Hi everyone! I've been working hard on a new site. Basically, it is a site that scours out the best deals for everyone to take advantage of on the web. It's not finished yet and it's still in the works before I fully launch it out. All opinions and comments are appreciated. I would also love some SEO tips as well. Thank you DP! You're great! http://www.dealcanine.com
Looks nice. The banner took about 1 minute to load on my connection. Consider the loading time of your homepage. Also, it's not so obvious what your site does straight away. I'd be very weary of entering my number in there straight away.
Nice Design choice. I have to agree with Mark that the homepage lacks information so if you could populate it with a little text explaining the site idea a little more im sure that'll turn out great. My connection is fairly fast and your banner loaded after about 10 seconds for me. I guess it depends on everyones connection but also what format the file is etc. I dont know much of SEO coding myself however as I can see your using wordpress I'd recommened the SEO Plugins from wordpress, I use them on my own site and they work a charm Keep the site going id love to see it progress till the finishing point and ill be sure to use it when I can also. Jordan P.S - Nice display pic x
@ mark_w The banner seems to sometimes load a little fast and a little slow at times. I think I need to configure the times a little bit. And the SMS feature I put on the footer so it is not too overbearing. Where it used to be, I'll use those placeholders to describe the point of my site. @ Jordan260 Thank you! I will definitely continue to do more things to the website. It's not even finished yet! So there is plenty more to come. I will look into some SEO plug ins so hopefully that will help out a bit... keyword is hopefully! @ amigotthenews123 Thank you very much. I will be reviewing your site now.
Phew, glad its not a site about dog trading, anyway, how did you do the floating box with shadow? its A-MAZING!
Looks good. I'm confused by your decision to use photobucket to host your hero images. It's not like hosting is expensive these days!
Hi guys! Thank you for all of your input. The site is still under construction, but I am working towards it to get ready for press releases. If you could, could you make a bulleted list on what else you recommend for the site to be fixed? Thank you!
That's really different for a wordpress site - well done! Only criticisms are the long download time for the banner image and also the second banner stage (spring for the deal of the day) I think another font would be beneficial - something less, erm, squiggly is the word.

The first thing I said when I saw your page (which btw took a while to load) was '..aww, cute'. I think that's a good thing coming from someone who loves dogs. Design is clean and looks put together. It needs a lot of content, but it's definitely a very nice design and I also like how the main tabs have a small description underneath them. Good job.
Hi guys! Thanks a bunch for more of your reviews. I will definitely take all of your advice to help my site prosper!
