Default Please review http://www.cybertec-computers.com

Hi

We would appreciate your comments good and bad on our site (www.cybertec-computers.com). We are quite a new company (only 6 months old) and had someone doing our site but had to let him go. Any comments/ideas both good and bad would be greatly appreciated as I don't think he was doing his job properly. I have a reasonable knowledge of website building and keywords etc. I have already made a couple of changes but don't think it will be enough to improve page rank or search engine placement.

Thanks in advance to all who help

David

Looks unfinished to me. Looks very homemade. The logo has a mistake in it - you instead of your. The main navigation has been put in a layer with a scrollbar for some obscure reason! The colours and fonts are really bad.

I offer an affordable web design service. I could redesign this page for you and make it look a lot more impressive.

Just a couple of points to mention without re-designing the entire site. I would lose the bold text and simply go with a normal easy to read font like arial. When you make a statement like "we believe we are the only IT solution...." you'd better be prepared to back that up with some sort of documentation. I would drop that kind of statement if for no other reason than most readers won't believe it anyway. You need more space between the header and your body. Your nav bar might look alot better if it were text algned across the top.

Just a few quick thoughts. keep on working.

When I looked at the site in Firefox your navigation bar has a scrollbar down the side of it due to how it's being handled by the css. With a little tweak this could be removed =)

It looks like it could use a lot of work. Here are a few things that I picked up from a quick glance...

1. I would put the copyright notice beneath the main column, not inside the left column.

2. I would not put any space between the navigation links. You might also consider making them bold or doing something with them as they could really use some work.

3. I would put more "stuff" in your design. It seems like it is too far on the plain side for my tastes.

Your comments are usefull but "stuff" could be interpreted as many things so a bit more detail on what you mean would be appreciated.

Revisited your site and it is looking alot better. One thing jumped out at me and that is the phrase "cheap rates". You might want to consider changing that to "inexpensive rates". The word "cheap" has connotations you might not find desireable.

The first impression is "outdated" - the overall look does not lend a professional air to your business. The logo is distorted so the text can't be read and the header image looks like it's been stretched too wide so it's distorted as well.

The Comic Sans font especially lends an amateur feel to the site - use Verdana instead or, better yet, create page titles that are images using a more trendy or high-tech font.

Argh, music. How do I turn it off?

I'd recommend using the e-commerce template you have for your online shop for every web page. That's a better look and first impression for your business. The online shop should open in the same window, too; I ended up with your home page stacked a few times.

Hi, had another look at your site. I think the reason your site looks wrong in Firefox is because of this:

#sectionLinks {
position: relative;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
font-size: 90%;
color: #CCCCCC;
overflow: auto;
}

I think you need to write your css again. The template css that you have linked to is conflicting
with css that you have included in the <head> on your pages.

Try something like this:

.sectionLinks a{
display: block;
width: px;
height: px;
font-family: Verdana;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: px;
color: #;
padding-left: px;
padding-top: px;
}

.sectionLinks a:hover, .sectionLinks a:active {
text-decoration: underline;
color: #;
}
Change the px and color values to what you need. You may not even need the padding.

Then change the HTML:

<div class="sectionLinks">
Home
About
Computers
Shop Online
Web Design
Support
Clients
Contact Us
Links
VoIP
Downloads
</div>

Send me an e-mail or PM if you need any help =)

I lose the midi file. OR at least give a user the chance to turn it off.

Move your text off of the edge, it is hard to read when it is on the edge.

try using the same fon't type and colors for all text on the site!

The grey background on the menu doesn't play right!

Noticed you have a midi music embed on your site... glad it didn't play in my computer (i don't know why). Midi music in any site is defenetly outdated!
