Website Review Category Kick Off
by
Brett Bumeter
We are going to kick off a new segment on top 10 Tech Web Tip’s. It’s a new category were we will review websites and identified the three things that we like about the website and its design and the three things that we think could use improvement.
We will support some of our findings with their own assessments or reasons for why we like or dislike things as well as why we think certain things will work on the web and some won’t. A major component of learning how to run a better website is understanding what works and what doesn’t and to do that you have to review and look at hundreds if not thousands of websites.
Tonight we’ll kick it off by looking at a website that focuses on Las Vegas luxury homes. The website is located at www.lasvegasluxuryproperties.com.
The three things that we like
- For search engine ranking purposes we like the fact that this website has lots of actual hyperlinks as opposed to flash buttons in its sidebar
- We also like the rotating pictures that display luxury Las Vegas properties
- We like the color scheme for the site in general
The three things that we don’t like
- I like the fact that the website provides both an e-mail address and a phone number, but I think those phone numbers and the e-mail address should be moved into its own section somewhere lower on the page area is real estate website is detracting from the valuable webpage real estate by putting a phone number and e-mail address at the top
- this website has 20 errors and its validation, for website of this nature that’s attempting to attract attention through natural Google search this is a basic mistake that needs to be corrected. It’s not that difficult to validate a site especially when you only have 20 errors.
- The keyword density for this particular website is not bad, but is not especially good either. Each page covers too many keywords in that reduces the overall all density. They should focus more on individual keywords on individual pages that should help their overall results.
