Was fortunate enough to redesign iGetter.net, would of liked a more open design brief to give their competitors a run for their money (Speed Download)

Their previous site is here;

Their new redesign is here;

igetter.net

The store and forum remain the same (something we believed needed a radical make over).

The software developers wanted the site to inherit a look of an up coming release.

Compared to the old site, the new site is simplified, key information is highlighted and the main goal of downloading the app we believe is achieved through easy access to key sectors of the site (compared to the old website)

At the end of the day iGetter gets the website they wanted, but we believe pushing the envelop and beating competitors like Speed Download would ensure iGetter leverages itself and its core program.

We would of preferred a more open design brief, but a stepping stone none the less, this is a great program and in our non-biased view better than speed download.

@TruthConquers: It's certainly a big improvement on the old design! Looks much more professional. The main "call to action" (download) is somewhat easier to find, but I would still be tempted to put a big "download iGetter" button front and centre on the home page. (You could also use IP geolocation and user agent detection to preselect the right version of iGetter to download.)

And yes, I agree that the store in particular could do with a makeover.

Another small point - I'd make the logo link to the site homepage.

Hope that helps!

Hopefully when they ready for the next step I can implement some more features.

The logo should link but they preferred not to, at least its a step in the right direction.

Thanks for the input!

Keep well.
