A new site.... need comments and suggestions
« on: December 24, 2011, 01:50:13 AM »
Hi all.
I decided to add another web site in addition to my regular site. My regular site www.dkgrafix.com is not that focused on screen printing and embroidery as the new one and I think that people will find me a lot easier like this. The new web site is www.strongsvillescreenprinting.com
Being a newby to screen printing and not having enough good stuff for portfolio, I used 4 Action templates to fill up a few spots for screen printing area of the web site untill I get more presentable work (there it is, I said it, so do not jump on me because you recognized the templates :) )
I'm thinking about changing a few more things, but I wanted to put it live ASAP, and that will be changed in next few weeks.

Comments, concerns, suggestions, critiques, all is welcome........

Thanks

Looks nice. Cool idea to have all your "pages" under each other so you scroll down to get to the next page. I think it looks really good the layouts look full but not over cluttered. Now for the not so good. Make your spacing for the pages the same...small thing. Now for a big thing. You have a one page website. SEO on a one page website can’t be good.. You only get one page to have people find you. I am not sure how bad this is for you. Check your old websites landing pages and see how many people find you on other pages then your home page. I am not a SEO expert but I would like to have more pages to be able to capture clients. Other than that the site looks good. The way the navigation works is cool.

Nice layout, but you have some misspelled words "about apparel sources" first and second paragraphs.

Nice tight site. Not ambling and sprawling with no direction like some others, like mine :(
Does it adjust for different screen resolutions?
50% of the time I'm 100% right.

Hi Virgil, thatnk you for the heads up on "spalling" :)  I usually have ussues witk sppalling of Englis langvage

Really, thanks.

Fresh, no adjustments for resolution.

Thanks "Dane".

SGear, Thanks, I will try to work around with issues of one page SEO. I think that just Screen Printing in the domain name will help a lot.

I like it. The art/printed shirt samples are front and center, the first thing you see. More effective, I think, than sites that have you clicking around to see samples.
