Re: New Site

Thanks for the feedback Karen! I will take a look at making some changes - I agree with your thinking.

P.S., I think you should buy an awning so you would need to buy my product - LOL

Dave,

The yellow is better. I could view it without sunglasses and a bottle of coppertone. :)

Re: New Site

Hi Dave,

The layout and look is starting to take shape, now you need to start your SEO campaign (first thing to do is to read Beths SEO Basics)

• research your keywords and how people will go about searching for your site and products. Your present meta keywords are weak (accessories,awning,tube,tubes,twintrak, twintrack,hanger,lights,trak,track,utility,slot,su n shade,banner, screen,fastener,mister,awnings,twinkle, chasing,increases,new,wholesale,retail) as there is very little chance someone will type tube in google and end up on your site. camping accessories/tent awnings etc would be closer, but some research is needed...
• Incorporate these keywords in your: page titles, content, picture titles, alt tags etc
• Rename your pictures (remove the spaces between words as they are replaced by % by default) with relative keywords and _ or - between words.
• Increase your keyword rich content as presently you are offering very little to SE's to consider for listings.

Cheers,

Re: New Site

it is way better ... but I still get sideways scroll ... I only use a widescreen laptop at home. The normal page width is between 800 and 1000 ... your photos are large in size on your home page ... I can't help but wonder if something like what I have done here http://paradogtraining.com/dogofthemonth.html would give your page a more professional look ... I resize all my pics to similiar physical dimensions then run them through pixresizer and they are all around 35 kb and put them into lightbox ... I also suggest you copyright your website and photos ... it may not stop peple using our work but gives you proof of ownership ... keep up the good work ...

Re: New Site

Thanks! My page width is currently 1000 and I do not get the sideways scroll bar. I have a wide screen also. I'll try making it a little smaller. I was thinking about using the Lightbox feature, maybe it's time I do it. I've already run all my photos through PixSizer.

Thanks again,

Dave

P.S., I like your page!
