Website Review and Suggestions

**rsharum** · 07-26-2010, 11:50 AM

Hello all,

I had previously posted my website, www.shoot2sell.net when it was in it's earlier fledgling stages. Now that I have tweaked it a bit and made improvements, we've been having much higher traffic and it seems to be successfully capturing customers (most new bookings have come after clients have viewed our website). Although it seems like we've been able to make a thriving website I still feel as though there is something else we could do.

So basically, my question is, what do you think? What should I add? Or is there anything I am not doing enough of that could help me gain more traffic and a better google ranking?

i think it looks great nice and clean. i might make that main photo a little smaller and at the bottom you have red font maybe change that to a normal color and you could make your links at the top Home page, services, ect make them bold or just bigger but thats all i can think of.

Thanks for the tip tahoecale.

Any other advice?

I like everything other than that animation/flash stuff on the first page, the colors are good and the layout is nice, overall good job on it.

It's simply great; I haven't found anything that should be improved. It contains all necessary info.
The only think: these http://gyazo.com/50b67a79814383a50f0671218463694d.png could be the hyperlinks.

I don't like that 3d header. It doesn't fit with your nice and clean design. And it seems like it just floating over there. Doesn't sit on nothing

I like the entire website. It's very nice, clean, and professional.

You get across your message instantly, which is great, and I like the site. All the pages look okay, and anyone going for your services will get everything they want quickly and easily.

I'd break up the text in the Our Photography Sell and About Us sections - few people read blocks of text on the web - a quick fix is to just put a couple of <br/><br/> in there, so it looks like three paragraphs instead of one.

The cu3er flash thing at the top shows off your photography very well, but it would be much more elegant (and a better experience for the visitor) to use a jQuery slider, and so many beginners are using cu3er at the moment it is beginning to give an amateurish feel. And also, I hate Flash.

slow your cu3er down a bit, the animations are a bit to fast. other than that really nice work

The slideshows in the portfolio section took quite a while for me to open, and my connection is not slow.

Then I clicked on the picture and the whole slideshow disappeared. Which was a bit annoying because I actually wanted to see next picture. Then I found the tiny "next buttons" in the bottom, not sure if it's possible to have the pics change if you click on them, instead of closing the whole screen, and maybe close the screen by clicking outside the window or on the escape button.

But my question really is about the marketing. How will you get traffic for this site? I think you may have difficulties with the search engines. But "manual" marketing or PPC are of course options.
