Default New REW Site

Hi guys,

I'm hoping to get some feedback on my new REW website. I will get the MLS added in a couple of days or so, but, any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Specifically, are the buttons too big?

And anything else you can think of. Bring it on...

Thanks in advance,

Ryan

Looking good! Want to see the MLS. Slight spelling error in a header on this page.

I like the big buttons. It makes it easy for the user to find what they are most likely looking for.

I'd suggest also adding "Search Atlanta Homes" and "Value my Atlanta Home" to your main navigation as well. The text in the images for the buttons won't get picked up and those links are important so put them on every page of the site.

Thanks Steve. I need to have REW give me a wide hack to frame in the MLS search.

Calc,

The main nav says "Atlanta MLS". Do you think that isn't descriptive enough? I will added the value link now. Good Idea. Thanks.

Man Ryan,

Working on a new site. I can't even get my first site live. Haa. The site looks good. My suggestions would be that I think on the top header I would center the CALL RYAN WARD: (404) 630-3187 . Of course that's really subjective on my part.

I like the size of the SEARCH and HOME VALUE buttons personally. Everyone knows that the main reason someone will probably use your site is for searching homes, so I like how easy it's going to be to get right into the search.

Looks good. Keep up the good work.

Hey Ryan,

Looks awesome! I dig the two main calls to action right under the header. Straight to the point. The deep blue is a good colour choice, as well.

Thanks guys. I was worried that the buttons were to big. I'm going with an SEO appoach of only one way links to and from this site - except for the REW links in the footer.

Feel free to link to it.

Never saw that. Maybe add "search" to that text. Not sure everyone know what MLS is.

While "Atlanta MLS" is probably better anchor text, the main nav is for users. Do what's right for them in the main nav. There are plenty of other places on your site you can work in "Atlanta MLS"
