Thread: Website Virgin!!!

Hi guys and gals, please have a look at my 1st site and let me know what you think, I still have much work to do and am busy trying to add a property search thingy.

My work in progress www.cyprussunproperty.com looking forward to your comments.

Thanks in advance.

Keep up the good work ... it's lookng great ....

Thanks Whiteshepherd and thanks bv what an awesome product and service.

Hey Winston!

You might try optimizing your photos (more if you already have), try this link. Will make your page load quicker and more smoothly!

Keep it up!

Thanks mwalsh

I have used bv pixresizer on all of them but I will take a look at the link you gave me, I was concerned about page load.

Thanks M8

Is no news good news?

Hi Winston,

It was pretty early this a.m. when I first posted, but it seems your site is loading faster, did some optimizing?

If you're looking for work, here you go; when navigating your site, elements such as text in your header and blue lines separating properties are "jumping". While pages are meant to be "the same", as if from a template, some parts are slightly off as compared with the same on the next or prior page. Your site can have a much smoother feel if these things are always static.

That should keep you busy for a while,

Thanks Mike looks like Ill be awake all night!!! lol

I just put on a pot of coffee myself!

It never ends! But in a good way!

Hi Winston,


Very nice site, clean and fresh, matches the look of Cyprus! Best of luck with it.

Thanks patience always nice for us newbs to know if we are on the right track.

Hi, nice looking site. With the images, if you are using the gallery in BV. Have a try at ticking the create thumbnails box. It should bring down the kb’s on the thumbnail & let the page load faster. At the moment the thumbnails are the same size as main image popup.
A far better way is this post by naval as you will have full control over the image.

Hi Chris thanks for the tip I have done what you sugested and ticked the create thumbnails box worked like a charm.

Thanks again

If this was one of your first sites, I think you did a great job. I noticed two small things... "Comming" spelled wrong on one of your pages. (Coming) (I'm an old spelling bee student)... :)

And your contact us form does not have a page title... says "Untitled" on the page tab.

The other suggestions from others were good and ones I'm putting in my own hat for my site. I'll be sure to post it in here for comments too.

Thanks!

Hi Christine

Thanks for the comments I will get on to it right away I know my spelling sucks so I will have to keep an eye on it although I have tried to do all the text in word. Good luck with the site, Im busy working on my second site should go allot smoother.

I remember being evacuated from Lebanon. They sent us to Cyprus xD. Really nice place.

Love the site. Clean and well organized.

Hi Winston,

Very nice and clean site. Keep up the good work.

Maybe you could just add a link to a currency converter.

Thanks filtrex and Tom very helpful, I will look into the currency converter. Go the BOKS!!!!!!!

You can see which one I use on my site. Bok champs paraded here on open busses through various cities.

Thanks for the tip Tom all done.

Hello Winston; I like your site - all worked well except the search form. I filled it out in compleation and got the thank you note. I then filled it out leaving some information such as name and still got the thank you note. I suggest you look up the ABVFP that Naval has for us and you might produce a more professional, secure form. Just a suggestion.

Wow, great job. I just posted my first site too. I can tell that you worked really hard, and it paid off.
All it makes me want to do is buy a home in Cyprus!
Way to go!

Hi Guys thanks for the tips I will get on to the form issue A.S.A.P so much to think about. I Like your site huavco I never knew how much work went into building a site, makes you look at peoples sites in a totally different way well done. I have just done some major work on mine take a look.
