Hi,

I have a revamped webiste and would be grateful if you would give it a once over and let me know what you think. Im looking for ways, like most people, to improve traffic cheaply. I am also interested in your opinion of the site overall, comments and suggestions.

Many thanks in advance.

Paul,

I'll leave the SEO issues to others in terms of increasing traffic, except to say that someone needs to look at the meta tags. Seems like the description is too long? And, I didn't notice any links page. You'll need links to satisfy the SEs.

I really like the site. It looks inviting, you say what you're all about in the header, and I love the idea of searching by color. I myself have wanted an image in a color to blend with something, and how nice to have the search right there. The site loaded quickly on my DSL.

The only problem I noticed was that image 45 appears very low on the page, but it was the only one I saw like that.

I would think that if you address the SEO issues, the site should do well.

Hope this helps,

Kathleen

The site is a beauty overall. I don't think the banner-graphic quite goes with the rest, but it's the right idea, just perhaps a bit too extreme.

On an LCD/laptop I worry that some of the grasy text might be tough to read. A few images, like the 010101 binary guy at the bottom, seem a bit "heavy" and could perhaps be optimized a bit to save you some bandwidth and your visitors some d/l time.

I am almost alone I think in the world, but I dislike polls, and your poll pushed the sidebar too far down the page IMHO. Newsletter and Login I would put as links on sidebar or elsewhere than sidebar, like perhaps login along top under or on top of banner image. Then the sidebar won't be quite so far down. Like the random images, but if it, too, has to go, it could be okay in the page content perhaps, and RSS info on horizontal plan below/outside of bounding table box like perhaps under the credit cards noted.

The color search is well done, very creative and works on top of that. I think in terms of SEO, it'll be tough to go after big junk like royalty-free images, etc, but you could carve a niche by category somehow perhaps.

I am a zombie - going to leave the computer on the fine note of having viewed a very nice site - it's not much "normal SEO" but I know a dozen designers and etc who I will refer this to whenever I think of it - bookmarked. Good night!

Thanks for that! Do you know anyone who's good at SEO and affordable? What about larger companies, do you get what you pay for? I can continue using Adwords but that can be expensive. I have Webposition Gold but have let the knowledge base expire. Is it worth doing.
TIA

-Paul

I know a few people good at SEO, and affordable is sort of a relative term, heh. Adwords is probably "cheaper" in the short term, say under 4-6 months, plus gives rapid results, but a combo of PPC and SEO would eventually let you either pause Adwords (yet still gain x% of new clients you would not have otherwise due to maturing SEO engine trickle) or run both and get more sales.

I like Webposition Gold as a theory, but I have never seen any of those programs I couldn't have a gut feel for as good or better at no cost other than oodles of my time and some freebie stuff on the net. Just my two cents, and since I do SEO/SEM all the time, it might not be the best advice to consider in your personaly situation.

Hi,

Thanks for the post. So would you be willing to do the SEO on my site, and if so, how much.

Regards,

-Paul

Great site. Just art. Perfect one if you ask me.

Seen from point of SEO it's an awful one.

Some short lines about SEO
Titles - Maximum 5 words and most important keywords in front an no stopword as a, the, one, best, most ect.
Description - Use your most (same for that page) important keywords and a maximum of 15 words.
Keywords - (still relevant to use) only use the most inmportant ones related to the contents of the page.
Put Java code at the end of each page if possible (better which external *.js scripts)

This will help enourmously. Your site has a lot of contents. Be aware that people could use picture- and flashgrabbers or simular ones to steal pictures or pieces of them. But that's something you probably have to live with.

But again, A very nice site. No link problems. After checking more than 2600 I found 2 bad links and stopped checking. That's all for now.

Wondering which software you did use to create this website.

Good luck

I believe the site is written in MAMBO CMS.
I've working with the same system at the moment on
www.cre8ivedigital.cool360.co.uk

I love the general clean look, and as mentioned by others, the option to search by colour is a novel, and very useful tool for webmasters (i've already bookmarked you for a future project)

As mentioned before the header that you're using, isn't (only in my opion) one of the better images that you have on your site.

I'm interested on reading the tips on SEO, as this was one question mark hanging over MAMBO, having previously used geeklog CMS, I was astounded by the SE frendiliness of it.

I agree about the search by colour option. This is fantastic.

I also agree about your header graphic not being as good as most of the other images on the site (although it is 1,000,000 better than mine)...
