Post by: Kenny83 on April 13, 2012, 10:18:55 pm
Hi, would like your opinions please on this design here - www.ioptimise4u.co.uk/leekenny

it still needs images uploading and one or two tweaks

 or should i stick with my original one here? - www.powerwashcleaning.co.uk

Opinions / critisism / advice appreciated

Thanks

In my personal opinion: I prefer the new one.

Why
- cleaner and generally looks better
- scrolls smoother

Something that applies equally to both - I think there is too much for one page. I'm sure there is a better way to organise everything. But that's my personal view!

Good luck!

I'd keep them both and link them. I prefer the old one as the new one needs the reams of text breaking up or into pages

would it still be good for google if I kept them both? the new one has exactly the same text as the old one, everything is copied and pasted, the reams of text are needed on the same page to be honest for it to rank well, around 6 - 800 words with a keyword density (pressure washing) of 3 - 5%, with the new one i get a free mobile / PDA site aswell, which seems to be accounting for about 25% of my hits, how would you say the new one is in terms of usabillity

Thanks

Too much in what way would you say? too many features? or too much text?

Thanks

Lee k, is the new one a wordpress template? Cause you can just add a widget to create a mobole format of your website. You can add the widget to your old site and when people search it it will come up on their phones in a mobile format. search mine o  your phone an see.

I like your old ine better mate, but the new one might look as good once the header and all the pics are added.

For me too much words on one page and needing to scroll down, and down and down to read everything.

Would suggest better use of pages. Generally people are turned on/off in the first few seconds of looking at page. If off they hit the BACK button!
