I've posted at "Website Review and Suggestions " and I was sent here (with a warning... whatever, didn't understand why!)

I have an admin panel for sale and, I need some help (suggestions)

1. What do you think about the demo.
If you would need an admin panel, would you buy mine?
http://admin.vectorialpx.net/demo/

2. Tell me if you can understand something from my videos
http://admin.vectorialpx.net
(especially the first and last one)

Thank you!

So far, it looks good. I'm not a fan of using admin panels (besides PHPMyAdmin, if that counts), but from what I see, it includes some good functionality and looks clean.

I would recommend a voice tutorial for the videos. If somebody wants to buy something for $50 from you, a customer would feel much better knowing who you are, or at least what you sound like. if i typde liek dis and slurred ma wordz brah, ya wudn't trust me. A simple voiceover would greatly benefit sales, and also greatly benefit less-experienced viewers trying to install an admin panel.

Remember, people using admins panels probably don't know exactly how to do what they're doing in code.

Other than that, I must say that the website looks very nice and professional! The circle/reflection things at the bottom give the website a creative yet professional look, which I really like!

EDIT: An easy way to make your videos better, without re-shooting, is dofollow (bad SEO jokes) these steps:
  1. Voiceover
    • Voiceovers GREATLY benefit every video. Chances are you've watched one of those 'Notepad tutorials', and although the content may be good, it's generally boring to watch. Spice it up by speaking. You just need to be professional about it, and not be too casual, in your case.
  2. Zooming / Dynamics
    • I hate to say this, but if you watch any of my videos (sorry for the advertising!!) I zoom in and out of the text editor a lot, to give emphasis of what I'm talking about. If I'm talking about a certain function, I have a little arrow point to it. Little things like this keep the viewer watching to the end to see what else will happen. It sounds cheesy and unlikely, but it works.
    • Static camera is usually boring, unless it's a gaming video. In your videos, you have a huge potential to zoom in and out of each window you're talking about (file manager, web browser, text editor, etc).
  3. Titles
    • I don't mean subtitles. Titles are text boxes very similar to the annotations you're using now. The problem with annotations is that they don't work on mobile platforms. Titles are built into the video themselves, therefore they always work. You can emphasize parts of what you're saying in empty space on the screen with titles.

http://admin.vectorialpx.net/demo/ I like the look of the page. I'd question the second para - too specific and it sounds negative. I'd also question the ordering and content of the bulleted list. However, the biggest problem I can see is that you don't have a startling USP to persuade me that I need the product or need it over the free alternatives - which is a shame as I heartily support independent developers. Sell it to me.

About the voice... I tried first time but, I sound like a broken car engine (my voice is not so soft) and I also have an accent. I wanted those videos to be like a nice presentation and, after I made my first video "with sound" I didn't like it at all. So I gave up.

Didn't mean to write so... if you can see something like this, give me an example - English is not my native language but I'm doing my best

Thanks for your video-advices. I will try to add the voice (I know it's important).

Paul,
It's true that the second paragraph it's a negative one (in a way). In fact, it's just realistic... I don't want someone to buy it and to expect at something that will not happen. Physicsguy said something about phpmyadmin... this it's way different.
About the ordering of my list, I must admit I didn't think to much. If you think at a better ordering, type it - texts or like 2, 3, 1 ... .

About convincing you, that you need the product... I don't know.
I will need some marketing expert - some developers, like me, don't have this skill
My biggest asset was/is those videos (like "it's easy and useful... you can see this") but I will think of something more creative.

Thank you!
I really needed someone "from outside".

Vectorial, that's not what I meant at all, sorry! Your English seems perfectly fine to me, I can't tell its not your native language! Your grammar and spelling are better than some people in my 11th grade English class, (sadly). Also, accents are fine in videos, everybody has a different voice, but of course it's your choice.

I'm not professional at all with my videos, that list is just what I do.

I feel like such a jerk, I am so sorry.

Neah.. it's ok.

I do some mistakes sometimes and, I thought I did some in my "advert" (I panicked for a moment) and... when you say something stupid on a forum or on Facebook it's not a big deal but when you promote your product in a stupid way, it is.

Anyway, you are right, sometimes I tend to talk like a familiar guy and, in this case I need to be an official one. I have to be careful or, I'll have to record over and over

For anyone who view this,
About the price, do you find it expensive?
My target are "developers / companies that will code without a CMS and need an admin solution".
