				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I recently checking out <a href="http://www.foldees.com">Foldees</a>, a desginer greeting card, a small startup in Malaysia. The founder wrote a piece of good article in <a href="http://e27.sg/2010/10/16/a-malaysian-startups-story-of-funding-gone-wrong">e27.sg</a>.</p>
<p>After viewing the site a few time here and there, checking them out, and I notice why it doesn&#8217;t work and I believe spend some fund on it. Well, I did the same exact mistake before too <img src='http://www.wongpk.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><img src="http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c376/wongpk/wongpk/foldees.jpg" alt="Foldees" /></p>
<h3>User Interface, User Experience</h3>
<p>Both are almost NIL on the site. Maybe the concept isn&#8217;t sync with the business concept itself. First off, it&#8217;s a designer greeting card. But the whole site doesn&#8217;t show the sense of designers. Instead, it looks more like the China website &#8211; Full information. There is no way one can navigate around the site easily and get to the wanted information.</p>
<p>Click on the picture, it load in the page; click on the title, open in new windows. I mean, there is the third-click on my mouse, there too have a right-click menu, why control how I browse the site? Let me decide how I browse with my own browser.</p>
<h3>Poor SEO</h3>
<p>A basic keyword of &#8220;Designer greeting card&#8221; doesn&#8217;t shows the site at all. Not even in the first 5 pages. With such age of website, keyword should be already in the search engine. Probably because no copywriter. Look into their copy, it is more like a casual blogger piece of content than a professionally wrote copy. I did that ALL the time back in the 90&#8242;s <img src='http://www.wongpk.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Not only did the site has a poor SEO keyword and tags, the site is crumbed with Javascript on top of it. I do understand the Malaysia server, Malaysia users. But how about the International users they are expecting? That definitely bring down the whole search engine friendliness.</p>
<p>In my opinion, they did not fully utilised their fund in a way to help marketing. Instead, it is spent mostly on prototyping the whole system and marketing gimmick itself.</p>
<p>I do believe with such a unique idea of startup, it can still work well. But how well, will depend on how much hardwork to put in.</p>
