Website Review and Suggestions

**Adam Fletcher** · 01-25-2007, 05:46 PM

Hello

I am currently working on a new site (its a personal site) which focuses on Search Engine Optimisation and I have recently just redesigned the website to make it much more search engine friendly as well as making it look a lot better

I would really appreciate your opinions and reviews of my site

I will await your reviews

With Thanks

Adam, it's a nice site. Very simple and quick loading. I like the colors a lot too

The main navigation is hard to read though until you mouseover the links. In fact I had to mouseover them to find out what they said. I'd use a different color for the font. You might want to keep the navigation font white even prior to the mouseover since it will be easy to read.

You may also want to rethink calling yourself 'leading seo expert' Even if you are a leading seo expert, which I know you're not at the moment, it's probably not a good idea to say it. Being humble can go a long way.

I also noticed the link to the about us page isn't working. I'm getting a 404 error when I try to go to the page.

The links in the right column for the latest news are all taking me to a blank page.

I do like the site though and would like to see you match the forum and blog to the look of the main site more.

Site has good look.But the title on the forum page if replaced with a good image instead of plain comic sans ms text it will be better

Glad you like it

Please come and enjoy the site and forum. I am soon to be spending a lot of money on the forum and I will be advertising it a lot so it will soon be very very active.

Glad you like the site. It is only a very quick design but I just wanted your opinions before I do any more work

After a second look at the site I really do agree with your views about the navigation. This is now my priority and I will sort that soon

I do also agree with the fact that the leading SEO expert bit should go. I have worked on many of the biggest and best sites but I am unknown to many webmasters (unlike people like Matt Cutt's ect)

The news page and about us pages are under construction as they have not been fully built yet. They will be online soon.

Finally I have designed a custom theme for the forum which will be implemented soon and I am also looking for someone to code me a unique template for wordpress for the blog.

Thanks for your ideas and opinions

"about" link didn't work

**Adam Fletcher** · 01-26-2007, 10:16 AM

I know. I am working on that page now

Infact I will do that page this second

Thanks

Glad to help Adam. I do think the design is a good one. I don't think you need to do much on the navigation. Just making the text lighter would work.

**Adam Fletcher** · 01-27-2007, 05:38 PM

Working on the navigation as we speak so I will make some changes soon

Thanks again everyone

Nicely done Adam - I noticed your Title and Meta tags are all mixed up; you might want to rearrange those for proper indexation by the SE's ... while you're at it, you might wish to fix the following code warnings too:

Code:

line 164 column 53 - Warning: unescaped & which should be written as &amp;
line 197 column 1 - Warning: missing </b> before </div>
line 234 column 9 - Warning: discarding unexpected </b>
line 240 column 1 - Warning: missing </b> before <p>
line 243 column 12 - Warning: inserting implicit <b>
line 255 column 9 - Warning: discarding unexpected </b>
line 262 column 1 - Warning: missing </b> before <p>
line 265 column 12 - Warning: inserting implicit <b>
line 277 column 9 - Warning: discarding unexpected </b>
line 283 column 1 - Warning: missing </b> before <p>
line 286 column 12 - Warning: inserting implicit <b>
line 164 column 14 - Warning: <a> attribute "href" lacks value
line 194 column 14 - Warning: <a> attribute "href" lacks value
line 240 column 1 - Warning: trimming empty <b>
line 262 column 1 - Warning: trimming empty <b>
line 283 column 1 - Warning: trimming empty <b>

hi,

site is good, contain resourses, but is it providing seo services or only information? The user will be confused. You have added articles, news, forum, what about your services?

**lovepzt** · 01-29-2007, 04:07 AM

"about" link didn't work

**toomm** · 01-29-2007, 09:57 AM

Nice site, the top navigation could be maybe more visible.
