♥Vger Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Whoah! A lime green background, with a logo that rotates on the vertical with a marquee that scrolls on the horizontal below it - talk about an assault on the eyes! I'm sorry - but I seriously believe that instead of trying to make it look like your old site you would have been better off redesigning it so that it looked a little more classy. The rotating logo is of poor quality, and no serious designer has used scrolling marquees for years. And all that keyword spam at the bottom of the page will get you serious demerits from Google, if not an outright ban. Vger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately we had to move fast to move our site over because of the situation with our old provider. We really do want to redesign the site. What kind of things do you suggest we do. The scrolling and rotating things are easily removed. We kind of need to keep the green. I am also a little confused about the "spam" comment as or home page has be basically copied over and has is a PR3. It is not excessively keyword dense either. What would you suggest to improve this? It is just a case of removing it? Are there any other contributions you would add? Kind regards Jax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatshoesday Posted May 11, 2008 Author Share Posted May 11, 2008 Garish comes to mind. Thanks for the feedback. Our image in our stores is generally a bit garish anyway. Although I take on board Vger's comments. I would be interested in what kinds of things we could do to make a bit more classy as Vger put it. Also, have we covered everything from a contributions perspective. Thanks Again Jax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥toyicebear Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 The site is "absolutely atrocious" . The color combination and the rotating logo makes the site look amaturish and is definetly in need of a do-over... To make the images look better aswell as improving page load time, install a thumbnails contribution.

I will also look at the thumbnailer contribution. Thanks again, Jax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
