Just finished making and put my site online Yesterday

[lilly33]

I just finished my first site out of 2 I am working on. This site is for people who work for chacha. It has forums that are dedicated just to people that work for chacha and people who want to. Im going to add a few more images of questions marks and some "Q"'s and "A"'s. I also need to get the about us filled but what do you think!!

I'm not sure what you're wanting reviewed. The only thing there is a link to the forum.

[freebiz4you]

I'm just guessing that you're asking for a review of the site itself right?

I think the site is nice... I'm not really a fan of the dark red background... It hurts my eyes, but other than that you can tell that a lot of thought and effort went into building the site ;)

[lilly33]

TY!! I added the tos to it yesterday, and filled in the about us. Do you think the homepage presents well enough what the forums are for without going over board? And does my About Us sound stupid?, Im really not good at writig things like that so they sound all poetic and interesting. I know it still needs a few things cosmetically, hopefully i get those other images added today.

Also have you seen any major flaws or mispellings? I have gone over it several times but news are better to tell sometimes.

Hi Lilly -

I really like the idea of your niche. That should get you some really targeted traffic and I wouldn't think will be hard to rank for in the search engines.

Let us know how it goes!

I don't know, maybe it's just me but the red is hard on my eyes.

I like it. Keeps me in the body without dragging me back out.

As posted in another thread, I love it, and SiteSell is definitely a great investment for anyone that is serious in creating a site that, well...sells. Good to see you promoting the package. Are you mentoring those who purchase the package as well?

I hadn't thought about mentoring. SiteSell has an excellent forum and their customr service is second to none. If someone had questions I would be more than happy to help.

I don't know if you are familiar with SBI! but they use a block-by-block siite builder that anyone can learn to use and they also have an Action Guide that will walk you through the process of building a site even if you have no idea what you are doing (that was me).

I like the design, although the red really did hurt my eyes for about 2 seconds.

Also, I think you should add the word ChaCha to your tag line:
"The Help You Need To Become a ChaCha Guide!"

[kevinw1]

You would benefit from including the chacha word in the page title (the text that appears in the browser window title bar, right up the top - at the moment it just says MyCCGuide).

When someone finds your page in a search engine the page title is your "headline" and it really needs to tell people enough about what your site is about to make them want to visit.

The search engines also use the title to help tell them what your site is about, so if you want to turn up in searches for "chacha" that word needs to be in your title, your headline on the page, and several times in the text. Right now it's in your meta-description, which is very good, and keywords, which search engines mostly ignore, and just once in the page text.

Thanks everyone! Unfornately the red has to stay, its kinda like a trademark color of ChaCha. I updated the title etc.

@Lori we are still growing but its fun and nice to finally have a place to ourselves. I been doing updates to it all the time and adding stuff.

Since then I have picked up another job with OW though lol, and currently in the hiring process for West, Quicktate, and KGB so not sure how much time Im going to have for it soon but it doesnt seem to require too much of my attention atm.

I think that it is more so the black than the red that makes it harder to read. the black text is a bit harder to read because it doesn't contrast the same as the white does.

I think the colour scheme is carried well through to the forums, because there's nothing worse than inconsistency through a site to scare visitors away!

and my final suggestion would be to place the link to the forums under the About us text, because you are drawn to the About Us, but then you have to draw your attention back to the left to enter the forums. Not so critical but breaks the flow a little.

Anyway, thats my 2c!
