The design is pretty straight forward. However, the text color is not strong enough, so it is pretty hard to see. Also on the portfolio page, I think the thumbnail images are a bit too small... There are a few images not found thumbnails, if they are just place holders, maybe you can display...

My understanding is that the SWF file is not the source code. So you need the FLA file for development. If you have project documentation, it will be easier for another person to pick up the development task.

It depends on his hosting company... Mine works this way: go to HELM to create a sub-domain, and then the folder "magically" appeared under my wwwroot (for example, wwwroot/newsub). From then, I can access that folder by "newsub.domain.com".

Yes you are correct in the sense that in order for Google to push AdSense to a site, it does have to crawl it to analyze what ads to put on the page. However, I am not aware that it actually will get your site cache and index "faster"? ... Thanks for the info!

I agree with adx, the articles are just a little bit too fade. The color matches fine though so maybe you can just make them a little stronger is fine. One thing about page design, from your domain name, I guess you are making a feed / article site? The design does give me the feel that I...

Real sub-domains are created through your ISP. I recall there is also a way to use custom 404 page to simulate that too but I maybe wrong. Please give us more detail information.

I am not sure in your design what's the different between the top horizontal navigation and the vertical navigation. But if it is a personal page and you want to keep it simple, maybe you can just use the top horizontal navigation as 1st level navigation and the vertical navigation as the 2nd...

Looks good. However, not sure the actually usage value of those functions though. One suggestion on this feature is that it should remember my choice so that my next search should be in the same mode? If you are thinking of adding new features to the search, maybe doing search within search...

Well first you may want to add an H1 to the site. Then since your site is based on AJAX, what are you expecting to be indexed besides the home page? You need to plan for that. There are some tips to let bots better crawling some AJAX calls. Then I guess you need to submit your sitemap to...

Yes I agree with quality inbound link building. However, I would be doing on-page / keyword optimization first so to make sure the content of what Google has crawled and indexed create the best search result.

Well CT-Matt's blog post is a good start. Also there are TONS of articles written on SEO if you do a Google search. Here are a few keywords you can search on: - keyword research - on-page optimization - inbound link building For your site, you first need to start with adding a meta...

One way to do it is to post at elance, and rentacoder. I would also start with any local business opportunities. The thing is now, you have to become a sales representative of yourself.

Loading the flash is really taking forever... Besides load time, coding a site in 1 big Flash is not good for SEO either (even though there seems to be some Google API for Flash), since now search engine doesn't even know what your site is about. (cannot crawl content, no content outside the...

I don't know about any good courses. But I have read a book called "The Principles of Beautiful Web Design" and it is a pretty good book that describes the basics.

Thanks for the information. One comment though, I thought that your post is about getting your site listed? The information provided is the basics of on-page SEO, which I totally agree that you should get it done before listing the site. To get your site listed, most of the time all you...

The web site looks fine. And I think you have a good start with your own recommendations. Adding complexity (but not over-doing it of course) into the design will showcase the skill that you have. 1 thing you have to change is the title text (for SEO). Currently it is the same for every...

It works fine for me on both FF3 and IE7.

I find that one good way to do that kind of research is to look at elance or rentacoder... at least you know what people are charging / agreeing on.

Believe it or not... when the home page first load, when the background color strip doesn't even show up yet, I loved the black and white site. Some how the icons on the page are so simple that they don't seem to match with the vibrant color strip at the background...

There are 2 sites that I usually browse for templates: 4templates and template monster. Personally I have used template monster but never uses 4templates.
