Hi all,

just launched our new website at http://pardooz.com.

Done by my wife in Web Designer, of course. Any feedback is welcome, and so are your orders...

Pretty nice and clean. Some specifics:

Fresh and colorful, perhaps here and there a bit too colorful (e.g., not too happy with the pink buttons on the Xara3D product page).

The text on the "Upgrade" button is not centered and I miss a mouse-over effect on most of "those nice & shiny" buttons and drop-down menus.

Really like the pop-up on the Upgrades page when you click "What's included".

As I understand your payment schemes, Pardooz doesn't accept credit cards. So, the banner with "We accept Visa etc." would be misleading.

When I opened your website, I did so in a reduced-size window, so at first I couldn't find the buy buttons at the bottom. Perhaps you could put them to the side of the product description. I also think your website is a bit wide for quite a few monitors, forcing people to scroll.

I didn't understand why the Canadian flag picture was linked to Xara's download page on the XWD page. By the way, if you're a reseller for North America, wouldn't you also want to include the price in US dollars?

Under "Products" you list also products that you don't sell directly. This is confusing. Moreover, these links take the visitors off of your website.

Sorry for the long list, but I'm having a hard time "doing what needs doing".

Thanks Boy, some good points you made; we'll make some adjustments.

As I understand your payment schemes, Pardooz doesn't accept credit cards. So, the banner with "We accept Visa etc." would be misleading.

This banner refers to the fact that these cards can be used with PayPal. Perhaps we'll have to emphasize or re-phrase that. Thanks again!

Hi Vidi -- Interesting site! I never saw anything like that before.
I live in a town called Mermaid so I found it especially intersting to see the Mermaid designs.

Hi Danny -- When I first launched the site I was seeing in the central area multiple text layers displaying at the same time. It seemed to just be a problem during loading because after it fully loaded it appeared to work as intended. I rather like the marketing approach - in this case the "I couldn't find it locally so I started importing it" does seem sincere. So often small internet businesses try (foolishly IMHO) to market themselves as big corporations. I much prefer the 'feel' when I come across something that reads as sincere and honest. I like your site. It seems Xara-WD offers lots of potential to make it even better and have fun doing it.

Regards, Ross

I had just gotten over my addiction to gel buttons and you caused me to relapse. See you in court!
Great site!

Not so much a website, but a single page. There will be more. Now approved by my client - fits in with the opening of the clients main website.

I and others have mentioned that XWD uses a HTML subset to do it's magic and as such is limited in some ways compared with other web software. While that is true, this page shows a layout with text flowing around images (pretty basic) that would take much longer in most other programs (particularly DW CS3), which would probably mean I wouldn't have layed out the page with irregular graphics. Thank you Xara - perfect for this little job.

Just a heads up really. If you are curious and go beyond the page, the rest of the site is authored in Flash (not Xtreme flash).

I had a comment about your website, VIDI (http://www.mjmedia.de/dancingmama/). Your nav buttons in the rollover state cannot be read (at least not by my eyes). You may want to consider picking colors that provide greater contrast between text and button.

One thing Scotty, before you go too far - that primary blue background just kills my eyes, makes me run away - and fast.
Please use a gentler colour
