Default Looking for a critical review of www.zizinya.com

Good afternoon,

I was hoping to get some feedback on my website. I just rebuilt it with table-less css and put it up about a week ago. Still waiting to get indexed by Google. Thanks in advance!

1. Expected to be able to click on your logo and go to homepage.

2. Postal, etc. contact info. Yea!

3. Remove the reset button on your contact us (and any other forms). See Reset / Cancel Button Considered Harmful (Jakob Nielsen's Alertbox)

4. It is FAQs and not FAQ's. Apostrophes are not allowed.

5. I would bring this "Why should I choose you?" up the main menu as "About Us". I wrote that and then read: "Tips for Good Web Site Design. Always create an "About Us" page to establish trust with your users"

6. You have plenty of words and they are good ones. But, I find the overall look to be really bland. The site looks like it was built from a template. You need to suck me in and the design does not do it.

On your site-map.html file why does the home page point to pluginlab.com/ and not to zizinya.com?

Your sitemap.xml file meets 0.84 requirements. You need to update it to meet 0.9 as this is what Google adheres to.

canonicalization issue: Found in your sitemap.xml file <loc>http://www.zizinya.com/</loc>, <loc>http://www.zizinya.com/index.html</loc>. You may also want to to add a 301 from http://zizinya.com to http://www.zizinya.com

Thank you for your tips. I took care of the pluginlab mishap and the 301's. However, with regard to the canonicalization issue in the xml sitemap, should I just remove the url that I've redirected?

Thanks again for your help.

Underlined text is link misleading, like to see the main menu differentiated from text.

It does nit look like a professional website at all. It looks more or less like a blog which only content in it. I am not in denial of the importance of content but that does not mean that you will ignore the importance of using images all together.

I should agree on this. Maybe the thing that made it more unprofessional looking is the big cartoon image on the header part. And yes it looks more like a blog than a web design website that offers design services. With regards to your website content, I can say that you did a good job building such rich content. Just make sure it is not duplicate at all. This is also the reason why your site home page looks more like a blog. When I scroll down, there are lots of articles down there which I think can be placed on a separate page then the home page.
