Website Review and Suggestions

**mormrod** · 05-25-2007, 01:11 PM

Hi,

Please review my new Content Managed website, http://www.mattormrod.com

Any feedback is welcome, please let me know what you think. As I say, please bear in mind that all areas of the site can be Content Managed through an admin section.

Cheers

Matt

Looks cookie-cutter to me. A little because of the design, alot because of the copy.

One man company from no-where to page 1 of Google.

Sounds like the sort of bombastic thing spammers say, the kind that make 500,000 "websites" to affiliate some porn site. And if I load up google, you're not there, so maybe "page 1 of Google" needs a bit of qualification. For what keyword(s) ?

I can assure you this isn't cookie cutter at all. All the content is original, and I only have one other domain name that points to the same site. The copy about SEO has come from one of my freelancers, as personally I only deal with the development. Also, at the moment the site is pretty new, so I am still only working my way up through the listings. The guy who does my SEO has got "PHP Contractor" onto the front page of Google within a couple of months from nowhere, so he does know what he's doing.

Like I say, It's all built by hand by me, and the technology behind it is sound. Anyway, thanks for your review - i'll take from it that it looks a little too uniform.

It looks like 90's web design and seems dated try using a more attractive layout.

I looks OK, you should loose the @ in Matt though.

I agree with the losing the @ symbol.. It has been done, if that isn't the understatement of the year. Your city image makes me dizzy. Pretty standard otherwise

yeah its not a bad little site, personally i think the header is a bit outdated and is more suited to a 1990's style of website, so i would personally update/redesign the header, but apart from that, you have a nice site.
