Another Site to Critique Please - 11/9/2002 2:50:37
I have another site that I would like users to critique.
http://ardesigns.com/homesolutions/
I can say that the client is very set on having their phone number everywhere :)
Thank you,
Angela

It' s a really very nice site! I like the layout and design, and the colors. Maybe, though, you should add tad more cell padding around the main body text.
What I don' t care for is that the home page content is simply a mission statement. Just don' t think it' s the appropriate place to put that and it could be moved to somewhere else in the site and referenced with a link.
That doesn' t mean you can' t use some of the thoughts stated within the mission statement as part of an Introduction about the company. I think and Introduction statement is more appropriate for a home page.
Write some copy letting visitors learn more about " Creating Home Solutions." Tell them about the company, what their services are, how long they' ve been in business, how they work with clients, etc. Write it so visitors feel comfortable about working with the company.
Are they realtors, or members of an professional organizaion? If so, mentione it in the Intro, and if availble, place a copy of the association logo somewhere on the page.
[edit] I want to point out that an Intro should be different than the info on the " About us" page which is very long (I have not read it). It should not be that long or overwhelm readers with information. If visitors are " hooked" by the into, they will want to click around and find more detail about the company. [/edit]

Angela,
Very nice site.
I do agree with Gail on the additional cell padding.
The Referral page text is (in my opinion) way to long. It says good things but it goes on and on. How many folks will take time to read the whole thing?
Also, remember to change the title of your page from New Page 1.
All in all, a nicely done site.

It' s a good, clean looking site. Certainly the referrals page could be amended to just leave the benefits - perhaps bulleted as on the page " Selling a Home" . This page is much easier to digest.
What I particularly like is the bottom of each page - the pictures and the logo - could have made a good heading? Each page seems to come to life as your eyes get to the pictures. It nearly fits the screen on 800 x 600 IE6 -but I have to use a hor scroll to see the phone numbers top right.

Is there any way you could incorporate a link on the bottom of the long pages back to the top, so viewers don' t have to scroll back to get to the menu?
Otherwise I thought it was a very nice site, to the point, simple...not too flashy.
