RE: Critique for Yahoo/Looksmart Submissions - 7/1/2001 20:54:00
The home page is very attractive, but I am a bit concerned about the lack of text. It may not hurt so much with Yahoo or others that use humans to review sites, but the ones who send spiders through will be coming up blank on keyword repeats and other textual fodder to index. Computers cannot see graphics.Being almost entirely graphical, it is also rather slow to load. Most of the graphics should be saved as .gifs instead of .jpgs. Save .jpg for photos and graphics with gradients, like the one with the head and lightbulb. You need to add alt text to your graphics. Right click the graphic > Picture properties > Alternative representations > Text. Also, spiders need textual links to get to other pages. It's usually a good idea to have text links on your page somewhere. The bottom of the page is a good place if you're using JavaScript at the top. It's a really nice, professional looking site. You've done a good job with it. Sandy ------------------ Stu Reilly Design Allegheny Web Dreamweaver Sites
