Is this re-design too simple?

**plaksel** · 03-22-2007, 05:50 PM

Hi guys,

Just re-designed my site in flash and html/css. My aim is to guide visitors to my portfolio!

Let me know where I can improve!

I looked at both the flash and HTML versions, I think design wise the site looks good. But in the SEO dept it needs some work. I would post in the SEO talk section about your site, Travel agent, Adam and Learning newbie will be of help their!

In other words, "SEO Expert" can't help you from a lack of knowledge, no matter what "he/she" claims.

I'm not touching that one with a ten-foot pole (as in the TA/Shannon issue.)

As far as the site goes, I don't think it's too simple. I think it's too hard to read. The font size is way too small and isn't adjustable in IE.

If you're going to be selling web design services in the UK, you would be well-advised to take a long look at the British Disability Discrimination Act. You've got a number of errors on your site that would combine to pose some violations of that act (missing alt attributes on images or identical alt attributes on different images, fixed size text, etc.)

The same would go for any of your clients where you've done all Flash work (I saw one of those).

Before you deal with the SEO stuff, deal with those issues first.

I got 404 error for html/portfolio.html page. And use "target=_blank" for your project list links. I hope you don't want to loose your customer.

Hi guys,

Thank you for posting the comments! I do admit that I´m not entirely there yet, and I do not know so much about SEO, so I know now where to look and what to learn! Will also adjust the fonts, more people complain about that.

Thanks again

All I'm getting is an empty page with a logo half-showing at the bottom

Yep totally agree about the text size, I had to squint to see it!

The BNIB have a superb section of their site at http://www.rnib.org.uk/xpedio/groups...nib008789.hcsp - it's jam packed full of good information
To my knowledge no-one in the UK has really been brought to task about non-accessible sites yet but it's probably only a matter of time!

i think the first page should have a bit more colour, something to excite my brain

But me, I like that color very natural and neutral.

**hellmet** · 03-25-2007, 02:28 AM

I'm impressed.

. I'm fine with the fonts too. Leave it as it is.

**BernardBlack** · 03-25-2007, 05:14 AM

Very good! Nice tech flowers ^_^

i would suggest to make your content stand out more, to me it looks like text just sitting on a white page, could be me though i am using a high resolution screen 1600 x 1200, i would make up a background just around the content of the page, give it a colour, some curved edges, your imagination could lead you to many different ideas.
