Yes. I just redeveloped the site but I'm still working on the order form. I'm trying to figure out how to get customers. I've never been good at that part. I know it's important to start with a good design so hopefully I have one.Just so we are clear what we are talking about, are you referring to the site mentioned in your signature?
I changed the site, it's all new now. I just have to get the order form done.As @Artashes asked, is it the URL in your signature? If so, and the screenshots I've attached are valid, then you don't necessarily have a signup problem but a branding and marketing problem.
Maybe there's a CSS issue happening and I'm not seeing the site right, but either way, you've got issues on your site long before you should be thinking about marketing. Anyone coming to this site, it's it's current state as attached below, they're not going to sign up. They probably won't even click the link for "service" as I did.
It's not been selling anything after being up quite awhile so I figured it needs a better look. I updated the site today.If Host Moves is the site you are asking about, then it would rate among the most confusing experiences I've had when it comes to web hosting company websites. Besides development issues, as Conor with @bigredseo mentioned, you need to think about redrafting the site itself. Currently it is not even clear what the site is selling. At minimum you need to get a web hosting focused template where you'd present your key hosting plans up front. You also need to tell a story about your company: who you are, how long and why you are in this business. With an abundance of companies out there, trust is an essential element in customer decision making process. If your website cannot communicate that you are committed to this business and your customers 100%, you aren't going to turn it into
While the design is important, it's not the key driver of success. I've seen companies that have a minimalist approach (no graphical design at all), but are doing great, because they know how to operate with content.Yes.

Thank you for your input.While the design is important, it's not the key driver of success. I've seen companies that have a minimalist approach (no graphical design at all), but are doing great, because they know how to operate with content.
I see the improvement, but to me, you are missing the target when I land on the website and still have a difficult time understanding what it is you do right away. It takes a full page scroll down just to get to the development/marketing talk. But still no mention of web hosting and no visible hosting packages anywhere.
I don't suggest wasting the precious top-of-the-page screen real estate this way. Instead, tell the people in the most direct way what the company does and make sure you have at least 1 featured hosting deal offered.
I understand about not marketing the site until it's complete. I was apprehensive about getting a template with a link at the bottom. I could write the page myself but this saves a lot of time. I have been considering getting a paid template. I have one somewhere for another hosting company I operated in the past for about 12 years. It's brighter also and I am considering using that instead. Thanks for your input.Please be careful using a free HTML template that you found. I know it's great to use free ones, but if you're being forced to keep their copyright on the site, you're broadcasting to your potential clients that you're not willing to invest in your own site, let alone servers.
If you need to get started quickly, grab a basic web hosting template from templatemonster.com or themeforest.com. You can pick one up for $30-$70 and you'll have a basic starting point with things.
I'm guessing you're just starting the rebuild process, so I'll not pick this design apart, but please be sure that if the template you're using says that you did "x" or are doing "y", then you are actually doing it.
For marketing, you can't do any of it until you get your site ready - it's like advertising a store but there's no lights in the building. Lets get the site up and running and fully optimized before you put a dime into adwords, links, reach out campaigns or facebook.
I just got done developing a new site. I think this one will be a LOT bettter.Hi...
To attract more customers, optimize your website for SEO and leverage social media to engage with your audience. Start a blog and use email marketing to keep customers informed. Invest in online ads and collaborate with influencers to widen your reach. Encourage customer referrals and positive reviews, and use analytics to adjust your strategies for better performance.
I'm working on marketing now also. In the past I let other people know in various ways. I joined ministry sites and put my URL in my profile. I don't have money for advertising so I am working on using free alternatives. You can build a site slowly this way. Buying paid advertising can help you build it faster.I'm in the same boat! I can relate this! I recently started my reselling business, and struggling with the marketing a bit. With so much competition out there, how do you separate your self?
More importantly, if you figure out what makes you the best match, finding that ideal client is tough! This is my current issue!
They say in marketing, specific is terrific though, happy to brainstorm with ya!
