Website Review and Suggestions

**cjsio** · 01-07-2009, 02:38 AM

Hi all. Hope to get some review on my company website.
http://www.securemetric.com

This website is done on php coding with Content Management System behind it. Feel proud for a php noob like me can finish this website. Im more on to the design. My colleague helps me on the coding on the Online Shop part.

Your feed back is very much appreciated.

Very very nice. Im only just starting with PHP so thats way better than anything i could do.

I know the reviews are supposed to be a critique, but i really cant find anything wrong with this site, its very professional

I think the top header would better blend with the rest of the site if it was aligned on both sides with the box below the menu.

I attached an image to show what I mean.

The site looks good, it has a professional look and feel to it.

First of all overall the site is nice specially if your not someone that has done it before or if your not someone that does it full time. Nice job.

However a few things that I would like to point out to you.

SEO - You need more buttons/links in your footer it will help trust me. I did not dig into the code but thats what I noticed at a glance
The overall layout is set for 800x600 screen resolution it looks like. However you will very rarely see anyone using this resolution anymore. Take a look at the last few days of visitors on one of my sites. Which will be posted at the bottom of this. Take this into consideration. People with 1024x768 and up will have a hard time seeing your site since it will look tiny to anything above 1024x768.
Your contact buttons and live support buttons really stood out and not in a good way. Since I am a designer by trade I noticed the fualts right away before the good things. The contact buttons are to dark/blended into the button. Attached is an example of what a quick throw together that could help with this. You want your visitors to be able to see the contact us buttons and live support at a glance. Not have to search for them or strain there eyes to notice that's what them buttons are.

I hope everything was useful information and you consider any changes.

Below is the resolutions visitors have been using just in the past few days alone at one of my sites.

1. 1024x768

93 50.00%

2. 1360x768

50 26.88%
3. 1280x800

11 5.91%
4. 1680x1050

10 5.38%
5. 1280x1024

8 4.30%
6. 1440x900

8 4.30%
7. 1182x864

3 1.61%
8. 1920x1200

2 1.08%
9. 800x600

1 0.54%

Have any questions feel free to contact me.

btw the button was just a quick example. You would of course change the colors as needed but you want the CONTACT US to stand out not be so hard to read. I understand the rollover effect of it changing to white. However some people would not know and very well might either overlook it or even think that means contact us is disabled and might not even bother.

You would be surprised about how many people that surf the web still have no clue on how things are done. Thus you should always take in consideration those types of people.

Live Support button will not become white when I put cursor on in

**detsynergy** · 01-08-2009, 01:58 PM

I would assume thats because live support was not online andr112. Most live support scripts disable the button or rollover when its not active.

**cjsio** · 01-12-2009, 09:41 PM

very very thanks to detssynergy~
I will look into your suggestions and improve on it.
I'm still consider a newbie in website. Still learning.

btw, the Online Support is not function yet. Will be up soon after this chinese new year maybe.

**YODspica** · 01-13-2009, 09:20 AM

the text colour is not the best in my opinion, too much gray, stresses my eyes.

**andr112** · 01-14-2009, 08:56 AM

**PoolProPete** · 01-14-2009, 09:36 AM

Looks Great! The only thing I might question is the size of your font in top header where it says "Formula For Strong Digital Security". It's very small and hard to read. I know its being picky but you should not have to squint to read something especially if its a Company slogan.

**PBScott** · 01-14-2009, 10:45 AM

Very professional looking site. The dropdowns at the top are very nice and it looks good with the borders on the boxes. Nice background colors.

I did find the font too small and difficult to read in the body and in the header. Also as mentioned before the text colors are a bit hard on the eyes. Easy fixes though, good job.
