Hey,

Its been 2 months my website is up and running but still I want to know 2 things.

1. Do my website creates a confidence in web design companies for outsourcing ?
2. Is it a very simple website being an web services firm ?

Link to my website Umbrella Technologies | Web Design & Development, Search Engine Optimisation, Web Hosting and Outsourcing

Looking forward to hear from you guys....

Cheers,

Nick

On first impression I didn't knew that I am on a web design firm website. It needs to be colorful, with more graphical elements and so on

Thanks for your honest review

Sorry Nick, but I have to agree with "cipcip" about his comment.

Personally, I feel your choice of the URL name is very misleading and I don't really care for any "outsourcing" websites from foreign countries, as most of them are bogus by putting up fake page links from alleged clients who say they're so great; honest; blah-blah-blah and is something I never believe.

Beyond that, you have the following code warnings on your site you may want to fix so that it displays properly in all browsers:

I think you had bad experience of outsourcing in the past.

Most of my clients are happy with my work and almost all of them had given me more work and I give real references if asked to whom you can talk.

I had checked the for the w3c validation and know about them and thats why I haven't said that my website is W3C valid. Its just that I am a bit tide up with work and have to deliver some projects urgently.

With my first website also I didn't got time to complete it so this time I really made progress of completing the website. I hope very soon I will get time to clear these warnings.

Thanks for mentioning this. It was a couple of minutes work.

The website is XHTML 1.0 Transitional and validated.

Suggest you run your site thru several validators, as you still the same code warnings - I can see you're not that experienced writing valid code, so here's a hint ... you don't need the "px" on width and height attributes.

shortcircuit - I said website is XHTML 1.0 trasitional.

There is no point in making your website as per html 4.0 or html 5.

My clients do not ask me whether their websites are validated by all HTML versions. They only ask me one question "How they are going to achieve their goals using website ?"

I prefer making SEO friendly websites rather keeping an eye on HTML validation.

It seems that you are only interested in making HTML validated websites rather focusing on your client needs

Okay Boss - I'm not going to argue with you, as you seem to believe you're the World's SEO "alleged Expert".

It's your site and you came here asking for a REVIEW of your site; guess you didn't want to hear the TRUTH, so you may want to get a thicker skin when asking experienced Webmasters who have over 15 years of experience and knowledge.

You say - "I prefer making SEO friendly websites rather keeping an eye on HTML validation" ... that's funny and interesting, and I wonder if your alleged satisfied clients are aware of your strategy.

SEO is not necessarily an appropriate strategy for every website, and other Internet marketing strategies can be much more effective.

Your site has been on-line OVER 3 years and after 3 years, your Google PR is "0" ... not a very impressive track record IMO.

Your Alexa rank is not that impressive either after 3 years.

Where did I pull all of this info? Simple; here's all of your Site info.

Hope your clients are happy with the position of their sites; perhaps they need to see the above info about your site and start asking questions about their sites.

Have a nice day and good luck.

I think you should check your resources carefully.

I said my site is up and running from last 2 months so how it can be 3 years old. It seems that you are using some wrong tools.

I believe in converting your visitors into client. we are on google page 1 for major keywords for my clients.

Its important to deliver what your client wants and not what you want...

Cheers
