Minimalistic is the way to go. Nice use of white space. Simple,elegant and straight to the point. Its reflects apple and their products. However, why not have columns on the landing page below the jquery slideshow. That way visitors can see what they want in a flash and you do not have to scroll to the bottom of the page. It will also differentiate the landing page from other pages. On Thu, Feb 11, 2010 at 9:41 AM, Rahim Kara <skunkingrahim@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi bigboss,
taken your notes in mind and will adjust site accordingly, thanks for the w3c link, its a great help.
The meta tag info for SEO will be added soon, i've got peons who're working on that front now. :D
My mailer was sent out to the list and not to individual email add's, which means i only have the mailing list address on my db and it broadcasts my mails to y'all so unsubscribing would be impossible unless i've actually got your email add on my db. In which case, please send me the add you rec'v my emails on and i'll unsubscribe you myself.
Keep em coming. And if there's anyone else on list who wants out of my Elite Mailing DB, please email me on
unsubscribe@eliteken.com

Rahim,
Looks good !!
A/ Slow at fist load because of the jquery I guess... I would load the jquery hosted by Google instead of code.jquery.com
B/ Div menu can be enhanced, a grey block with times font doesn't work. Then, I would put it at the top of the page (above the Apple logo)
C/ SEO - More meta tag (description, keywords, ) then add a detailed title in all your links (a href="" title=""). "Kenya's first and only apple reseller" should be in text and not image
D/ As suggested before, I would personally compact everything so that it fits in a browser vertically. More local content and stuff would be good also
E/ Then, you need clean errors (W3C Markup validation found 21 errors) - http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.eliteken.com%2Findex.html...
F/ last but not least a redirect to www would be good because http://eliteken.com goes nowhere !! And a custome error 404 page would be good also.
G/ And a personal note, I think that using the Skunkwork mailing list to send your business email was a bad more. I tried to unregistered several time and it failed. Luckily Gmail has a nice filter and all your Apple emails go directly into the trash.
Cheers
