I'd welcome any comments on my website, www.chevellfan.com.

My home page doesn't have a pageranking with Google, however, my other pages do. This makes it hard to get good sites to exchange links with me.

Is there something wrong with my html?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hey Lizzi

Nice site! Personally, I didn't know what a Chevelle SS is, until I read the home page and now I do!!

I have looked at your page code and the first thing I notice, is the amount of white space there is around your HTML (blank lines). It doesn't reflect on your pages, but I bet the search engines are choking on it. I would personally lose it.

Also I would implement a stylesheet rather than rely on the <font family=""> tag for every snippet of text in your page code. Did you use Frontpage or some other visual software to design your pages?

I also notice you have a lot of tables. I can condone tables within tables, but not tables in tables in tables! I would seriously review this.

I tried to get your home page checked out by the W3C HTML validator, but I got "Failed Validation". At a guess, I would say that you need a <!DOCTYPE> tag at the top of your page.

I also found this tag after your </html> tag.



I take it from this that this site is hosted on Yahoo webspace. Any image shouldn't really go after the final closing tag. Maybe this is what Yahoo demands of all its sites, and if they do by all means keep it. But no images (even the 1 pixel by 1 pixel variety) should go in after the page has finished.

Also on a slightly more minor note: Lose the excessive bold text on the Chevelle Book Page. Excessive bold font makes for a very bad headache and visitors to your site won't thank you for it.

I hope this helps. If you would like me to look further into this, then please feel free to PM me or post on the thread again.

HTH. Best regards,

Seems like you have to much white space between your left column and the right column. Might see if you can move your right colum a little closer to the left which would make your main page a little more compact. Instead of 3 clicks to see the page it might cut it down to 2 clicks?

I more and more go for minimalistic sites.

1. Text-only version and graphic version.

2. Branding the logo.

3. Effective and simple.

4. Creative and simple.

5. Simple graphical design.

Perhaps a combination of 1 and 2 is best?

Even if tags are getting less important according to the rumours, do you not miss some tags?

I once learned that even the invisible tag in the head may be important:



Perhaps it is out in 2005.

Hey,

Chevelle's are sweet!

Anyways, first off, work on the validation...that's pretty important.
Secondly, I like the sites simplicity, navigation and content, although i find the presentation a bit dated. Also, did you try and get the chevellefan.com site? I didn't see anything posted there.

At any rate, looks decent, lots of content.

If you've got a moment, could you please review my site
here.

Thanks!

Yehaw, my first car in high school was a 1969 Chevelle SS so this site is fun to me. (I remember putting 75 cents worth of gas in the car so we could cruise all night...)

I like the site, it has great content and photos.

Besides the site validation mentioned above, the only suggestion I have is to present the Showcase of cars differently - maybe a slide show with Prev | Next buttons? The text list of links is kind of a dated presentation and not very user-friendly.

Love all the pictures, just wish I could see then in a larger resolution. I agree that the menu looks a bit dated but overall I really like it - lots of info.

Keep it up.
PS. I would have appreciated dividers/heading/titles seperating the paragraphs on the main page under "The Chevelle Legend..."

Thanks everyone for your input. They are all really good suggestions, and have put some to use already.

Marcie, for the text links page, what would you suggest for a user friendly format?

As a newbie all I can offer is the fact that I like looking at your site. I think that the visual should always be taken into account!
