Thanks - quick response: Logo- yeah something doesn't look right. Image loading- agree but how can this be improved? BG Colour- required effect, a bit subjective, but it's colour! Bus Nr - on CONTACT page Online Cat - agree, but SHOP sounds better(?) and more prods to be added to catalogue very soon Pro Look v Friendly Look - I was hoping for both but in the crunch, opt for Pro rather than Ffriendly and new site expected to look and function better than old site. Lets see what else come up. But thanks for that Forbairt.         |
) as such I'm not sure if its breaking some useability guidelines ... (but that is a bit of a technical / useability issue as opposed to an actual fault on the site)|

 Image loading speeds is mostly down to your hosting provider ... I've not checked out who it is (just did ... and its hosting365 ...) .. I don't think its an issue wiht hosting365 ... I think its an issue with the images being 150kB in size each ... you have a lot of the image you're not using ... why ? by chopping out the bits you're not using you can easily save yourself 75kB ... also decrease the compression you are using ... if you're not sure how .. feel free to post in the new graphic design sub section  you can also have a photoshop batch job do this for you ... load directory of images .. resize ... and hey presto it'll read in 500000 images and resize to your requirements You may also be able to use some ajaxy goodness .. didn't check if you were or not in the page ... Did notice slightly weird javascript in the bottom of your page for google analytics ? ... are you actually using https on your site ?

| is nice but still a lot of essential things missing (e.g. href title tag) Images: make thumbnails and only onclick display the large one, this way you can have all of them onto one page. I understand the green colours of your choice but I do think is too much of it. You can find a different matching colour for the background. Logo as it was said not clear enough.

| Thanks for the feedback guys and before responding just to clarify I'm from the client side of the project but my interest is for feedback to identify any particular issues (technical/graphic) with the new site that might give rise to underperformance or enhance overall performance. I am not involved in website development and lack the technical competence, however our objective is to create a site that is free of any obvious serious technical flaws and offering a good user experience. Responding to previous posts: Firstly Forbairt,

| run your website through this project : SEO Website Analyzer Project and it will point out some of the things that you might want to look into. the "title" href tag is the text that shows up when you put your mouse over a text link (e.g. [href='link_to_the_page.html' title='link description']anchor text[/a]) |

| Just thought I'd give some update/feedback. A couple of months on and Google Analytics is proving to be a very helpful tool for analysing 'web traffic' visitor behaviour (sources, referrals, page views etc etc). We're still in development mode, adding more features and content but we're happy with the SEO data to-date, scoring high in several keyword areas. With vistors typically viewing 30+ pages over 9 minutes, we're happy content/presentation appears to be working. Plenty of unsolicited feedback on graphics all without any exception has been very positive, some even glowing. More features to be added Blog is iminent, then Virtual Tours (to feature Project Before and Afters) and Shop, but some nicer stuff later. Anyone care to comment/advice on +/- on Virtual Tours ? |
