Well that depends on the SEO emphasis from your friend during the design of the site and how much time you spend promoting/listing it etcfriend of mine has just finished mine using wordpress.

A website is nothing but a glorified business card without SEO
Interesting mix of info in here, so I thought I'd add another one... I made my own site in flash about 2 years ago, I own 2 servers so host it myself
any comments are welcome... rks.co
Dan how can I get my website name under my jacuzzi picture on this forum highlighted so someone can just click on it to link to website
Hi Taffy,
Hope you take this comment in the right way.
Flash sites do not work in terms of SEO as Google cant see your site (you got master piece in vault...see above). So in terms of design its one thing but you will never get any organic SEO traffic to your site. You need to rebuild this in HTML to take advantage of traffic
Google only seeing your site as 5 words site!!!!!!!
RKS KITCHENS BEDROOMS BATHROOMS SULLY PENARTH VALE OF GLAMORGAN.
Hence you dont rank for any terms... such as
"KITCHENS PENARTH"
"BEDROOMS PENARTH"
"BATHROOMS PENARTH"
If your site ranks well for x number of keywords that generate 7000 searches per month and you get 4% of that traffic from Google (because your site in top of the rankings) that’s 280 hits per month to your site (9.3 per day).
Is it better to look at visits, pages or hits per month to see how your site is doing? and how many of the preferred one would be a good number for sites like ours?
Okay I will try this, I did set up a google anylitics and webmaster tools account when I first did my site and had to put a tracking code into the site (does this sound right?) but when I logged in yesterday it said that I hadn't registered a site? strange
thanks its ok now .
i really dont know what im doing but my friend alan who has done all the work on this website has a much better idea than me.
we have arrived at the type of visual image i want.
he is not a web designer by profession but was in marketing and has learnt as he went along.
but when i look at site and click on portfolio to see images of work it seems to be very slow and i really want the pictures central and not be able to see anything in background.
I dont mind if we have to go to a specialist web designer for this extra work but dont want to have to start again as alan has done a very good job i think and i want him to take the credit if he wants to do more sites and use this site as an example of what he can do.
Dan. Why not sell links from this site as a Group buy inorder to help peoples SEO or even better give them away....
i.e. Create a Page on here for "Tiler London" and allow 10-20 websites be listed. That would really help people get more traffic/business from Google? Could really boost peoples businesses on here.
Perhaps people with the most posts get a page or a keyword for free. One way to repay the community for all thier top content!
Thanks so much for your reply.Hi Alan,
Your site/theme looks really good so dont get changing the design at all, just needs a little snagging. He's done you a nice site!
You need to get your designer to save your images optimised for web. Essentialluly the file sizes are too large.. your asking your visitors to download really large images which is unnecessary. In photoshop you can "save as web" and reduce the quality and size down. This will sort alot of your slowness out. 8 seconds to load a page will make most people click off before it's loaded.
Should only take him 2-3 hours to resave the images. It's a really simple job just boring (if they all need sorting that is). For example on your home page you have this image (double click and see how massive it is.. the shells the whole width of my screen) Broken Link Removed You could even do it!! Just need to download photoshop demo and a bit of instruction.
You have also got a link in the code thats causing issues. (wont really give you much in terms of speed when fixed but it should be fixed nevertheless)
The link is
link rel="stylesheet" href="[DLMURL]http://johnclarkenaturalstonework.co.uk/wp-content/themes/smallbiz/css/smallbiz-options.css.php[/DLMURL]" type="text/css" media="screen"
It's got two file extensions on the end of the link.css & .php so just delete the .php off the end and all will be sorted.
I would also get him to remove a plugin called "Stats for wordpress" as you have lots of plugins installed and you can just embed Google Anylitics and Google Webmaster Tools which are both free. Which renders this additional plugin useless.
Apart from that it looks good
