Is my content page better now? - GoFuckYourself.com

I have this problem. You can see it on my affiliate program, and now to a lesser extent on my content page. When I am presenting info, especially text, I don't know where to stop. So you get pages and pages of info... I am working on that particular problem lately.

So, would you say my new content page is any good, in terms of getting across info without drowning you in it? What would you improve?

Well i think it looks great

Lighten up the color of the dark purple text a bit because it's hard as hell to read on the black background.

By the way, nice content

the layout is good, the color scherme is bad...
use smth else, that dark purple irritates my eyes... light yellow maybe...
also remove the*****************'s banner, they're out of business..

I appreciate the comments on the font color. I will work on it, as I was wondering about that myself.

I take it from the comments that the site is no longer a disgusting hive of long-winded information? Cool.

It looks very nice... but when it comes down to using it, the interface isn't all that intuitive. Might want to emphasize where the menu is, maybe provide a text menu alternative, etc.

My hope was that the inline text links to each section would be used more than the menu. If you read through the text, it pulls you aside when you get to the right point.

It may be, given your comment, that that isn't working. Though it may be the kind of thing that depends on who is reading it... Someone who wants content, or someone checking out the design. I'm open to ideas, though.

That's a no-no in usability.

Put a menu for those people who don't have the patience to read through text.

Except that this page is an information page. How can you use it, if you aren't willing to read through text? (Should I have a sign-language version?)

This site isn't an automated content shop. What it comes down to is this: It's a guide to how to buy content from me. It can't do its job just by click-click-click, you have to read something at some point.

I am wondering what I can do to make it any more streamlined. The menu is there, people can see buttons to get to the main things they will care about: The sets, and the price. Beyond that, they will need to read anyhow.

Frontcover look's good...colors a little moody, goes well with the content style...Only thing I don't like is the white background color for avalible set and samples....why don't you make it light grey...

Otherwise

I have just added a "Guided Tour" that can carry you through the whole process of the site. I think it may help the interface situation.
