst I'm not a complete fan of the pink/pastel colour scheme, I'm always a fan of different, just can't work out if this looks like a 'different' accounts website in a good way (if you get my drift). Far too many accounts websites are boring and formal. Whatever you do break away from that, although as mentioned maybe not with PINK!

Thank you for your comments guys! 

I knew the Pink was high risk when i chose it but it was a choice based on how dull and boring other accountancy websites look.  I just wanted to stand out and be different.

In the near future I may change the pink to a different colour just to see if it helps make the site look better.

Cheers!

Dan

It's not that it's pink I think it's the type of pink, maybe a more intended pink and used as an ascent rathr than in large blocks , sometime using your 'stand out' colour mor selectively can actualy be more striking .

Let me know if there is anything I can do

Agree with most of the above.

However it is certainly better than I would do.

Couple of points:

1) Too much white space on home page.

2) Too much text on the main info on home page, find a way of condensing or hire a good copy writer. This also causes the boxes to disapear off the edge of my screen and I am on a v large monitor with tiny resolution. on 1024x768 this means the last thing you can see is the "get in touch now"

3) The bit with the "Tax Deadline" in it seems like an odd location, I would move to the right above testimonials.  

4) Remember people spend about 5 seconds deciding whether to stay on a web page or not, so get your message across clearly and simply in the first page that your visitors will see.

 

Good start though!

Do you rely on email for business?

Do you manage email on multiple devices? eg: laptop and smart phone?

Are you sick of wasting time deleting mail and managing your calendar on those devices individually?

Drop me a line or and email and find out how you could save time and money with the Office 365 cloud!
