New Web Site
Posted by BAYVIEWMOORE on December 30, 2012 at 10:06 pmHello All,
We have been working for a few months on our new web site. I would love
to hear some feedback. Any suggestions will be warmly accepted! Thanks
in advance.

see 2 issues. You need to fix the website page URL’s for maximum
SEO. Since your site is running WordPress this is easy to fix.
Currently your URL’s are structured as “www.yourwebsite.com/?p=123”
They need to be changed to show the page keyword (title) in URL like
“www.yourwebsite.com/brakerepair/” This is easy to fix by changing
the permalink settting in the back end of WordPress.
Settings > Permalinks > Common settings – Change from default button
to “Post name” and click save. Go to your website and refresh page
and you will see the URL format has changed to show the keyword
instead of a bunch of gobbledy gook at the of the URL.
The second issue is your header graphic file is too big and make your
page load slowly. I would change it from a png file to a jpg and have
it resized to under 100K. Right now the file size is over 600K. That’s
why when you first load the page the photo isn’t complete and scrolls
down the page as it loads.
Search for Shrink O Matic, it’s a free tool that you can download and
use to resize images.
Other than that, your website looks pretty good. I built our shop
website using WordPress and you can look at my page URL’s to see an
example of what they should look like. http://www.KonaCarShop.com

Both sites are lacking unique content related to your services you
preform.I Guess i am lucky all i have to do is target VW and Audi’s.
Try to add keywords with references to local landmarks.
just my 2 cents OLlie
