Hey Everyone! I was wondering if I could get any feedback on my site. I am currently ranked PR2 and am getting decent traffic. Not exactly what I hope. I am trying to figure what is the good, bad and ugly about my site. Also, ways if possible improve it. Url: http://www.doc1vitamins.com Thanks so much!
Hi there, The site is appealing overall but it's very graphic intense, resulting in slow loading times. When you're selling products you should ensure that you have a fast enough server and your graphics are saved to reduce the size of the graphic (while still retaining quality -- .GIFs work well). Other than that though I really like the site. All the best, Liam
yes, like ponynugget said... your web loaded with graphic, take some time to load it. The navigation is easy and functional..try to change the font at your blog to match the font in the left hand side.. other than than, your blog is nice and look clean
Hello Vibes63 I had a chance to look at your website tonight. My Thoughts Header The header is good... but I still think that it could be simplified and represent Good Health! The wording in the header... I would recommend using 'Physician Selected Vitamins' or something like that... Home Page Content I'd recommend that you get to the point on what you are selling. I am disappointed that I had to read all that to find out what you were selling. I think the long story could be used on an Information Page. I would also recommend that you use a little bigger font. Not to much bigger. At present its quite small... I'm not sure what age group your after... but I'm still quite young with 20 - 20 vision I still find its a bit much to read... Navigation Some of the navigation is redundant. In the main orange navigation... I'd recommend removing... 'Health Links' & 'Contact Us' The top right navigation... change the name of the link from 'Health' to 'Links' Template Nice template you have chosen Favicon You need to get your favicon updated. I can see that you still have your Host Monster favicon. Conclusion Overall... I like the site.. It has a good template... and a lot of work has gone into it. This review was done with FireFox 2.0.0.7 on PClinuxOS 2007. I do hope this helps you. Respectfully. Lhlalyam
Thanks so much for the extensive review. I really appreciate your time. I will definitely look into the suggestions in details. As you had mentioned any introduction, is not valuable? I was making it more robust for search engines....but I was not sure how to make the site high yield for SE and enjoyable for visitors..... I am trying to users to understand their health more and also purchase products that high in quality. To me, its much harder to generate traffic and interest. Thanks so much Vilash
What is the main age group of your market and where do they live? That would give me some ideas to promote your site. Lhlalyam
Main group is from United States (since it can only be shipped on that country); Target age group in 35 - 60 though outliers are well appreciated...
Well to begin, I think you may not be getting much traffic because your domain is long and a lot of people might not remember it. I would consider purchasing a second domain, possibly d1v.com or something shorter. As for the site itself, my first opinion was not a good one, seemed kind of busy, but as I analysed it, I only noticed a few things I really truly didn't like. The colors for one are kind of powerful, which might be a good first impression on someone else, but on me, it's not. The navigation seems to be the most poorly designed thing on the page, which is a big turn off for me. However, I do love the navigation icons above the banner, nice touch. The overall content of your site and usability of your site seems to be great. A lot of sites are missing that now-a-days. The topic does not seem to be my favorite subject, but I bet there is a big audience for that kind of discussion. Good luck with your site.
Your site look great.. and i think other comment is sufficient enough to help you...also, watch out your spelling.
I would recommend that you put the word out that you are looking for advertising to purchase. Specifically sites that cater to people in the US between the ages of 35 - 60. This would be your best start. Also have a budget in mind. Review some of the links for sale... and see what the going price is... and take it from there! If you purchase banner spots... then get them designed here at DP... Second question: what do you think your market is interested in? Sports? Cooking? Dancing? Bingo? Lhlalyam
Site looks great. Loading time is not great - but that is because of images. Information is good, relavent and usefull. Suggestions; reduce graphics required to load template and investigate into on page search engine optimisation
The slowness on the homepage specifically related to the graphics...now is there a way to pre-load it? Or something like? I tried to script it in html because I thought it it would be a fast option..... Thanks for compliment...I tried my best....waiting for traffic to validate it....
How do I speed up the site? Minimize the number of graphics or do I change the format html vs php etc. Also, are there any scripts to pre-loaded more dense files?
I think it looks great, but I agree that it is a bit too much information and it is a bit graphic intensive. Maybe you should aim at sucking the visitor in with a bit less information, copy with a bit more punch and less of it would stand out more. Once you have explained the benefits, you can have subsections on other pages. Good luck!
