    Main service this website offer is Door to Door International shipments delivering. (Service similar to DHL, UPS or FedEx). This service specialized for travelers visiting to and from Sri Lanka. Do you get the impression in your first visit? or what places should i need to modify?

    Site layout and function is well-done.
    However, I have to ask:
    Why the big advert box?

    Best of Success,
    S.

    @a++ Thanks for your comment.
    @stephaniscoe
    I designed this big advert box to promote internal pages and activities on rotation basis. Because every thing cannot be linked from home page.

    Thanks for both of your positive comments. Any negative criticism? Do you feel like you are in a Freight forwarding/Shipping/ Logistics site upon first arrival?

    Negative criticisms:
    The update ticker tape seems to relate more to holiday information than shipping. This also applies to the city guides section which does not seem to belong on the page. Then, you have this marketplace section. So I don't know if you specialise in shipping services, holiday guides or are an "ebay" type site. Lastly, you need to review the grammar especially in the "Milestone Seven" section.

    Good stuff: It does look professional

    @tro2 Many thanks for your wonderful discovery. Before title + description made the complete sentence. However i made different kind of titles. Now it should make sense.

    Thanks for all your comments. Currently my site's Alexa rank in Sri Lanka is 610. I need to get in to top 50. What do you all think the best feature? to introduce next? Forum or a Image gallery?

    It looks very professional, but I found the fonts to be small and there's a LOT of text. I found the page to be intimidating. If I wanted to use your service, I doubt I would have the patience to read through everything. Consider reducing the amount of text to make it more concise.

    Everything looks good and professional. But have you ever considered that to use Seo Friendly URLs. I see there is a long numbers in each inner urls. Hope this help.
