    Hi,
    Could someone review this site for me.

    As it’s a .co payday site I wanted to make sure that visitors didn’t question its anything other then a UK site.

    www.payday-uk.co

    Also is it all a little OTT i know the big players all seem to be gimmicky within the sites to a degree.

    All and any comments would be really helpful

    Many Thanks
    Stuart Weston

    You've duplicated the front page content from the other site you did haven't you?

    You need to rewrite one of them to make it different. :)

    You'd have to be really stuck to take a payday loan.

    The small print...
    £25 is charged for every £100 you borrow with us.
    Representative APR 1940.5%

    Ouch...

    I think that the union jack flag is a bit overkill.

    You have used UK in your logo and all headers - IMO it's enough

    There are two sets of colours on the page: the red, white and dark blue colour scheme of the background and the light blue/orange colour scheme on the page itself. I'd recommend ditching one of those, even just getting rid of the orange would help.

    Your text is too stuffed with keywords and you aren't doing yourself any favours by linking to the index page so many times from the index page - there's no point.

    Not a big fan of the faces either, but that's just my personal taste.

    Sorry to sound so negative, I think it's fine generally :)

    From an SEO perspective you should be aware of Googles new algo change which demotes sites that have little copy above the fold and are ad/image heavy above the fold.
