cree124 Posts: 73 From: Lithonia, GA USA Status: offline	Give it to me straight - 6/15/2001 20:28:00 Open to any ideas for improvement. This was my first attempt at website design. I am looking to change it to a template for next year. Thinking of purchasing the the "stack up" swish template. Feedback?

You're doing very well... especially for your first!

Keep in mind that reading a web page isn't nearly as easy as reading print. Some techniques you might use are breaks within paragraphs, re-wording so sentences are concise, use bullets for brief pieces of information instead of long sentences - ie. doctor's bios, you could have headings for education, career, noted work and awards, or whatever, then have lists below them.

The same for the opening paragraph on the home page... you might try putting the disorders in lists and link them directly to that information.

The doctor_text.htm page could be the staff page; symtom_list could replace disorders. All the disorders could have their own pages.

From a search engine standpoint, it would be a good idea to have the text Attention Deficit Disorders (ADD) on the home page linked to another page just on that with the subject as the title. If you do this for the major things the clinic deals with, it will help pull in not only the search engines, but also people looking for this information.

Under latest research, don't use all caps for the "headlines", and add in some captions to each headline to add interest and some more content to the page.

You're off to a very good start. ...don't forget to go through and put more descriptive titles on the pages.

The title is shown at the very top of the browser. Your home page is titled Home Page. Go into the html view and you'll see this at the top:

Highlight:

then cut/paste that to right below <head>

It's best to have your title, description, and keywords at the top of the head, but FP2000 throws the title down lower. Here's an article about using the title: www.searchengines.com/HTMLtitle.html . There are also articles there on using the meta tags for descriptions and keywords.

If that's more than you want to deal with right now, you can always come back to it later.

Great for a first go - well done. Here's a link to a resource about writing for the web:
