Hi Guys, Please review my latest website created for a client. I use fancybox for maps. Please give your reviews. web :www.realestatesihomes.com
Hi, in my opinion here is too many dark and too many color, and "Search Homes for Sale" box it is inappropriate to site designs. On different browsers page looks different.
*** WARNING *** I can be a bit harsh, but I'm trying to help by telling you EXACTLY what's wrong with it. Consider this the Gordon Ramsey treatment. <brokenrecord> The fixed width layout and absurdly undersized fixed metric (px) fonts is an accessiblity train wreck, with some of the color contrasts dangerously close to being illegible. On the whole the design reeks of the worst of "But it looks fine on my screen" forgetting that the rest of the world may not have that perfect mix of width and resolution you do. </brokenrecord> Of course, the PICTURE of a form that takes you to a form page -- that's just classic comedy right there. It also seems to be painful to try and scroll in some browsers, an indication of "endless pointless nested tables". Under the hood the first line alone proudly proclaims much of it's problem -- being a tranny. Transitional means your code is in transition from 1997 to 1998 coding practices, and this shows just about everywhere from the tables for layout, tables for nothing, relative lack of semantic markup, presentational garbage that has no business even being in the markup, fictional made up tags that don't even EXIST (copyright for example, there's no such tag!) ... and of course the requisite jQuery for nothing page bloat mated to static scripting in the markup. <brokenrecord> It is also painfully slow to watch load... Hardly a shock with the massively bloated 1.2 MEGABYTES in 97 files; an indication it's just kind of slapped together any old way. This is borne out by the 63k of HTML being used to deliver 5k of plaintext and maybe two dozen content images -- anywhere from four to six times as much markup as should be present. That said markup is filled with outdated practices, nothing remotely resembling semantics and pretty much reeking of "accessibility, what's that?" meaning most all of it belongs on the cutting room floor. </brokenrecord> Some image optimization and actually using images the size you are showing them would also help a LOT... More so swinging an axe at the scripting... You've got 658k of images doing what I doubt needs more than a third that, and close to 400k of scripting that by what I'm seeing for functionality on the page shouldn't need more than 10 to 15k to accomplish. But yeah, that jQuery garbage SO saved you time and effort. <broken record> Yet Another site I would recommend throwing out completely and starting over from scratch with semantic markup, separation of presentation, and an eye towards accessible design -- since as it sits right now there is nothing I'd even try to salvage from it. I feel bad for the client... </brokenrecord>
Ok, here are some tips after checking your site The design is clean and polished but I'd rather use a lighter color with a slightly bigger font. Be careful since IE 5 and 6 do not support PNG images with alpha-channel transparency You should compress your HTML to reduce your page size, the site is taking forever to load Include your keywords in the meta title/description Try to get rid of the nested tables, inline styles and JS G Luck!
