In "Step 2" you link to several wallets.

However, you left out a few:

  • Bitcoin-Qt
  • MultiBit
  • Bitcoin Wallet (on Android)
  • Mycellium

Also, Coinbase is NOT a wallet.  You should remove it.  Coinbase is an uninsured, unregulated, bitcoin bank account that is not subject to public audits of their security practices or financials.

On the "Buy Bitcoins and send them to your wallet" section, you failed to list it as "Step 3" (all of your other steps have step numbers?).

You also should include localbitcoins and the bitcointalk "Currency Exchange" sub forum: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=53.0

You also might want to consider adding the bitcoin-otc channel on IRC.

Thank you very much, I fixed step three, but I was not able to find proper logos for any of your suggestions. They all lack rectangle logos :(

Step one: Proof-read and spell/grammar -check your site to give it a semblance of professionalism.

you advise customers to download a third party bitcoin wallet (webwallets) before they have a bitcoin.

you might aswell skip the wallet and just tell them to leave funds on the exchange.
(that was sarcasm)

its better off to mention the proper wallets that give users control of their own private keys. as that is the more secure thing to do

Wow you are absolutely right, no excuses on spelling. I'll look into that wallet. Thank you!
