nice, clean job...all links work...pictures load quickly
To be super-critical I would only comment on this: the green band at the top that contains the page titles - it could be re-shaped just a tad. On your Home page for example you could make it deeper so it lines exactly with the square logo & it could be stretched a little to cover the whole width of the page? Gallery: it's about 1mm too deep & again could be stretched to fill the width of the page. Ditto with the Contact Us page. That's it!
good luck,
david

Hi, off to a good start. But need to get more text within the pages with some detail of where you are based in the world so the SE's can help visitors get to you.
Need to also get some page descriptions in & keywords.

Ditto with comments by David and Chris.

1. Your title on each page can be more descriptive

2. I viewed source file for some pages and description is missing
on those pages.

Google likes a descriptive title, good description and content.
They should be unique for all pages.

One question:
The houses shown seem to be luxury ones. Is that your target niche?

If it is, present the business as such.

Nice Clean Site!
IMO, I would center the website and frame the pics to make them stand out.
You are off to a great start!

I would add another suggestion for layout perfection. IMO perhaps you should make the heading shape the same height as the logo box as you have the sidebar and push the text down a bit after you do that so it's not crammed in.

Your site looks nice. The only thing I think is weird is that if you click on the "Home" tab on the left-side menu, it reopens the home page in a new window. Probably better to set it to open in "_parent" or "_self". but not a new window "_blank".

It only does this from the home page, so you'd only need to edit the link properties on that page. I know that not many people will click on the "Home" button when they're already there, but still, I think it's worth that little edit. :)

Thank you all so much!

I have made it all a little cleaner, lined up headings where needed and outlined photos etc.

Just a quick question, to add a description do I just go into page properties and then meta tags? Should I do this for every page or just the home page?

Treat each page as an individual page & promote the contents of that particular page. You will quite often find some internal pages of a website will have a better ranking than the front page.

You might want to add links to your other pages at the bottom of each page like most websites have. It kind of felt like your home page just ended without any warning. Just my 2 cents!

For Gallery and Contact US

You could add, in the title, something like

Lerderderg Landscapes - Gallery
Lerderderg Landscapes - Contact Us

That would make the title somewhat unique.

Hey Jessica,
Your home page (index) is not conjested, which is great! Too many people burden their home pages with too much information. Our only suggestion is this: Since you're a landscaping business, your green should be earthen-tone or pastel. Try softenning your colors so they don't look so neon (which implies industrial/artificial).
