Thumbs up Just Gave my 3 Mobile Broadband Page a Brush Up

Hi Guys

I just gave my 3 Mobile Broadband page a brush up. The page was a little boring, so I've tried to liven it up with a few more product images. I've also used more subheadings for better scanability.

Any comments? Also, anyone with a decent site who can link to this page, please PM.

Many thanks

I don't want to sound to harsh but it looks very dated, and has virtually no design qualities.

With the CSS is disabled it looks virtually the same, so it basically looks like like HTML without any styling.

Aesthetics are important when building a site, if you want people to actually use it - (This is an interesting read http://uxmyths.com/post/1161244116/m...u-have-good-us)

Recent research suggests that nearly 40% of consumers that reach a poor looking website will leave immediately.

I appreciate the comments. I must admit I mainly focus on SEO and content rather than visual design. It's difficult to tell whether the design is hurting conversion, because I'm not really tracking things accurrately enough. If you want to make any suggestions for "quick wins" design-wise, then feel free, but I don't feel a major design overhaul will be worth the time investment here.

Quick wins....well I would say look at a broadsheet newspaper and see how they lay out the content, they work to a grid system, and use white space between content and images, this makes it easier to read and find information.
