Hi Guys,

I recently started a new company selling a generation meter for solar installations. The meter has GSM communications and can profile energy generation, plus I have a nice web front-end coming shortly so people can log in to get some pretty graphs and numbers.

What do you think of the website? Im keen to get some feedback on layout and content.

i like the footer, but the header seems a bit to big. My suggestion would be to decrease the size of the "logo" as well as contact details i.e just make the whole header smaller to keep it looking less white and empty. Also the shadow kind of effect on the menu makes the white font look shiny and weird. :) Apart from that i quite like it, its simplistic and straight to the point this is good if its geared to the general public and not other companies, as you probably are well aware of us public are kind of simplistic :) haha
 
The logo is chopped off at the top of the "C" for me.

It's the same in IE8, IE9, FF9...
 
Thanks, it was built to a budget so theres a limit to what can be done.

The logo is slightly chopped at the top, i'll get that fixed.

I agree the header is a bit bulky. Will slim it down a bit.
 
I would shrink the 'Smart generation meters...' section and move it up into your main header:

Then you also have 'contact us' next to the contact details.
 
It's a good base to start from, but I think you need to come up with a plan for what you want to do with the site. At the moment it looks a bit like you just have a website because everyone else does.

For a start you should add some calls to action on to each page to highlight what you do and the specific area of your business that separates you from the competition.

You should also create a logical flow through the site, where people read about you, find a product or service that interests them and finally contact you about it.

That is exactly the mentality I had when I spec'd the site - you gotta have a website so just get one made.

Not exactly sure what you're thinking by calls to action... I agree that there is not enough flow to guide visitors to the products and services. Ive got a few ideas from whats been said above so will get them implemented and report back here.
 
I posted this a while ago and have since made some changes to the website. It now uses a wordpress CMS so I can alter the content and add pages whenever I want. And uses a WooCommerce shopping facility integrated with paypal for payment.

Im still getting uses to Wordpress and haven't figured it all out yet. For example I dont know how to make the featured image in the product page non-linkable as I dont want visitors downloading the large meter picture!

Appreciate any feedback on the design and content. :)

The logo is still cut off and you still have the contact us way down the page rather than towards the top.

I thought they were both being changed.
