Hi,
I am interested in any feedback, but especially SEO stuff since my knowledge in this area is extremely slim. Since my product is visual and really doesn't need a lot of words (and I hate excess wordiness on a site) my problem is getting the robots to notice what I have without ruining the gallery feel.

*Warning: There is a small amount of nudity. But hey, it's art.

You must improve this..
There's a good job with alt text, but isn't enough. Yes, I know, your excellent "work is visual, and hate excess wordiness on a site" you're right. so take your own words (at end of your bio) "just add words"
Is the only way, add some words matching with your keywords in Home page. Some words to visitors, also search engines.
And try to get more income links with anchor text to raise Google PageRank.

Have a nice day!

Thank you so much for the good feedback. Now I just have to figure out the "anchor text" thing. I'm still really new to all of this SEO stuff. I guess my keywords aren't relevant if they're not actually written on the page?

Mike,
Thank you for taking the time to look at my site. I will change the copyright info, as you suggest.

your product is lovely and I wish you good luck on the net....
as gsmanzi stated, you need text for the search engines to read... they cannot read graphics and the use of alt tags is simply not enough.

you should also put some physical information on your site... as in, address, phone number, fax, etc. This lends credibility to your site.. when people are spending their money, they like to know who they are dealing with and a complete address gives them the confidence that they are dealing with real people, rather than someone just taking their money.

Also, you should use a more professional font on some of your pages.... try using Arial or Verdana..

Again, good luck!

Thank you for your input.
I actually do have all of my contact information at the bottom of my "contact" page. Maybe I need to make that more obvious by moving it up. and I think that Ariel was used throughout, so I'm not sure which pages the type doesn't look good on. I'll double check--maybe the Ordering & Shipping (info) page?

Thanks Guillermo. Sounds great! But there's nothing in my box. Did you send it or did you mean "will" send?

Houston, we have a problem... Well I've send it (not will) I swear. I think the submitting don't work..
I've just send again.
About submitting... do you submit your site at DMOZ, Yahoo! etc.?
Now check the box again, please. I wish the messege must be there (I hope...)

Have a nice day

Thank you gsmanzi. I have received both of your messages now and I appreciate your time.
I can't remember where I've submitted--didn't pay anyone though. I show up everywhere if you type in "Designhead Studio" but of course, that's not enough. If you search for "fine art greeting cards" I show up ok (considering the #s of sites) on most search engines, but not all. And rarely on the 1st page.
Well, I will try some of those suggestions about type on the pages, although I'm very hesitant to cater to the SEs. I know I know--if I don't , who's going to find me, so what good is that?
