Ooooooookaaaaayyyyyy. Ignoring your bad grammar, onto the review!

First Impression

"This banner is the enemy of dyslexics everywhere. What the **** does that say!?"

Design

Your logo....I sat and had to think about what all the words said..for like a good minute. Your background and website don't match. They're two different concepts entirely. Business vs. Web 2.0 (with a little grungy cuz you've got the grain going on.) I'm not a big fan of the header, but I've seen worse. Your colors feel kind of generic. Nothing really eye-catching going on. There's no reason to put a border around your email icons. Also, I'm not a fan of your typography, it feels random.

Content

Your content is "choppy." As I've said plenty of times to plenty of people, two+ ideas can fit in one sentence. Here's a quick example:

I like pie. My favorite pie is apple. Apple pie is amazing.

or

I like apple pie, which is my favorite pie, because it's amazing.

(i can go into more detail later, right now I can't deal with it, but that's the quick gist of what I'm getting at.)

There are plenty of points I disagree with you on for your website, but I'm not about to get into that. Mostly, go back and edit your stuff, and make it more flowing. Right not it feels like too much effort to sort through sentences looking for one main idea...

Would I Read It?

No.

Overall

Edit your content. Fix up your design. Oh, and make your header clickable!

first things first... get a title for your site... not just "home"
the kinda confuse about the fusion of 3 pictures (bunch of people at the meeting room, sky and city) i don't get it? can you explain to me that

the overall design looks cool, clean and kinda dull... maybe because of the color or the fonts used.

The example you provided is choppy, arguable more choppy than the first one, even if it is just one sentence.

How about
Because it's amazing, apple pie is my favorite.

Anyways, both alternatives change the meaning, because you've lost the original idea..."I like pie".....I could just like apple pie, and hate every other pie on the planet

For the most part, when it comes to online content...the grammarians have heart attacks.

Pretty much be as laconic as possible unless redundancy is being employed emphatically for some reason or another, perhaps for SEO ;P.

Thanks

Are there a lot of mistakes in content that is on my site?

I will change banner a little bit. I just need an idea what would be the best

Thanks for the totally unnecessary critique of an example given at 11pm under extreme stress? I'm glad we cleared up my pie preferences...

@seola

They aren't errors, it just feels disjointed. The spelling/general grammar is pretty good. A couple of trivial mistakes, but you're human (I'm assuming.) The best kind of banner would be whatever you image your site to be "represented" as. Just think up a few ideas. There's not really a set "image" associated with SEO or Web-design, so really you could go for random dots and get a cool concept.

Didn't know you were under extreme stress, I was just saying your example was bit non sequitur, and if you are giving critiques, I figured you would be open to critiques as well.

Nothing personal, I was merely highlighting something that may cause confusion.

The first thing I thought was how is a SEO company only using Home as the page title. Makes me think how much you actually know about SEO.

Edit: The description and keywords meta tags are missing. (granted the keywords meta tags doesn't work with google but discrition is still important. There is no SEO in the coding at all actually now that I've had a look.

+ the coding is a right mess, more tables than ikea.

**johnlloyd** · 06-18-2008, 07:27 AM

i think the site needs adjustment especially on the meta's and on the placement of banner on the top....it will confuse your visitors simply you don't have any appropriate title for your site!

True~

**patrickgold** · 06-18-2008, 04:32 PM

i agree^^^

**seola** · 06-18-2008, 05:24 PM

look there is a bug in seo component so it sometimes shows Home instead of real title I have set for the homepage. I am waiting for the component update atm.

For sure I would never forget about the title and meta tags, title is one of the most important elements of seo. I erite about it in my articles so why you think i would forget.

Joomla sometimes sucks big time with plugins from other developers so I just have to cope with that
