Website Review and Suggestions

Can you please review my new site. The graffiti fun link is not working properly and and the real domain name is in the process of being transferred, but other than that...

is this joomla template ?

**katers** · 01-30-2007, 10:00 AM

Yes, just changed the header and formating,

I like the header, but the whole site has a scrollbar at the bottom

My resolution is 800x600, and i hate scrolling left and right.

I checked the site on a few different computers and missed that. I will check it out thanks.

It's a nicely done site, especially the "slider" in the NavMenu - nice touch!

Now, let's do a little deeper review...

1. Your title needs to be far more descriptive; i.e., KB Designs - The Art Of Decorative Painting -- remove your URL and the word "Home".

2. Your description meta tag is way off -- this is where you write a BRIEF sentence about your company with only 1 or 2 keywords in the sentence.

3. You have wayyyy too many keywords in your keyword meta tag -- shorten those down to around a maximum of 7 - 10, or you'll be doomed in the SE's for keyword spamming.

4. On your left NavMenu, why do you have a gap between "Contact Us" and "Graffiti Fun"?

5. In the center, at the top, you should probably delete the / Home as it serves no purpose.

6. I'd try and clean up the footer too, as it looks trashy with the words wrapping to the next line -- perhaps delete to footer entirely, and place all of that stuff in your left NavMenu.

You should look at fixing the following 17 coding errors for validation:

Code:

Thank you so much for taking the time to review the site. This site along with several others was hacked about a week ago. The errors must be left over from that. I will see what I can do to fix them.

Not sure what you meant by #1 remove your URL and the word "Home".

I thought it was pretty much self-explanatory, so I'll break it down further to make it more simple ... here's what you have in your HTML code:

<title>icretedesigns.com - Home</title>

It needs to be re-done to show this:

<title>KB Designs - The Art Of Decorative Painting</title>

I like the layout. I have an XVGA monitor and everything looks very crisp.

I think that the red on gray font in the nav bar is difficult to read.

The DPAP seems to format the text funny on my screen, unusual paragraph breaks.

I think swapping the sponsor and newletter on the right side would be beneficial

I like it
