Please review my shiny new website


http://www.dotcomdevelopment.com/

Please review the site in terms of design.

The content is taken from our old site and is yet to be up-dated.

The main thing about our site that makes it slightly different is that it's built using the Joomla / Mambo CMS and does not look anything like a typical Joomla / Mambo site. You shouldn't even be able to tell that the site is dynamic from the page url's, as we've made comprehensive use of the Apache URL rewrite engine. The only give away is the Google Maps contact us page.

We've also made an attempt to make the site SEO-friendly, with correct header tag usage and content header tag usage.

Please be kind,
Jon.

Re: Please review my shiny new website


The text in the three ad boxes (CMS SEO and E-commerce) doesn't look quite right i'd suggest getting rid of the shadowing.
Also the links (Home, About Us, Methodology and Contact Us) would seem to me to be more natural in the center of the page rather than the left-hand side.
Other than that i liked the site and all the links seemed to work fine. Good job!

I'll look at the text again in the boxes. It looks alright on my nice crisp monitor but only just. The menu at the bottom will have more links, which should then balance it out. Thanks dude!!

Re: Please review my shiny new website


I'm a big fan of Joomla CMS and this is definitely something to be proud of.
I've seen a lot of sites like this around the web with the biog cheesy blobs and black outline and kind of classy yet still a bit of fun in it.

I like the way you've integrated a text size increase/decreaser although the reset button isn't necessarily needed.

The top 3 modules are great and are just there, not put away and when I visit the site those 3 things are what I looked at first.

I'd suggest you only display 2 news items at any time on the home page. The latest news and popular modules are there for a reason - use them!

Overall it's a 9/10. Congratulations. I just don't like the blue like colour.

Re: Please review my shiny new website


I like the site, but I think the homepage is a bit on the busy side. You've got a lot of information that you present somebody when they first look at your site. I do like the blue color though.

Re: Please review my shiny new website


its a good site, nice design. but in terms of content, everything seems to be on mainpage, your aim should be to let people browse your site.
