Sienci Site Feedback

That’s a brilliant comment Jeff, never thought to explain it out like that. I’ll head back and try my hand at this new technique :stuck_out_tongue:

If you’d like I can give you a hand with it some time. I’ve got some practice turning a phrase (although not turning wood… yet…)

It’s really important to try and ā€œput yourself in the customer’s shoesā€ and look at how s/he would look at the website. That’s hard to do when you’re deep in the forest and engineering focused, but it’s really important. It wasn’t long ago that I didn’t even know what a Z-axis was so it can make it very intimidating for first time CNC buyers - even if they are experienced woodworkers.

Also, check out www.wistia.com. I can highly recommend them to host your corporate videos and you can use the viewer consumption data (how long a video gets watched on average, where most users abandon the video, etc.) to hone your various videos and convert more window shoppers in to buyers.

Let me know if you’d like to discuss offline sometime.

Thanks for the offer Jeff :+1:

I’ve made some more changes today, and will likely be making some further changes tomorrow. I think I’ve added some more wording that makes better sense in the main description.

I was planning on posting back to this thread once we’ve made some greater leeway with the website improvements to see if anyone wanted to toss in some further comments; so far it’s just been changes to the shop.

Another thought…

ā€œThe LongMill is a powerful and affordable hobby CNC router perfect for any workshop.ā€

I don’t think you should demote it to just a hobby machine. I would say: ā€œThe Sienci Longmill is an affordable, powerful, compact CNC machine suitable for home or light professional use.ā€

I’m geting .05 precision on mine (after finally getting things adjusted, still need locktite) which is very accurate and repeatable. Lots of small shops or shops that only need a CNC occasionally could use a Longmill (given the price point). Don’t be so Canadian and undersell yourself quite so much.

We’ll talk, there is much to learn, young Jedi. :slight_smile:

If marketing then it should be more along the lines of: The Scienci Longmill is the most powerful and affordable machine in its class.

Too many adjectives bogs people down, no more than two to a sentence. The machine is one sentence. The use of the machine is a second. The class of the machine is a third. Etc. This is from psychology not from me.

Twitter has destroyed the human attention span.

Hi all,

I just wanted to write a quick follow-up to this older thread: Aleks and I finally released a new home page!

We’re still working on other aspects of the website and some tweaks to the home page, with many ideas in mind thanks to all your feedback, but for now we’re very pleased with the work we accomplished on the new home page :slight_smile:

Check it out!

hey, that’s cool. on mobile the menu seems a bit jumpy - maybe it’s just nervous?

I’d love to see an easy ā€œmy accountā€ link, but maybe I’m just overlooking something obvious.

otherwise very nice, well done
