Do site colors influence buyers?

Hi

I run a successful business selling Subaru performance parts at and was wondering whether I should change the colour of the site from a rather dark blue to a lighter colour (maybe white) to encourage buyers to part with their cash!

Any comments? Am I talking rubbish! Should I leave it dark blue?

Thanks

Neil
 

Hello!

What about having a template that allow you to change
the main colour easily, once a month for example?
Thus, looking at the statistics, you could perhaps
find a colour suitable to your customers/bank account.

Part from that, the top-right side is hidden when on 800x600 (no scroll-bar).

Was I talking rubbish too? I hope not!
BTW, could you tell me how many orders you have in a month?
Have a good day!

 
Hi mate,

What Sleidia mentioned is a very good idea if you want to test the colour schemes..

I just had another look at your page and noticed a few things other than what Sleidia mentioned..

800x600. Navigation is not clearly visable on the first page unless you scroll, why not have the image as an enter link as well?

You also need to check your code as there are loads of totally useless font tags that serve no purpose..

The pages you go to on the non-frames links at the bottom have no navigation.. What happens if a user enters one of these pages from a search engine? They are most likely to close the window and go to another site..

Hope this helps Wullie
