MeiYi ... you have me chuckling here ... you seem like you are afraid of those words, lol ....

If you are happy with it, and you notice that people are visiting your site, then okay, if not, just increase it, move it up a bit, darken it up and maybe more visitors will find you ....

Try it like that and see what happens I guess ...

Still you have me smiling!! That's great!!

Thanks loads!

You could always offer a game of "Hide and Seek" while they are waiting, or even "Eye Spy" lol ... oh I am still smiling ... I think it's better now though, or it might be because I am used to searching for it, I am not sure anymore ... lol ...

Re: New website - Another pianist (!)

One question:

How do I increase my website's searchability on google/yahoo or other search engines? So far, I've included all the appropriate meta tags and was wondering how long it might take for google to index my site.

Please advice.

Thanks,

Hi, before you get to far with the SE side of things, you will need to check all your pages for the key words you are using. They say that some SE’s are not even looking at this part anymore? But still worth getting it right for those that do.
Any key words & phrases you use must be on the page that a group of key words are relating to.
IE: you have on your home page (Malaysian pianist, Johann Sebastian Bach, classical pianist,) as key phrases. But they are not on the pages. This can sometimes work against your with the SE’s. Things like names & place names should also have capital letters. This link is a good starting point. http://www.moxie-enter-prises.com/SEO-The-Basics.html


Good luck.

Re: New website - Another pianist (!)

Hi,
You have a beautifully designed site and all the constructive comments above should help it to work and flow even better. "Enter site" page; do you really need it? After all it is one more click (or should one think of it as a hurdle?) to get to the real info. Instead have a home page with the navigation to take the visitor staight where he or she wants to go. Once I was in the site I really wanted to look at every page so that says to me it is an interesting site. Gallery page at over 650 kb in size (a downside with the lightbox is it makes for large document sizes when too many images are used) it takes a bit too long, and for some users it may take much too long, to load. Whilst the gallery thumbnail page looks good from a visual design point of view you could split it into two separate pages to overcome this. Another help would be to optimise some of your larger (in kbs) images quite severely.

All in all an excellent job that you can be very proud of.

James.

HI,
What a beautiful website!
My take on the "enter" controversy......too small.
Only other constructive criticism is that the text of the reviews was a bit hard to read.
Otherwise I really liked your work. It suits the subject perfectly.
Cheers

Re: New website - Another pianist (!)

Thanks fellas! Will sit down one day and update it slowly... as I'm gradually going blind looking at my computer screen the past few days (!)

Good advice from the forum though - Thanks!

Hi, it maybe my browser? But I can only view your site in IE. For some reason it wont show in FF. But let someone else confer this 1st.

Nice looking site.
