A friend of mine just had his website redone totally by an apparent SEO
company. I've given him my feedback already, but just to make sure I
wasn't biased - rate this site:
http://www.floridaduipro.com/

I'm looking to critique:
- Visual appeal
- Usability
- Accessibility
- SEO

no graphics or imagery of any kind = not good

putting the keyword stuffed text below the fold doesn't trick anyone. i
just scrolled down to see what was down there. also, i realize they
apparently don't think anyone will scroll down and read it, but Florida
still needs to be capitalized.

it's just generally unappealing, visually. it looks like a student in a
beginner's class created. it doesn't even look finished.

why didn't this guy have you create his site instead of whatever crappy
company he hired?

i find it hard to believe this was designed by a professional company.

It's OK that it's crap, though. Anyone visiting the site is already drunk.

* inappropriate, ugly and deprecated markup
* invalid code
* stupid meta elements
* 2.8 MB download size for such a boring layout?
* ...

These SEO idiots know absolutely nothing about how to properly build
good and usable websites.

Yes. An expensive piece of crap.

It's as if the site were built nicely, but then a drunk driver ran through
it with his car or something...

Thank you all for your kind comments. I will forward them on to my
friend. Glad to know I'm not alone in my opinion.

Well... "Visual Appeal"... I first have To Ask "Visually Appealing"
to *who*? To the "DUI" Market? I'm at a loss to put myself in The
Shoes of a Prospective DUI Client [WEB]Searching for Legal
Representation... *I* don't have a Clue as to what such a Target
Demographic would Find "Appealing"... "Eye-Catching" and "Motivating"
to Respond To an Advertisement for Legal Services...

For My Own Part... *I* find it "BASIC"... It Neither Puts Me Off OR
"Rivets" My Attention... Which, given the Subject Matter, is prolly a
Good Thing... just a Simple "eBusiness Card" *Invitation* to Speak To
a Lawyer about Your DUI Problem...

Two or Three PROBLEMS:

I had to - WAIT - 2.. 3+ Minutes for Lloyd's .wmv to FAIL To
Load... went and did Other Things... came back... REloaded Two/Three
times... AT LAST... Lloyd Loaded Up and Gave Me His Schpiel...
[Pffffttt...]

I Recommend either LOSING Said .wmv OR Placing It Behind a LINK...
Maybe "About Us"... OR its own "Interested?/Learn More/WHY You Should
Call LINK... Let Lloyd Deliver his Schtick UNencumbering To...
UNencumbered By, Info of Equal or GREATER Importance to a Prospective
DUI Client...

*I* Don't Like SCROLLING, _MOST_ Particularly when there's BLANK
SPACE between Useful Info OR NOTHING At All To SCROLL DOWN To See...

*I* Don't Like *Varying Graphics Sizes*, As Is The Case when
CLICKing Thru the Various LINKS at the bottom of Lloyd's "eBiz
Card"... A LOT of This Problem can Be Alleviated by putting that .wmv
SomeWhere ELSE... [Freeing Up Room on the eBiz Card for TEXT &
LINKs]...

> - Usability

Mmm... "DISjointed" and [UNnecessarily] "Confusing" come to mind...
Mostly on The Complaints Cited Above...

> - Accessibility

AS IN The DELAYED/Had To Be FORCED .wmv Viewing? VERY BAD...

> - SEO

AS IN "SearchEngineOptimization"? Got NO Idea...

Over All, The BEST I can give it is C-...
