Default Some Tips!!!

Hey, well you have been doing a good job with your CSS, just try to design an very strong image with more attractive colors and logo and replace the top of the site where you have the orange links and the name of the company, that will make it more "eye catching" and good looking. I don't recommend the animation on the titles. just leave them bigger and bolder.

good look!

Hi,

There are a number of things wrong with the site which will affect its usability and damage your search engine ranking.

This is not a complete review, just some things to think about.

You're relying on metatag keywords and Google, plus many other search engines, ignores keywords these days because they were so unreliable.

You've got an image for the clinic name which the search engines won't read. Mostly, you're trying to catch people who want treatment but some people will have heard the name and search for the site so you need to get them as well.

You've used the h1 tag several times. the h1 tag should be used only once per page. It's an important tool in ranking the page and the robots get confused if there is more than one.

Your first page is far too long. Especially in the early stages, people want small pieces of info. Once they've realised they want to learn more they will read a longer page but your home page should be more to the point.

I find animated text gets very boring very quickly. If you're determined to have it, set it to stop after a couple of cycles.

And, when I used Firefox the main heading split across two lines which is not good.

It's a very good start but there are lots of ways to improve it.

your site is very good. you have work with css in this site. and you did great job with it.
every thing is good in this site. image quality of three images you have attached is not good. I thing you should change the image from here you should place another image here. and other every thing is very good.
