First Impressions
[note]========== BEGIN - First Impressions ==========[/note]
I can't say that my first impression was very good when I looked at your site for the first time. You'll see why when you continue on with the rest of the review. The only good thing I can say is the fact that your site provided information about your products and services on the main page of the site and I didn't have to spend a lot of time looking for the information that I needed.

Design Quality
[note]========== BEGIN - Design Quality ==========[/note]
One of the reasons I didn't get a good first impression from your site was this. I had to go back and look at my past reviews because I had thought I reviewed your site once before, however, that wasn't the case. It turns out that I've reviewed a site called "Volact" before and they are using a "theme" or "skin" that is almost identical to yours. I would recommend changing up your "theme" or "skin" completely because it just makes it look like you and "Volact" are copying one another (Note: Please, do not misunderstand what I mean. I am not accusing you or Volact of copying each other, your sites just looks too much the same with that particular "theme" that you are using).

Very Poor
Originality

Not only are you using the same "theme" or "skin" as the other site I mentioned, you both have pretty much the same niche'. When I normally write a review for someone, I don't normally compare their site this closely with another site. I can't help but feel a since of deja vu when I'm looking at your site. I'm not saying you should give up on your site or get a different niche'. You need to make your site stand out more from anyone else that has that same niche'. You could offer a discounts or have a sale on the products that your site has to offer, which I can see you are offering 30% off (that is good). Another idea would be to offer a wider selection than the other sites with a similar niche'. You can also offer some type of referral program. When someone that is using your service refers someone else to you instead of your competitor, offer them a percentage off their service or give them 1 month free (or something to that effect). If you are going to share a similar audience with these other sites, make them have to compete with you for the audiences' attention and time (and money).

Very Poor
Site Structure
[note]========== BEGIN - Site Structure ==========[/note]
Your site looks good as far has how things are laid out. It provides important information regarding the products/services that you offer. The navigation bar at the top seems a little small to me (not trying to be too picky here, sorry). When I'm trying to view a site, I like to see everything and be able to find my way around the place.

Grammar & Spelling
[note]========== BEGIN - Grammar & Spelling ==========[/note]
I couldn't find any grammar or spelling mistakes. Everything is spelled correctly, at least to my knowledge. The one thing I might change would be the little red tag on the right hand side of the screen....it says "Off 30 Percent" and I would change it to "30% Off" if it were me. That might seem a bit confusing to some people, especially if someone is looking at your site and speaks English as a second language.

Excellent
Final Remarks
You don't have a bad site, however, there are a lot of things that I would change if I were the owner of such a site. I don't think you have enough to capture your audiences' attention or take them away from your competition, and that is something that I would really work hard on if it were me. I wish you the best of luck to you and your site!
