New Website


Martinell

Recommended Posts

BM CyberHippie has made a new and fantastic website for me, it is almost finished, but I would like some feedback on it.

 

http://www.martinell-pattaya.com/

 

It's 2 things I have observed, the contact page is not finished and video pages are slightly higher than the other, is there nothing elles ?

Now mate the web site is looking Awesome.

 

And of course the pictures bring back some great memories.

 

Some feedback as you requested.

 

Yes i also noticed the video page and the contact page, the words Contact Form on the Contacts page can not clearly be seen.

 

Other thoughts, when i open a picture to view then want see next picture it would be good if there was a next button so we could move from picture to picture rather than open picture, close picture, open next picture.

 

On the directions page maybe include some thai directions for taxi drivers

 

All in all it looks great made very Modern, clean, crisp and easy to navigate.

Also you have some latest pics on home page, however on clicking the images they do not link you through to the gallery which would be cool

Nice site, a couple of things that I noticed (in no order):

 

* Some of your staff pictures are way to big for my screen, and I'm running at 1920x1200

* Your latest pictures and latest videos images on the home page aren't clickable. Would be nice if they would at least take you to the picture/video page if not the item in question.

* Logo isn't clickable, most logos on web sites take you back to the home page.

* Clicking on the Martinell's Sport bar on your google map goes to "http://www.martinell-pattaya.com/index.htm?http://www.martinell-pattaya.com/sportbar.htm" which 404s. As does the Martinell's Boxing bar link.

* You might want to look into putting a sitemap.xml on your site for SEO purposes (I'm not an SEO expert, just a web dev). This web site should help http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/.

* The following text stood out on the home page because is was saying "the best cancer"

"As a bonus, our customers can take advantage of our wireless Internet, or perhaps you can Skype with the staff in the bar if they are not to busy with their work, it means that the best cancer are between 5 and 9 pm locale time."

* You might also want a footer on each page with a copyright statement.

* Would be nice if you had the actual address on the site, maybe even an image of the address in Thai for a taxi driver.

* You might want to put in the page title what the page is, e.g. Martinell Sport Bar - News.

 

I hope I haven't offend with my comments and they are of some use to you.

 

Looking forward to popping into your bar when I'm over in June.

I think you need to use different background colours from a user experience prospective. Maybe white background with some red and text in black.

The site is looking good IMO.... a couple of things...

 

All your images are named like 123456.jpg your file names should be descriptive of the images themselves.... in time your images will be indexed by Google images.... a valuable source of incoming traffic.

 

Get signed up to google analytics and get the code onto your site so you can see where your traffic is coming from and a whole load more.

 

Good to see a favicon....well done.

 

Do you have a sitemap? Has it been submitted to Google webmaster tools?

 

You have a contact us form so you should also have a privacy policy in place... Google would like to see that to.

 

Don't be another bar owner who creates a 9 page website and then leaves it for years without adding anything to it..... create more pages with new information on = Google will have more pages to include in its results and will probably crawl your site more often = the more pages you have included in googles results the more ways people can find your site = more traffic = more potential customers to your bar.

 

Things to think about.... content is king!.... Build good quality inbound links.... viral videos.... viral images.... use social marketing (read www.mashable.com)... remember it is a marathon not a sprint!

Images, they are named automatically when I upload them.

 

Analytics, I have analytics through my provider.

 

Favicon :Chokdee:

 

Sitemap :Laugh1:

 

No years without adding anything, I promise.

 

Things to think about, I have people to do it for me :What:

 

thanks for the input :)

have to agree with terry tibbs comments - there are so many bar owners websites out there, and they are all outdated. If you put some effort in and keep it up to date and interesting, im sure it could be a real money spinner for you.

You have paid for a good site, its worth getting it SEO'd. (these are not problems)

 

Here is some SEO on page optimisation points.

 

 

the title tag on the index page is better as <title>Martinell Sport Bar Pattaya</title>

 

 

Title tags are the same for every page, they should be different. i.e

 

http://www.martinell-pattaya.com/'>http://www.martinell-pattaya.com/

 

<title>Martinell Sport Bar Pattaya</title>

 

http://www.martinell-pattaya.com/'>http://www.martinell-pattaya.com/news.php

 

<title>Martinell Sport Bar - News</title>

 

 

Need to add the canonical element on the index page, as you currently have duplicate content issues.. (quicker than me showing you how to fix it)

 

i.e http://www.martinell-pattaya.com/'>http://www.martinell-pattaya.com/index.php and http://www.martinell-pattaya.com brings up the same page, not to mention http://martinell-pattaya.com/ and http://martinell-pattaya.com/index.php

 

 

The "home" link, should point to http://www.martinell-pattaya.com/'>http://www.martinell-pattaya.com/ not http://www.martinell-pattaya.com/'>http://www.martinell-pattaya.com/index.php

 

need to add a site map http://www.martinell-pattaya.com/'>http://www.martinell-pattaya.com/sitemap.xml

 

You should have a custom 404 error page with all your links on

 

menu links are better to have full url rather than relative ones.

 

you should have a h1 tag on each page

 

32 errors to fix http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.martinell-pattaya.com%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0

 

every picture should have an alt tag, and be as honest as you can, what is in the picture

 

You should have a meta description on each page, with a two sentence description, this has just recently started to affect rankings severely (due to personalised search to users not logged in)

 

You really should add google analytics at the bottom of the page, its far superior and nicer for google to see your bounce rate

 

maybe add this http://www.addthis.com/

 

and google translate option http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp&q=google+translate+button&aq=f&aqi=g2&oq=&fp=64df356c6a3f8304

 

that will do for now, off to bed!

see those descriptions need to be added asap http://www.google.com/#hl=en&safe=off&q=site%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.martinell-pattaya.com%2F&aq=f&aqi=&oq=&fp=64df356c6a3f8304 (here is what your site looked like before, without them)

 

You should have this at the top of the pages

 

<meta name="description" content="Add two sentance description" />

<meta name="robots" content="index, follow" />

<meta name="revisit-after" content="30 days" />

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" />
