New Website launch, asking for feedback
-
Hey Guys, I just launched my new website. I just asking around for feedback. Please check it out if you have time and let me know

// PLEASE IGNORE THIS RESPONSE, AM TESTING SOMETHING. THANKS!! //
One thing I would add is a "Book Services" button or "Request a Quote".
I have used this technique on tons of my sites with amazing success. It allows people to feel like they are actually buying something and it takes people from "information requesters" (contact us) to buyers faster. Most sites I create I let them buy right there. But your situation is a little different as you need to give a bid. People want immediate gratification, buy now!!! Let them give you all the info right away if they will.
For the booking page/request a quote page:
Make check boxes for what people want:-Web Design
-Logo Design
-Graphic designMake a place for them to upload suggestions or urls of sites they like or Pinterest pins for logo designs. All the things you need to make your life easier. Or that you already request. You can actually use it for every client, so you have a run down of just what they want. Refine it as you find out just what people want from the form.
It just takes the customer into your process faster and helps skip steps.
Also, I noticed on your navigation you should lump service types together. It is to much to look at quickly and immediately makes me want to look away.
I would use something more like (most popular first):
Design Services:
Graphic Design
Logo Design
Web DesignMarketing Services:
content writing
social media marketingYou get the idea (with a bread crumb trail or hover to show other services). I know you may have put them all on the same services tab because of indexing, but they will all get indexed. Once indexed, the 'child pages' pages will make the 'parent page' Stronger.
Example:
Parent: Design Services
Child: Graphic Design -Logo Design-Web DesignThe child pages are going to help build more relevance for your page "Design Services" because of your great "Child page" references about different kinds of design.
Hope that helps!
Visually it looks great! -

I think this looks awesome! Really nice design, clear and easy to read content. Nice work!
The only thing I noticed was that the font you're using (is it Merriweather Sans?) is looking a little grainy in my Chrome: http://s4.postimg.org/xmgucmuel/merriweather.png
I'm using Version 36.0.1985.143 m. Appreciate this might be a stylistic thing, so if so, no worries!

Hi, You must be excited. I know how much work goes into a redesign. Here are some things I noticed while browsing the site on a PC using Internet Explorer (yes, the nasty, unforgiving IE...the bane of Web Devs everwhere!!):
- There is a problem with the placement of some text in your Contact Us forms (I attached a screenshot)
- In the blog, the "Like This" gets stuck on "Like Loading"....kinda reminds me of a spaced out Valley Girl
- When I click "Share This" I am just popped to the top of the page...and I can't really share anything.
Screenshots attached. Hope that's helpful!

Weird Layout on Initial Website Load?
Whenever I open my site from an uncached source, like google incognito, for a split second it displays purple links and a white background while it loads the rest of the content. I've included a screenshot. Is there any way to fix that.? The site is www.kemprugegreen.com. u8P9q

Multiple websites for different service areas/business functions?
I'm wondering what the implications are for having multiple domains for different service areas of a company? I realize having multiple domains for one company can be troublesome because of the possibility of duplicate content, keyword cannibalization, and linkbuilding to multiple domains. But when the domains are for very different service offerings/unique business functions that each serve their own purpose (and have different positionings), is there a downside to having more than one domain? Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Need to rebuild client's flash website
I am working with their web designer and need to figure out a way to rebuild their site which is currently all in flash. I was wondering if there was a way to do this without spending a ton of time in completely re-doing the site from scratch.

Google penalty for links opening in new tab?
Our web services provided suggested that Google doesn't like in-text links that open the link in a new tab. Can anyone verify this? We often link to outside credible resources for our audience, though it seems smarter to open in a new tab rather than risk that the person will not navigate back to our site after finding us. Thank you in advance!

Implementing a new Nav Bar: Best practice, SEO benefit, your suggestions?
Hi Mozland, We are going to have a new Nav Bar for our site built from the horror that we currently have to up with. We want to make it a simple affair, similar to The Guardian two-tier Nav Bar - main menu which will drop down to the 2nd tier according to what you clicked on in tier one. Regular stuff, I think. Any suggestions, from your experience, about how best to implement this, what to include, what not to do, what can be included and done to make it as best it can be to get people to peruse our site as easily as possible? Thanks

How would restructuring the navigation of my website affect my rankings?
I want to restructure the navigation of my website for a few reasons: 1. It isn't intuitive/clear to the user 2. It is way too big, it has too many links and thus causes the number of links on many pages to be >100. 3. I want to get rid of file extensions as part of the URLs (.html, .php) 4. I want to achieve a "tree"-like navigation system, with categories, subcategories and so on. In the process of cleaning up my website, I had to 301 redirect a lot of duplicate pages, fix broken links, etc. I have a lot of 301 redirects already, and in the process of restructuring the navigation of my website I know I'm going to get more. Will the addition of new 301 redirects have an effect on my rankings? (I'm basically going to be changing all of the URLs) What kind of SEO effect will restructuring the navigation at the top of the page (reducing the # of links on the main menu) have on my site? What is the best strategy to implement in this situation?
