    Hi Diver's,

    From a content perspective, I think the site might benefit from more information about Pandan Malim and vicinity- photos, attractions, etc... You might also inform visitors about the weather conditions in your area.

    Why do you have an ad for "Google Bloggers for Dummies?" I would think that your target market would be more interested in products related to travel, language, and culture.

    From a design perspective, perhaps you should consider a more eye-catching header. You have a banner midway down the homepage with a historic photo on it that is much more interesting- something like that as your header would make your site come alive!

    Congratulations on the success of your beta. I hope I was able to help.

    For me the site is too simple. You have to change the fonts and background color so it will appear to be more appealing

      A more descriptive title tag on each page will definitely help your SEO efforts. Be sure to include important keywords in the title. If you can turn on pretty URLs, you can improve the optimization of your pages even more. Like the title tag, pump the URLs up with relevant keywords.

    You designed the theme and put it in a premade free theme. Its looking good but there is room for more improvement. Also you messed up with Title and Description as none of them appearing on top status bar. Big disadvantage with SEO. Fix that.

    Hope you remove the Clock and Calendar in the Homepage and put it somewhere else. It will make your site so basic and old school. the banner needs work as well so as to grab our attention and make us stay.

    I agree with some of the other posts. Also I would remove "Welcome to ..." and replace it with 1) a benefit and 2) a call to action or combine the two.

    For instance - Just below the video.... "Escape to paradise and relax. Call today for Special..."

    I would replace the traffic feed with a coupon or enticement to call. Traffic feed does nothing for me as a customer.

    I would remove the traffic feed as it seems to serve no purpose for your website, i would put either adsense or a coupon as Sam mentioned.

    I would move the calender widget lower or even remove it- I think the space above the fold is precious and should be used to sell or explain the benefits.

    I would also change the permalinks for your website as this will make it more search engine friendly.

    Hope this helps

    Hi friends,

    changes made to the header already, somehow the client wants the clock, calender and feeds to stay...

    already in the first page on yahoo, but third on google.

    Also you messed up with Title and Description as none of them appearing on top status bar. Big disadvantage with SEO. Fix that.

    repairing the tags on each pages like technista suggested

    I think it's quite nice for the beginner, by the time you can improve the layout. but at this time the important one is the content!

    I like the design, and I like the simple layout. The site does not look like the typical wordpress site - well done. I had to look at the source code.

    The site title should be in the browser bar.

    Like a lot of wordpress themes, the meta description is missing. Some people leave the meta description out on purpose, while some people dont know its missing. I dont know if you left the meta description out on purpose, or maybe you did not know it was missing.

    The image showing "homestay melaka" goes past the frame of the site - maybe resize it?

    Overall, I think your off to a good start.

    Well, on your design, I like the color combination, the font color is good too, but I think you need to change one part of it, in your website's footer. It doesn't look good. hope it helps!
