liamloveslearning Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Hi everyone, I've recently completed this website for a signage company in my area, the website is www.signworldgroup.com, Id love to hear constructive criticism and welcome all opinions, thanks in advance Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/188038-new-signs-website/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
ignace Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 - I like the look of the website. Very clean & proffesional. - Your HTML is invalid which is IMO a serious problem - I like the integration of SaaS services (like flickr) - Your fancy flyout menu is not usable (decreased accessibility) - Only few pages have SEO focused page title's - Meta tags do almost never match the page content - Properly indent sub-pages on the sitemap Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/188038-new-signs-website/#findComment-992898 Share on other sites More sharing options...
liamloveslearning Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 Thanks ignace, Ive tried to validate my HTML repeatedly only I must admit I'm not the greatest coder in the world and can never seem to fix certain errors..

liamloveslearning Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 Ive manage to fix the majority of validation issues, only issue now being the flash on the index wont validate, will that have much negative effect?

liamloveslearning Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 Sorry to sound quite naive too, but by - Only few pages have SEO focused page title's - Meta tags do almost never match the page content What would you say are SEO focused page titles? Im not too good on the SEO front, And should each meta tag be individual too the page as opposed to me using the same one on each? Thanks again Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/188038-new-signs-website/#findComment-993469 Share on other sites More sharing options...
liamloveslearning Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 Ive gone through all page titles and meta descritptions to suit the content more effectively, Ive also manage to validate the majority of the pages besides 4 or 5, of which have <objects> embedded Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/188038-new-signs-website/#findComment-993549 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ignace Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 For the homepage I would create something like: Signworld Group - Web Design, Manufacturing, On-Site Installation, Project Management, Site Surveys, Maintenance These keywords address a broad audience which is actually not so good because most of these keywords have high-value. So it would be better to focus on specific keywords for which you want to rank high. You can do this by including the area's your company delivers to (if any) which is called geo-targeting.

liamloveslearning Posted January 13, 2010 Author Share Posted January 13, 2010 in regards to - Your fancy flyout menu is not usable (decreased accessibility) would you recommend I have in purley css based? My boss loves is a hard man to convince and he seems to love the animation, what would you recommend? Ive took the rest of your advice so thanks a lot ignace (Y)!

ignace Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Well there are flyout menu's that support accessibility (like Suckerfish) but are hard to implement. Modify the href attribute of both About and Services from # to the first element in the list or create a new page that lists all sub-items (make sure these list links have tabindex starting from 1) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/188038-new-signs-website/#findComment-994226 Share on other sites More sharing options...
liamloveslearning Posted January 13, 2010 Author Share Posted January 13, 2010 When I validate my pages the navigation validates fine, but by accessibility would you mean robots and keyboard navigation etc?

ignace Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 No. Accessibility is to enhance the web experience for people who have a disability. Keep in mind that hey may be your clients prospects.

Ninjakreborn Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I like it the only suggestion is dim the mouseovers to the links. There a little extreme for this color scheme.
