thank you

(i'm currently working on centralising the page and darkening the text on the navigation down the left side)

no worries,

The site is under construction and i'm always looking for ways to develop it better. We will be advertising it properly within the next few weeks.

The meta descitpion is:
Corporate Running is a personal and group running based fitness training health service which aims to reduce business stress and improve health

and keywords are : Corporate, Running,Fit,Fitness, Run, Running, Health, Stress, Depression, Business, Gym, Exercise, Athletics, Healthy


If anyone can find any errors in the code, please do say so and i can try and correct them.

Marketing
We are targetting business, those who earn larger salaries and have the disposable income to pay for our service rather than private gym memberships that don't often get used.
we're looking at all abilities and all working ages not the retired.
we're qualified to look after those with disabilites
we want people who have an interest in sport, it's our job to motivate them further.


Why is your site different from sites selling/offering similar info/goods/services? Why will someone want to do business you?

We offer group based running services for businesses. Rather than going to workout individually


the site is mainly about informing the public of our services and then also has an area where individuals can purchase fitness sessions to link in with group based sessions we already have in place

any feedback on the design is welcomed please. positive and constructive critisms

i hope that clears things up better.

The website is easy to navigate, very straight forward and to the point but I think the design could look more professional. Regardless it does the job.

the basic look of the site is very soothing. kindly add a daily or weekly update section on the front page, it will help you in SEO

I like it. If you've done this yourself and your not a web professional then you should be very pleased with yourself!

Would I use this site?

As a London business man I would be put off by the lack of pricing information.

I also think that the banner looks American. I love America but their design style is different. The people round a table thing doesn't really work. A new banner could revolutionise your site!

Hi Bill

I'd second EWD's comments - a few changes along those lines will do wonders.

Also, I strongly recommend that you lose the animation at the top of the page. The quality is low and these days no professionally designed sites will ever have this kind of animation.

In general I would try to focus the site a bit more. Think strategically. Who are you aiming at, how will you engage their attention. Look at every bit of the site and ask 'if I dropped this would that matter?'.

Just a few thoughts... good luck!
