Hope someone can help,
Dont know much about web design- just a bit of html, so I got a friend of a friend to design a site for me. The site looks good but I'm now wondering if its working correctly behind the scenes, I'm not selling many DVD's but maybe the whole concept is wrong but I want to cover all bases- here is my site onbikescotland.com
I would appreciate it if anyone could answer a few questions, I'm going to contact the designer but would like to have some info first.
1. Its hosted at vibus.net based in Ireland but I think this is a reseller, I cant get at the html to make changes, the designer gave me Macromedia but I still cant get at the html. Should I change to a proper host where I can get a username and password etc Then will I be able to change the site myself or will I have to give the host instructions?
2. How can I find out the size of my site on the server, also the bandwidth, does this info determine the reliability of my site?
3. Are my video samples too large, maybe people cant download them properly, what do you think of the quality of the video- they are in the wmv. format?
Apart from maybe people just arent interested in buying my DVD's, can you think of any other reason maybe technical why hardly anyone has bought my products from over 700 hits- please be brutally honest, if there is no future in the site I'm going to get on with something else.
Thanks
