VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

Benjamin Stovall · Posted: Tue Feb 14, 2012 8:51 pm Post subject: Back in Black

After getting some really good suggestions about how to improve my performance, I took those comments to heart, implemented them, and now I've finally got my official commercial demo and website up!

Take a gander if you have the time. Your feedback is always welcome. Special thanks to Bob Bergen and Scott Pollak. You guys helped me SO much. I can't tell you how grateful I am for your help!

1. i can play your demo (and it's good)
2. i can contact you

i see nothing missing! love the simplicity! although i'm not sure why the redundant link on the header. when i mouse over it makes me thing i might go somewhere else. not a deal killer - but since it doesn't go anywhere - i'd take it off.

Thanks guys! I wanted to get the pulse of the community before I dove full force into my marketing campaign. Unless someone finds something that needs fixing first, I plan on starting the marketing machine this coming Sunday night.

Todd, I removed that header link, as suggested. Good catch.

Nothin' there to be ashamed of....

Get it in front of the people you want to work for.

i would advise starting the marketing machine sunday night - then letting it warm up for a few days - send your marketing so it lands on a tuesday or wednesday mid-morning or early afternoon.

junk mail ("e" and snail) is most prevalent on monday mornings - don't risk being tossed in the trash with the rest of the cheap viagra & nigerian down-on-their-luck royalty letters.

for whatever reason - statistics show people are more receptive toward the middle of the week.

Yeah.

+1 to everything everyone else said.

Possibly THE simplest, most straight-forward site I've ever seen in my entire life.

I LIKE it!

Really nice, Ben.

Though you might wanna correct the misspelling of "Edgy" at the top right.

I realllllyyyyy like your site... simple, clean, professional, but with character. Can I ask who did it? I'm getting ready to overhaul my own site and am starting to look at my options.
