Review for recently purchased site

Hi,
I just bought this site, I have my developer doing the SEO on it now, but I am looking for some input as to what would make it better for the end user.

Buy a franchise

Good design, good color scheme very professional looking, but not too salesy, which is a bonus, I surf through so many site a day that the moment I see flashing banners etc I just click out. Nice purchase!

Seems to be very busy. My eyes have a hard time focusing where to start.

Nice simple design though.

Your website is very good design, but I think the font in the bar "Browse By Industry" is too small to read.

I like the design, it's clean and tidy, looks very friendly and inviting

But I suggest making the font of categories ( in the Browse By Industry block) a little bit bigger.

Best of luck!

It reminds me of the add pages that popup when you mistype a url.

As far as making it easier for users, try putting your pages in your own folder. For example http://www.modernfranchises.com/articles.php could be made easier to navigate to directly by putting the php file in a folder called articles and renaming it index.php. This would give you http://www.modernfranchises.com/articles and would make it easier for potential customers to go directly to the information they need.

Clean and professional looking site, good colours I like it.

The design does look professional but the first thing that I saw when I opened up the site was the green banner. I would reconsider the choice of background color there. It is not consistent with the rest of the site.
