Hi,

I need your comment and suggestion on my landing page :
http://www.medexpressbenefits.com/005-register/register-landing.asp

Also, I have 2 questions :
- Is it a good idea to have the first page beeing a provider lookup or should I start directly from page 2 ( enroll me page) ?
- Isn the information easy to read or should I change the way I displayed it on the page ?

best,

[maffmommie]

Looks good. Expect for that big ol' white space under the provider lookup.

Hey SebMedex -

My screen is 1024x768, IE - There are some alignment problems. Not all the borders (from div to div) line up correctly. There seems to be a 3 to 4 px space between each occurrence. Also, the padding for the left box doesn't seem consistent. Looks like the left side has padding of 0 while the rest is 3 or 4. (I'm eyeballing that, not checking your code.)

Hi -
There are problems galore - no !DOCTYPE for starters...
check your code via w3c html validator. When the javascript
kicks-in for form errors, it breaks the layout [see attchd.] and
the FAQ pop-up page: none of the links to 'top' work, so it's
really difficult to use.

Navigation must be more prominent: currently, it's the least
noticable thing on every page. The colors are fine, but there's
too much of the same without a break - top 3rd of page. Try a
background on something, somewhere...

Keep going!
El

Here's a screen shot:

You might try cleaning out your browser cache, then looking at your page. Sometimes that can lead you to see things that others aren't seeing. :o

Good Luck

its soo confusing, i dont know where to start reading... you got to many columns, keep it simple and divide it more - i dunno its just not working out, if a user cant work out the site between the first 30 seconds they will leave...

do you have any idea / layout with all the info I have to put on the page ?

Hi,
do you think I should remove the bottom left table containing the benefits savings and info as this information is also in the Benefits page ?
This way I will have only one big box at the bottom of the page that will contains the forms.

Since that information is really necessary to pull into prospective clients, it would probably be better to retain that.

All the blue text - there's just too much of it. How about reducing the size of some of the text below the headings?

The banner graphic is really busy, in of itself. Breaking that up might help. Plus, it's not good to have a huge image containing descriptive text. If it fails to load, part of your message will be missing.

Hi,
I reduced the size of the blue text and removed some text inside the Banner.
Could you give me your feedback on that ?

Thank you so much

[SebMedex]

I replaced the Blue backgroud with a light orange one.

[KDLA]

Sorry, but it looks the same to me: still busy.

Why don't you get rid of the line "Enrolling today will save you and your family..." and put the info. in the bubble ("Limited offer....") in that spot?

do I have it now ?

[KDLA]

It looks better. You might ask some others in the forum what they think, like dera.

Hi,
I made some changes according to your comments, please review the page again :)

Thank you so much for your comments,

[LJK]

Hi -
Hey, that's looking MUCH better! Definitely more professional.
To note: some of the rollover 'glows' aren't working on a few of the side links.
Also - is there a Home link, anywhere? You can certainly see a difference
beween this updated version when you go to the Sign up Online page!

That banner is pretty cool Flash - but you need to go and remove all of the
extra comments that some program you've used has inserted into your code.

Nice job,
El
