I posted a request for a review about 6 months ago and the feedback was really great. I fixed everything that people pointed out as problems and was hoping to get some helpful criticism on the site overhaul,

twist,

1. Overall, very good. Especially for a rural area.

2. Should be restaurants and wineries, not restaurants and wines.

3. You need to have EVERY restatuarant listed, even if they are so pathetic as to lack a website. Douglas County has 38 cemetaries and zero restaurants? A great place to visit if you are a necrophiliac.

Fixed, thanks for catching that.

There are very few restaurants in the county that aren't part of chains, only 3 or 4, but your right, I should take the time to list them.

Thanks for taking the time to look through my site, I really appreciate the help.

Any chance of getting more than one review?

Very neat and fast loading site. Good use of images with just the right amount of explanatory text on the home page. Maybe a good logo would make things even better.

Have you registered the site with good directories? Try and get some quality sites to link to NCW Portal.

You focus on a beautiful part of the world. I always fancied getting to Washington state but have not made it so far.

Nice images as others have said but for me I need a screen larger than my 17.5 inch monitor to view them without having to scroll across to the right (on the community page at least). I clicked on community thinking it was a blog-type approach and it would seem to lend itself to that purpose quite well.

The search terms, "Washington", "Washington State" fared poorly on an analysis of the home page. Maybe you should consider replacing "NCW Portal :: Home Page" with "North Central Washington Directory" or similar.
