Website Review and Suggestions

**BruceLin** · 10-15-2007, 04:07 AM

Hi all,
I work at a fact0ry-direct on-line retail superstore,(www.uxcell.com) and my work is to promote our website.

We had tried many ways to promote our website, such as submit URL at kinds of web directory and net bookmark, write press & article at many big sites, publish products at supply and demand platform, purchase some Google AdWords and so on.
but the result didn't reach our target.

So I come here ask for your opinion, any one have any suggestion about our site (such as product classification,the sequence of product, the layout of page, and other SEO suggestion)please feel free to tell me , i will vary appreciate about it .

Regards
Bruce.

Hi,

I noted one thing that i personally think will make differnce.

Your site contains a javascript in each page, its better to moves these off into include files.

Also you have a lot of code to content, maybe you should look at redesigning the structure of the site moving away from tabled layout etc.

Regards

Duncan.

The pictures are slow loading and I have a fast computer. This may be a problem with slower connections and make the site less accessible.

The upper content alignment if different in both IE and FF. Both ways look awkward and a little plain.

A layout colour scheme should integrate well with the logo. It doesn't match at all.

Poor use of colours throughout the site. This gives it less visual appeal.

6/10

Good luck with your site.

About the design, I think it's a little bit overloaded. I don't like it very much and I think that for a buyer is pretty hard to navigate from.

About the code:
- put all your script in an external file
- put your css code in an external file
- put "title" to links and "alt" and "title" to img
- a tableless code is better than the actuall code, but if you don't want to do this, try to keep your code as clean as possible (without scripts and css codes in it)
- fix the errors

Anyhow , thanks your suggestion. We appreciate it.

looks good...i can't think of anything to do than what you've already, based on the content of your site.

Hey Brucelin

Can you move your left and right column closer to the center column. There is an awful lot of space between the three when viewed 1280 x 1024 resolution. It does look better in 1024x768.

Good Luck with your site

i think your server needs to load faster. i was waiting forever. but other than that htep ictures where well place everything was layedout well. maybe some better servers

Hi smeare,
thanks for your suggestion, we originally design the site mainly base on 1024*768. so it may some problem with 1280*1024.

hi semeare, The principal thing i want to know is where are your from? and at your country or region many people use IE with 1280*1024? This is very important to me, please tell more details to me.
Thanks for help!

Is the location important for you?

Right, because our target market is mainly in US and EU, if many people in US use the resolution 1280*1024, we need to modify it immediately.

your server needs to load faster

Overall the site is quite a good design - Personally I dont like the dead (white areas) of the site - makes me feel as if something is missing.

Also it takes awhile to load and the first page is rather LONG - takes alot of scrolls to get to the bottom of the page - the browser would be over run with things to click - so I would have less on the first page.

So faster load times (cut down on the amount of pics etc)
Less dead space
and less items on the main page.

Just my thoughts though hope there is no offense.

Looks good! just to let you know I have a 17 inch monitor and your website expands with that size. I found it to have a little to much white space (looked a little sparse) Perhaps you could tighten it up. I would hate to see what it would look like on a wider screen.

But looks good!
