Hey Everyone,
I recently put up a website, with so-so results. I'm looking for some honest feedback on anything and everything for my site. Thanks!

Not bad, nice layout with the rock on the left side.

i don't like it. not one bit. It makes me feel less ambitious because I don't climb. Shame on you. Kidding, it looks very nice. =)

Thanks everyone for the awesome comments!
Any advice on how to increase traffic to it?

[mattSantill]

That is a nice basic website.... just a couple pointers.

I would like to see your telephone number emphasized more. It should probably go on the homepage for quick access for residual business. I would consider placing it on every page.


Try developing a creative logo with your business name. There are many graphic artists on guru.com or other freelance sites that will provide a decent logo for $50. This logo can also be used in your business cards.

Great starter site...

1) Please ... don't use center justification. It doesn't look right.
2) On your Tabs "About us" you should capitalize Us.

Aside from that - it's simple and nice. Make sure you have all your google key words in there to help you get traffic.

Actually, Foodie is right. I didn't notice the center justification the first time I looked. Good call chica, buen trabajo.

Do you have hosting with a control panel? Not that it matters but in your line a photo gallery would be cool.

Its simple and easy to use.

Here's my 2 cents. I'm no expert but I do enjoy playing around.
1. Definitely agree with changing the justification from center to left.
2. The layout looks good.
3. I would make the box at the bottom that contains your copyright info the same width as the box above it.
4. The texture on the buttons are a little distracting to "me". This is a personal preference and my opinion only.
5. I do like the overall color scheme and the fact that the design is basic. I have the tendency to over do it on the design aspect myself.

In terms of traffic - again, not an expert. Mountain climbing is definitely a niche. It would probably serve you by making yourself an expert in the field. If you aren't already doing so begin writing articles. I usually advice that people write at least one article a week. Take those articles and post them to as many "reputable" article directories as you can. I would also recommend creating a place for people to signup for a newsletter. I would assume that people interested in your services will be interested in receiving periodic information related to the theme of your site.

Hope that helps.

So, its been said that you about 10secs to get a visitor to stay on your site. Your landing page has nothing to pull vivstors in. Instead of saying "what we do" and hoping everyone reads that paragraph, put a question up there... "Want to Climb the Mountain to Success?" or something..
