Hi All,
Have spent the last month building a new prepaid card comparison website - Prepaid365 - www.prepaid365.com and I am keen to get the views of all the wonderful people on this forum.

The site is mainly a comparison site which lists and reviews prepaid cards and provides a basic comparison of prepaid cards in the UK.

I would appreciate all and any comments you have on the site design, structure, functionality.

You guys are the gurus and this is my first venture - so please be kind in your criticism but thruthful with regards to how I can improved this.
Once again, the site for review is www.prepaid365.com . Direct link to the comparison section is www.prepaid365.com/compare-prepaid-cards.html

Cheers

Ash

Apparently, kind isn't my thing. But hey, truthful I got down.

First Impression

"The logo's not that noticeble."

Design

It's a really nice design, actually. I would seriously just increase the logo size by like...3px? Make it a little more noticeable. The links in the footer are a bit excessive (is that the site map? Just create a site-map page.) and the same comment about the main navigation. Perhaps consolidate all of those packages into "card plans"? It really is well done.

Content

Nice typography. Interesting idea. Is this selling other pre-paid card carriers? Because if you're starting your own prepaid card, that seems just wrapped up in legal issues and complications. Finding where you go to learn more about the cards requires some digging. Perhaps make that a little more obvious? Like a "find out more now." link?

Would I Use It?

Not right at this moment, but maybe. I'm not in need of a pre-paid right now.

Overall

Very professional work. Nicely done.

Hi,
This is awesome feedback and appreciated! You are right about the logo and to be honest, at this stage, it is more about the name "Prepaid365" as we dont really have a logo. It might be the next thing on the agenda if the business model that we have works

The links at the bottom - well, its actually to cover up flaws in the navigation because I wanted Google to index the card pages and was not sure if it would do so from the drop down menus, etc. Alos looked at a few other comparison sites and it seemed like a good idea. The small font and grey text are simply meant not to distract from the main site but also provide our friend, the googlebot, with a direct link opn the homepage itself.

At the end of the day, the site is simply an affiliate site, selling other companies cards so the legal hassle is not mine and the disclaimer sorts that out.

Thanks again for your valuable feedback

Cheers

Aashish

I really like the overall feel of the website.

The only question I have is what type of prepaid card is it?

The kind that allows you to buy goods.....it is a mastercard prepaid card - so essentially you can use it to buy at 25 million locations that accept mastercard.
