    New Site

    Hello Everyone,

    Longtime Firefox user, i have just installed the WOT add-on to all our work stations, think it is an awesome feature and we really want to be a part of it.

    We have just designed a new site:
    http://www.colourstone.com.au/
    It is our first in-house web site. Any feedback, comments, ratings or constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!

    Okay..well done!

    Some essential problems needed to be fixed:
    -You shouldn't really put all the information and pages in a single page.
    Try separating them, making it more presentable and neat.
    - 63 Errors detected in W3C, fix them.
    - The meta keywords part of the web page contains 117 words which is too many. There should be no more than 5 meta keywords.
    If there are too many meta keywords, the search engines will interpret this as over usage, which will have negative consequences. (As analysized by Pineberry, which you should also check out.)
    -The web page has no external css file.
    If the web page has an external css file, it means it is built in a favourable way as the amount of code is minimized. Search engines like text but not code. (As analysized by Pineberry, which you should also check out.)

    It looks like you have been using the same smooth scrolling Javascript, except the fact that i compress it further and improve the quality of the code using JSLint as there were quite a lot of mistakes in the code.
    Css is good for website, so utilize them.

    Also, I notice that a lot of the wordings are pictures instead of text.
    Using CSS, you would also be able to attain the same effect.

    Finally, Good luck with your website!

      Your comments and instructions are very helpful, and thanks for taking the time to provide this information!

    About your website

    I really can't tell you how unique I think your website is. I love the designs, and love the concept of how the website works. It's a fresh look at the way websites work, and I really like it.

    As for rating:
    First, I checked your website on other website advisors, like WOT.
    Mcafee SiteAdvisor: Safe
    Finjan: Safe
    Norton Safeweb: Untested
    Browser Defender: Untested
    Web Security Guard: Untested
    Then, I examined the website myself.
    I can't accurately rate the website in the privacy category until you have a privacy policy. You need to explain how your website handles the information entered on the contact page. It's not encrypted, and therefore, that must be either be resolved, or taken note of in the privacy policy.

    I also cannot rate it in Vendor Reliability because I haven't bought from it.

    As much as I like the web design I have a few minor suggestions:
    First and foremost, for SEO and ease of use, there should be a text link to all of those slides on the website
    On your website it says it was created in 1983, but here, you're saying its new. I'm a bit confused.
    Third, after searching for you on ask.com, you didn't come up. Ask.com adds websites based on links it finds from other websites. This means you probably need to start link building. Try and get other blogs, websites, directories, etc. to list your website. Here are a few suggestions:
    Aboutus.org-a Wiki to websites. This is a good place to start. If you write a full article about your website, you can email them about removing the nofollow tags from the article, to improve your google ranking and get listed in Ask.
    Joeant.com-A general directory. It's fourty dollars to be listed, or you can become an editor and possibly be listed for free.
    DMOZ.org-Another general directory. Free to list.
    Twine.com-a website in which people establish groups for a specific topic, so that people who are interested in that topic can join and post links, pictures, etc. regarding that topic.

    All in all, I really like the website, and will keep you in mind for anyone looking for a graphic designer. Keep up the great work!

    We rate the websites, the WOT staff creates, and advertises the add-on, and together, we make it all happen.

      Wow, thank you for such an

      Wow, thank you for such an in-depth reply! This website's forum is so resourceful and helpful.

      We were established in 1983 as the company is called (and listed as) "Kokkinos Labels Pty Ltd" but we recently changed our trading name to Colourstone. We started as a clothing label and tag supplier, and now we have recently expanded into graphic design and general printing, we are new to website designing and seo etc (major newbies!)

      So far the advice from this forum has opened our eyes to useful sites helping us to fix our errors, and correctly structure our page.
      Thanks also for the link advice. We definitely will take this into consideration and begin building!

      Once again, appreciate your comments and time!
