Default Please Review www.grenvillestation.com

Hello, if anyone would like to review a canadian gift basket company (online business only) that is 4 years old and created entirely by an experienced amateur, I would appreciate it!

the site is www.grenvillestation.com

FYI: page rank last year was 5, dropped to 4 since last fall (and dropped from #1 or #2 on our main search strings on google to #5 or #6 but hits are the same or better) and I just did a major source fix with keyword density and backlinks last week.

Thanks,

WyattEA

Some of the print seems to be really small. Hard to read.

Corporate Gifting Program
Why is this on the main page?

Privacy Policy
Not much on this page. You might look at other sites to get a better idea as to what more you can put on here.

Nice looking site map.

Nice looking site. Seems to be very easy to nav through it.

Thanks for the reply! I'll work on those issues - especially the privacy policy which I agree we've ignored.

Hi Wyattea,

It is a nice site and easy to get around. There is only two things i can think of to say about it, I would apply a css style to your links, to get away from the blue underline, i just think it doesnt look professional and a style can tidy the site up a lot.

Your credit card images are fairly blurred and could be tidied up a bit as well.

otherwise cant find anything wrong it is simple and easy to get around.

Peter, thanks for the reply!

Some of the links I do change with CSS to not show blue underline because I don't want the user to click on it (it's for anchor text backlinks) but for the text I do want the user to click on, I figured the blue underline is the most obvious especially to new users - what other color/font feature would be appropriate?

regarding the corporate gifting program, it's just content on the main page - i assume you are suggesting to just link to a subpage? we do have a corporate gifts page with content...but i thought i'd add that on the main page so more people saw that we do provide that service.

thanks again,

James...

if i ware you i would:

1.separate lateral content(links),top, foot content from the center-middle content.seams not so good organize now in this moment.
(you can see some example here http://www.benmeadowcroft.com/webdev.../3-column.html )
2.not center all the content in the left,right, bottom box let everything aligned to the right.
3.not puting so much information in the header.
4.not puting "coming soon" if is nothing under

the conclusion is that you must organize a litle better the content.
