My New WEbsite

[vivek_master146]

Friends! I have designed my father's business website:-

www.kriti-shawls-scarves.com

Please give comments about the Web design and whether it is SEO-Friendly.

[newyears1978]

Whoa..that lady image cutout job is really bad..when I see things like that on sites I leave immediately (just my opinion). Be glad to fix it for you if you PM me the image link (the original image)

The rest of the site is ok..basic stuff..not too pretty..but serves it's purpose.

Edit:
Also I would change that top line to "Manufacturer of scarves, shawls and fashion accessories of all types." and make sure to put a space after the comma :) It's run together up there.

Get rid of the scrolling text down the bottom. Put it as text not scrolling.

Definitely could have used a joomla shop template or what not. But its nice and basic for the purpose served.

[webvinay]

I think there are large blank spaces which are not fully utilized ...try to use them or make page smaller in length..

[skinstc]

Hi, I think this is old style html coding :)

[vivek_master146]

@newyears1978

I will try to make it perfect.

@DeviantOne

Are scrolling-text not good for SEO.

[SeventhSin]

maybe center the page to?
but never the less does what it needs to do :)

[vivek_master146]

[anjum shaikh]

:) Hello vivek i've read other's comment, but i think in our country(india), We like this type of thing only but friend if u just change the background it will look sober.Also wait for other's comment what they say and finally do the changes,

best of luck,

anjum shaikh

@anjum

Hey! but all are saying that color combination is quite good

[euphoriajoca]

Hello,
it is SEO unfriendly.

For the start, change the title:
<title>silk scarves exporters,beaded scarf,indian scarves manufacturers,india</title> You should put in title name of the website with some short info, or just name, something like this: NAME - best buy

Then keywords:
<meta name="keyword" content="silk scarves manufacturers,scarve suppliers,scarf manufacturer,scarves wholesalers,scarves exporters,indian scarf,scarf manufacturer india,scarves in india,indian scarf,silk scarves,pashmina scarves,beaded scarves,crochet scarves,cashmere scarves,wool scarves,beach scarves,velvet scarves,designer scarves, men scarves,chenille scarve,cotton scarves,
satin scarves,polyester,nylon,cotton scarves,paisleys scarves,handmade scarve,embroidered scarve,knitted scarves">

You shouldn't put a million keywords. Maximum 5 from my experience. 3 to 5. Use keywords from the text u use on the page. Example: Silk, Shawls, Pareos, Scarves
Use div, don't use tables.
This one is good: <META NAME="robots" CONTENT="index,follow"> :)

And maybe u should learn some css: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rlz=1B3GGGL_enRS289RS289&q=css+tutorials&btnG=Search

I hope I was helpful, sorry if I was too critic...

[vivek_master146]

@euphoriajoca
Hey! I have put the meta tags by seeing the competitors website. They are all ranking at top in google.

Use div, don't use tables.

Do you mean layers? I haven't used tables. I have only used tables for the text-link(bottom of the website) part.

Thanks very much for the criticism. This criticism only improves a person's performance.

[vivek_master146]

Hey all! I have changed my website's background color.

I am pretty sure that that much keywords isn't good. Listen me, and by next indexing you will get on better position that your competitor. :)

[elmasry]

the credits look so unprofessional.
you may also consider change the homepage title

[vivek_master146]

@euphoriajoca

Sure, I will shorten the no. of keywords. Hows the new background color ?

Do I need to reduce keywords from all web pages or only homepage ?

[euphoriajoca]

U should change it everywhere.

Here is some good SEO example: http://www.magazine13.com/

Look the PR and look into article keywords. As well see this:
http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Amagazine13.com&sourceid=navclient-ff&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1B3GGGL_enRS289RS289

I hope it will help u a little. Google about SEO tips.

[mediabanana]

The site could certainly benefit from some additional SEO work, maybe it was just the page I checked, but there were no keywords at all. The site's design overall is simply too ...simple -people expect more from a site, especially if they are going to trust enough to buy something from it.

you may have some luck using a a prebuilt system if you can't afford to have a site designed for you -look into things like Joomla and CMS Made Simple, these programs have templates available that you can simply plug in and use. There will be a bit to learn with installing it all, but if you managed to build this, you should be able to fumble through a CMS install.

@DeviantOne

It looks better now, but there is still white in the scarf fringe and also inside her arm (between her arm and body)

Much better though =)

[blackrosezy]

Thats old 90' style.I think you should :

1) Add more picture in frontpage
OR
2) Use new styles (web 2.0).You can download many FREE templates from here http://klcj.net/page/view/css

[inspirdSolutions]

Hi,

The writing under in the header area is a bit blury, you should change this to make it clearer. I think the overall site is not very eye catching so you should make the design stand out more. Start by picking a color scheme using adobe kuler

After you pick a good color sceme you should definatley change the menu area so that it looks more appealing try using web 2.0 standards

Hope this helps :)

I am not a professional web designer. Its just my hobby.

Web designing is an art. How it can be improved?

I always find something lacking in my website when i look at others website. Their work looks professional.

So many people ask the same question.

One thing I always do with my sites is have the content on a white (or close to white) background with the other colour as the background. Notice that many sites (Live.com, Ask.com, even vBull) have a background and then a white background inside it (even though vBull has the posts in a different colour...)

This way it is easy to read and most of the time looks easy to read.

Anyway, that's my 2 cents.

Best of luck with your site!

@^^^^^

I didn't got my answer :(

[wobmop]

The menu sticks out too much (the colour). i would change it so it goes with the colour scheme. The webiste is pushed over to the left, center it, it will look much better.
Don't have the main text in italics and definetley get rid of the scrolling box at the bottom, it looks out of place and awful and not good for SEO purposes.

HOWEVER, I like the header, the header is well designed, apart from it needs to go right across the width of the page to promote consistency.

[vivek_master146]

@wobmop

Headers ?

The < h2 > headers ?

@all

Hey! I have changed the scroll text and the content from italics to normal.

[vivek_master146]

@^^
Or the image headings ?

[wobmop]

image headings

[vivek_master146]

Hey! I just checked the website in IE. The color of lady cutout background and other image heading(i.e. catalog, contact us) is bit different from Firefox.

What the hell!!!!!! :(

[bcowan]

The first thing I saw was the cut out of the woman but it appears that other people are fixing that problem for you.
Also I really enjoy seeing alot of gradients in websites. I believe it looks more professional. I would recommend that you put a little gradient to your backround and header.

There is also to much wide open blank spaces. It really isn't needed.

Other than those small flaws I believe its a nice simple site. It serves its purpose well.

[wad3]

You have to fix the cut out woman or the entire website is going to look like trash IMO, but other than that it looks good.

[yeeckoh]

The women cutout need serious work, really bad, need shadow. Too many spacing and box below could be higher. The whole page could have present without scolling down.

[vivek_master146]

Thanks for the suggestions.

But I wonder why the lady cut-out background color looks bit different in IE from Firefox. ?

[vivek_master146]

Pl reply :(

[wobmop]

This is because IE renders things differently than FireFox as it has a different box model.

However, I have looked at your page in both IE 7 and IE 6 as well as FireFox and this image looks exactly the same in all three of them. Might be something at your end?

[vivek_master146]

The image looks same but there is a difference in the background color of the image. Ok i will also post the screen-shot.

[SiteTalkZone]

Hi you have used tables and inline styling bad for accessibility and SEO. Use CSS style sheets and divs. I would use an list for the menu. It might be worth your while to read this: http://sitebusinesszone.com/site-design-for-accessibilty

[vivek_master146]

@^^^^

Where I have used tables ? :eek:

Its only in the box at the bottom. I have mostly used layers.

[pilotX]

I like the idea, but the chick looks like she is floating. try adding a shadow or a line so it looks like shes standing on solid ground. Also the contact us looks a little cramped try changing the verbiage. Maybe you could call it support or something of that nature.

[vivek_master146]

Some more comments...

[elias_sorensen]

Wow... Just felt I was back in the 90's :eek:

Sorry.. It's ugly.

[normalfx]

Too much space. It would be better if you reduce it.

[vivek_master146]

Please give some SEO tips.
