Website Review and Suggestions

**RobK** · 12-21-2009, 07:14 AM

Hello fellow webmasters,

I have just redesigned my site and I would your opinions. It took me quite a bit of time to get everything the way I wanted it, but of course the tweaking never ends.

Please help me out and let me know if you find.

1) Broken Links
2) Really bad grammar or spelling mistakes that were ignored.
3) Any problems with the flash
4) Decent loading time
5) Generally like the overall format of the site & easy to navigate

I really appreciate it. Thanks alot!

Design to very good and appealing. It shows the efforts you have put in.

Just a few suggestions:

At 1600X1200 resolution, the wordings become a bit unreadable, due to the font size, but at 1027X768 they are perfectly readable.
The loading time is a bit slow. Images take too much time to load, this may be a problem of my net connection.

It loads fast for me and i think it looks really good, i would no change anything.

Thanks a lot, you comments are very appreciated.

I asked a few friends and family to check it out, focusing mainly on the load time and they all said it was quick. It's quick for me and I am in China

HI - Lovely site, the only thing that would make it better was if you checked your HTML 4.01 at w3c as it is not compliant and has 23 errors at present. If you correct those errors it will help with SEO and browser load speed.

It wouldn't do anything for either.

It looks nice, it does not degrade well with CSS switched off however (I get a full screen of blank background).

**RobK** · 12-21-2009, 09:41 PM

Thank you for your comments again.

I am not too focused on the coding yet as I will get that tweaked a bit later. But it is on the list. If I am going to offer W3C services I better have a W3C website myself lol.

WebBiscuit which browser are you using? I haven't had anyone run into this problem yet.

**WebBiscuit** · 01-03-2010, 02:32 PM

Firefox 3.5.6, but I also tried it in Internet Explorer 8. It looks fine in normal conditions, you just have to disable css (page->style->no style in ie)

Looks very nice.
Well done.
Looks very professional.

**IVernex** · 01-03-2010, 06:18 PM

Seriously thats awesome, wish i could design that well.

**jamestl2** · 01-04-2010, 02:56 PM

Very Nice.

Just a few things I might change around would include:

Make the flash header smaller, like it is on the rest of the pages. It currently takes up 50% of the homepage's screen real estate.
Maybe do something with the navbar, something to spice it up a bit. Having that olive color and just the text across the top doesn't quite flow with the rest of the design.

Can't really think of anything else, looks well done.

**ruchiicoool** · 01-05-2010, 07:37 AM

its nice dere is no probs in the load time

**oliver13** · 01-07-2010, 07:53 AM

maybe do something with top navigation, bold text or white text...

**1quick6** · 01-07-2010, 12:11 PM

It looks very nice to me. Nice use of TiltViewer for your portfolio!

**RobK** · 01-07-2010, 10:41 PM

Thank you very much for your comments!

Some of them I quite agree with and will take on board. I added a flash in the header space to display a little intro of products. I also think I will change the olive navigation to another color as James and some other people are right and it doesn't quite flow properly.

Nice website.I aways like website in php.Page rank is pretty low as you have launched it in 2002.

**toshiedo** · 01-09-2010, 08:38 PM

nice design, could work some SEO in as well

**RobK** · 01-09-2010, 09:03 PM

@Pristuno - I actually only launched it this year... not sure where you got 2002 but thanks.

@toshiedo - Yeah I might need some SEO work in the near future. Maybe I will look you up.
