Favorite Site Designs - Walters & Walters

Filed under: Favorite Sites — Jim @ 11:02 am

I have a page on my site with some of my favorite site designs that are showing up on the web. These are not my sites, but they are the kinds of designs that I like in a website. There are different reasons that I picked these site designs, they all look good and are clear and easy to use. The graphics are good, but not overpowering. Sometimes I just like a picture or the name. Some of the sites are not in English and I still know what they are about.

Walters & Walters

The newest one is called Walters & Walters North Carolina Wedding Photographers.

When I first looked at this site I thought here is the kind of site where all you really need for human visitors are slideshows that showcase great work. It’s really some of the nicest wedding photography that I’ve seen. The site has good clear navigation right at the top and a place to sign up for their newsletter right on the first page.

This is a case where having a blog should provide plenty of “spider food” for the search engines to read even though it’s not on your main pages. Written content can be on any page provided that the site’s navigation is designed so that your visitors can easily find their way to the rest of your pages once they’re in.

When I clicked on the blog there was plenty of written content and more great photos, but I saw two problems. The blog wasn’t on their domain and likely because of that it didn’t look like the rest of the site.

Here’s a site that is beautiful to look at, but needs written words for the search engines to read. They do have plenty of words, but it’s posted on the WordPress site not their own. I believe that by combining them they could turn two really good sites into a great one.

They could also post their newsletters on their site to preview for their potential subscribers and for more content. I like to see the kind of thing that I’ll be getting before I subscribe to any newsletter, but overall this site is well worth seeing.
