Feedback please guys!

Hi guys,


The site I am working on is a data aggregator which scrapes golf data from a variety of sources and then our algorithm uses this data on a live basis to calculate the best golfer to put your bets on for a given tournament. It creates a forecast for where the golfers will finish and then compares the predictions with the bookies odds on the market to workout the best value bets.

The algorithm has been live for a few years now and is proving quite profitable. Would be good to get some more traffic and conversions on the site now!

Please could you take a really quick look and let me know if there's anything you would change about the homepage from a user perspective?

The site is http://golfforecast.co.uk/


Cheers

The site works for me here in Australia. In my opinion, I think your site's okay. I like the way that you've used that specific green colour continuously as your background colour of choice throughout your site. You're site's also clear and straightforward as well as being mobile friendly.

I'd start by saying how much could I profit on a £50 starting investment. One sentence, big bold text. Simple numbers, no math. "If you started with £50 in 2018 you'd have £2494 now". Below that, go into more detail and explain ROI, stake per point, number of bets etc.

And you need a CTA button below that. "Subscribe for £1 today"

It also doesn't say which payment methods you accept. I don't want to click to find out. Tell me right away is it Paypal, do you accept cards and which...

The "Golf betting tips..." and "Make the best golf bets..." text is vague and doesn't really give any info. If you'll have a headline, keep it as short as possible to let the user know what's going on. "GolfForecast algorithm brings you mathematically sound golf tips" would be better. Or something like that.

Also, the "More info", "Home" and "Blog" menu seems out of place. No need to have that in customer's face.

I actually clicked the More Info button and it turned out to be pretty important! Change it to "How GolfForecast algorithm works".

You have a problem with the logo. You're using a SVG image that first loads fullscreen, visibly (at least on Chrome), and then it's resized to fit its container. Use a smaller bitmap image that already fits the container (or is 2x or 4x the container). I understand why one would want to use SVG, but in case of a logo, you want a bitmap image that can be cached. This one seems to be loading all over again every time.

Use some other color than green. Especially for the CTA, once you put it up there.

I hope this helps.

Good job. I might subscribe.

Thanks so much Dan, some good points there!

Yea I'm not sure what's happening with the SVG.
It's a flash of unstyled content so it's not the SVG's fault but rather the css not rendering immediately, maybe a cache thing- it's only recently started doing that...

You should! The algorithm is working well and i'll be increasing the subscription prices before the end of the month.
