Student Suds revisions completed!

brilie54

I took everyone`s advice and changed up the copy. I have more changes to make, but thought these matters were the most pressing:- Made the font darker and bigger on all pages. - Changed the homepage content. Shortened it, took out a lot of the jokes, and added in bullet points with links to sign up. - Changed the "services" tab at the top of the page to "Sign Up!"- Changed the "How it works" content. Shortened it, took out many of the jokes, added in a paragraph about our discretion, and tried to answer some of the questions you guys had. Please let me know what you think of the changes. I look forward (I think) to the critiques!www.studentsuds.com

brilie54, this is such a wonderful concept! I love the site and I did not know services like this existed...  I`ve been out of college for a while, but where were you in 1993!?   Being a graduate of  UCF, I can`t help but root for ya!!!  Go Knights!

The way my site is set up....I put in the price of the product, and it automatically inserts it into the description.....ie $239.99. I will ask my web developers if I can change that, but I think it`s pretty solid as far as the e-commerce program goes. Craig, when you say the copy still needs work, are you still talking about the sentence with the `taboo" in it? I really don`t know what to replace that whole introduction with. I think its a good lead in, and I think if I change it a little bit I will need to just wipe it out and start from scratch. I`d love to see an example of what you`d change.   : )

Your site has improved considerably from what I saw a week ago, and as a parent, I would now want to know more.  I hope that you have plenty of appropriate meta-tags so that a Google search will find you in a couple of years when my kids start going off to college.The second paragraph on the home page is still your weakest point in the site.  "Taboo" bothers me  The literal meaning of "taboo" doesn`t fit the context of the site or your service.  The humor in your supporting pages is appropriate and it does add to the feeling of "family" (temporary mom away from home).  Surely you can do better than something as abstract as "taboo".  (Yuk! comes to mind when I think of burning up two or three hours to do laundry.

I don`t know if I missed it last time or you just added it....but I
found the "participating schools" block on the front page of your
website.  TOTAL bummer that you don`t have it out here in LasVegas
yet....siiiigggh....maybe contact student government at College of
Southern Nevada, University of Nevada Las Vegas & Nevada State
College.  Perhaps they could get you in contact with some budding
entrepreneuers with in the school to get your ball rolling out
here! 

   Although I still absolutely love your idea, I still say
you need to play up gift certificates / gift cards.  I`m still not
seeing that?   That`s a lot of money for someone who`s in school
full time and working part time and they have normal bills as it
is.  Having a laundry service is a luxury.  You`re excluding
a big majority of students I say with the price, but I know you`re not
a charity.  Gift cards or certificates that family could purchase
on-line for their soon to be college student I bet would generate some
more income for you.  Hit up the high schools with on line flyers
or even mailers close to senior graduation to get the word out about
your services - AND GIFT CARDS that mom, dad, aunt, uncle, grandma
& grandpa could purchase for them.  I sweeeer too corporations
have got to love gift cards .. can`t tell you how many I`ve lost and
not cashed in on.  

Best wishes to you!!
