Guest thebirdbath Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Take a look at the site and give any feedback you feel is needed. I have broad shoulders so don't hold back. Suggestions for SEO is also needed. http://www.homebrochures.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brivtech Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 To specifically answer your questions about SEO improvement... Add in a .htaccess mod rewrite hack to resolve http://homebrochures.net/ to http://www.homebrochures.net/ Make the page's file descriptions slightly more intelligible: catalog.htm isn't really keyword friendly, perhaps brochure-design.htm would be, and the same goes for the items: three.htm, four.htm is missing out on potential ranking estate. Really, all of that could have been controlled by CubeCart's site docs. I see you've added in meta tags on the main site pages, although the title should have been also included some relevance to the pages being shown. now, talking of CubeCart, I see it only makes a presence when there's a purchase to be made. To be honest, it's a bit confusing, I was looking at a product, then get taken to a page about the product when I click buy now, and in a new window! You haven't enabled the SEO function in CC, and as far as I can tell, this is a CC4 store, so it's built in, you should be using it. Mentioning the meta tags again, this is what I saw on one of the product pages: <meta name="description" content="This is the meta description." /> ... Therefore, again, the SEO function isn't being utilised to clear up these things and in this case, customise the meta tags to the page content for each product. I can't fault the design, easy on the eye, tidy, but I don't like how it flips from one style to a slightly different one when you want to buy something. It's just a little bit sloppy, and something that could have been tidied, if you used CC for all your content management - After all, it's an eCommerce focused site, rather than a Corporate site.

Guest thebirdbath Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Outstanding! Thanks for the feedback. I will start about making the needed corrections to about 99% of what you suggested. I'm a bit confused on the last part and the htaaccess part but I'll hit you back up once I've completed everything else. Thanks again!

Guest thebirdbath Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I'm not sure how to write the code for the htaccess file to make sure all http://domain.com are sent to http://www.domain.com. Can you provide some help here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest thebirdbath Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I rewrote the htaccess file myself after tinkering.....here is what I have RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^homebrochures\.net [nc] RewriteRule (.*) http://www.homebrochures.net/$1 [R=301,L] BUT it is only working in Internet Explorer. It DOES NOT work in Firefox. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
