Mixed reviews on my website

[kirkmbrown2001]

Hey everyone!

I have created many posts under the "website" thread so I can help others with their website. Now I am looking for your help!

I have mixed reviews on my website and they can usually be broken down into two categories:


It is too busy / too much stuff going on
It is the best website I have seen in a long time - Love it!


I wanna get a feel on what you guys think and see what the majority rules.

My website is: www.kirkslawncare.com (http://www.kirkslawncare.com)

Thanks for your help!

Not a single opinion???

It looks like so far I am the only one who voted but hopefully there will be more.

I do like your website. It is just different enough that it is eye catching. The one suggestion I would have is to add a little more to the about us page. If I were looking for a lawn care professional and there is no address for them I would feel they had something to hide or might be afraid unhappy customers would track them down. I also like to know where somone is from even though there is a list of communities you service. I also think it would make it more personal if you had your photo on that page.

On the front page dont bullet "the grass is growing" and your bulleting is messed up in general.

Your page title isnt optimised

Your H1 tag should be specific for seo. Pick your best keyword and use that in a phrase. Do this for your targeted keywords for all your headers

On the about us page, the first sentence is perfect for an seo location. "...to our (name of town or city)"

You got a 67 on websitegrader.com, pretty good. Your site could easily hit 80's.

Don't like the font you have chosen throughout, go back and make it easier for my eyes and I will read more...

In regards to the bulleting, I assume you are using IE 9. In IE 8, it looks fine. I can't find a fix for the bullets.

I use firefox. The bullets are spread apart from the phrase, but it looks fine on IE.

i would get rid of the toolbar in the bottum on page. just my .2 cents. And try to find a calmer font

My thoughts too.
I do like the site though, far better than I can do. I even find SiteTonight a PITA

i went with 1.

Kirk, I know you are trying and that is real important, But you may want to hire some professional help,

Keep up the effort. That is more than most men ever do.

Your bullet problem is in here. I think the div align is missing from the first two - the part I bolded. You have it before the font color on all the other ones below, but not the two above it.

<li>

<font color="#008800" face="Arial">Spring City</font>

</li>
<li>

<font color="#008800" face="Arial">Royersford</font>
</li>
<li>
<div align="center">
<font color="#008800" face="Arial">Phoenixville</font>
</li>

<li>
<div align="center">
<font color="#008800" face="Arial">Kimberton</font>
</li>
<li>
<div align="center">
<font color="#008800" face="Arial">Mont Clare</font>
</li>

<li>
<div align="center">
<font color="#008800" face="Arial">Glenmore</font>
</li>
<li>
<div align="center">
<font color="#008800" face="Arial">Chester Springs</font>
</li>

<li>
<div align="center">
<font color="#008800" face="Arial">Elverson</font>
</li>
<li>
<div align="center">
<font color="#008800" face="Arial">Pottstown</font>
</li>

The site is pretty decent, but I prefer darker text for ease of reading.

Honestly the site looks rather dated but IMO its more important to be seen and to have your information up front. That being said, there are things that are missing like SEO. I assume your main goal is to attract new customers by showing up when someones types "Lawn Care in (City) (state)
For on page SEO you want to make sure that your meta-tags are arranged correctly. Your page title tags and description tags should describe the content of your different web pages.

<head>
<title>Kirk's Lawn Care - Home</title>
<meta name="description" content="Quality Lawn Care services at Affordable Rates serving Spring City, Royersford, Pheonixville, Kimberton, Mont Clare, Glenmore, Chester Springs" />
<meta name="keywords" content=" Lawn Care, lawn Maintenance, Mowing, Aeration, De Thatching, Lawn Renovation, mulch, landscaping, landscape maintenance, snow plowing, snow removal, snow and ice removal, Spring City, Royersford, Pheonixville, Kimberton"/>


Make sure you label the different headers on your web pages using <h> tags with 1 being the most important
<h1> Welcome to the Kirk's Lawn Care website! </h1>

<h2> We service the following areas: </h2>


Hope Ive been at least a small amount of help!
