A couple few Deer Hunting sites...

Hello, All.



My name is Greg Schiek, CEO of WebMovement, LLC (www.webmovementllc.com) and we have developed a little niche for developing Whitetail related websites. My team provides a full service approach for all web related needs.



This is my first post on this board and I would like to ask for feedback on several of the Whitetail websites that we have completed.



1) www.deerfestwi.com

2) www.Huntsend.com

3) www.littlefallswhitetails.com



Additionally, I would like to offer my support for any help you may need regarding your websites. This is not a solicitation, I would kindly provide or help point you to specific information if you request it.



Kindest regards,



Greg Schiek

Hello, Jim.



I responded through your contact form, however, I wanted to post here in case you didn't receive it...



"Hello, Jim.



I am responding to your post on the "DeerForums.com" site. You were asking about my thoughts on your website, www.warrenwhitetails.com.



My first instinct is to increase the size of the navigation and provide it in a horizontal fashion compared to vertical. It is a current best practice and should be used whenever possible.



Second, I would increase the design presence on all your pages. For example, we created interest in the header on "littlefallswhitetails.com and huntsend.com" with Flash.



Third, we all know how much people love to look at deer pictures. We utilize a piece of software that allows the user to have no special skills at all to upload images and video. The reason this is successful is keeps the length of the page to a minimum. For is an example: http://www.huntsend.com/TrophyRoom.aspx



Fourth, to increase SEO (search engine optimization) rankings, you should have "clean code". One of the ways to verify if you have clean code is to use http://validator.w3.org. On your homepage, you have 70 errors...see here: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=h...Inline&group=0&user-agent=W3C_Validator/1.767

When you can, you should always try to remove all or close to all errors on a site.



The reason you want clean code is the search engine crawlers that rank you page spider through it and the faster they can do this, the page rankings within Google, Yahoo, Bing, increase. There are quite a few other SEO procedures that you site would need like an XML sitemap, unique page titles and adding page descriptions to the meta-tags. All these SEO implementations will help increase the visibility in search engine to help increase your traffic.



I would be more than happy to discuss this in more detail if you wanted to chat.



Kindest regards,



Greg Schiek"
