Hey ive built my first site too. Its about 8 months old and has evolved heaps lol, hasnt everyones? I sell clotheslines on it and so far its doing well in the sales dept. got a few number 1 positions for keywords and the main keyword "clotheslines" is at number 27 on google and coming up fast. I expect to be number one soon, as my site ages so will my rank increase. Matt

Re: matt36

just a few suggestions from my point of view. Where it says:

maybe make it center like the text below it
Is your clothesline looking tired? Modern clotheslines are out of sight and mind; you can even put one in the garage!
maybe make it center like the text below it
Now navigation-wise when I click through a site I dont like when extra pages pop up, JMO. When I click on "builders" a new page pops up, but when I click on "builders" and "sitemap" its a smoother transition to the next page.

When I click on "Information" an error comes up and says "The URL is not valid and cannot be located"

Rest of it looks great :)

Re: matt36

Yes the information page is not yet done. Sorry about that. I took your advice and centered the text. As for other pages opening i agree that it can be a pain but its designed to "keep" ppl on the site, to keep them looking around. it only happens on a few pages.matt

Hey Matt

The good old Aussie Clothes line, every house should have one. Hey you have done a great job on the site. Loads quickly and navigates well. I haven't been through the whole site but it all looks good.

The only thing I found was a couple of spelling mistakes, Testimonial and not Testa, Favourites instead of Favorites. (On the home page) Also capital I for i in one sentence. And doesnt should be doesn't. I tend to use the full word such as "is not" instead of "isn't". I find most sites use US spelling and spelling and grammer can effect your page ranking in google.

Re: matt36

it might be a idea for you to make one or two of your fields on your contact form required and maybe a captcha question, this would reduce the amount of spam you would get from your form clogging up your inbox.
