Astro Hire Website

Hey guys,

I want your critique on this website - About Us

I did not make it, but I'm basically trying to prove a point to a friend why this site is soo wrong and why it was not worth the £500 they spent on it.

It does not validate... any other reasons from the experts?

I would rather have nothing, than that web site...Does that sum it up? heh

The bevels should be buried forever this is poor design for general readability.

The fact it hasn't been included in google is a major factor. How long has it been live?

meta http-equiv="expires" content="Tue, 10 Jan 1995 01:00:00 GMT"

Won't help google or the user if they are on dial up.

meta name="Description" content="This is the default content for the description meta tag."
meta name="Keywords" content="list,of,default,metatag,keywords"

Are pointless and have not been completed correctly. The serious lack of H1 tags etc.

The tables, the MARQUEE, it's generally just 1998 revisited, apart from that it looks old and worn already.

I found the company that made it, they are an utter cheek!
I feel like contacting each of their clients and seeing if they want a new website built lol

Also the company that designed it know nothing about SEO.....

PMG - Business Website Design / Web Design / Search Engine Optimisation - Newcastle Upon Tyne, Tyne & Wear, North East England, Glasgow, West & Central Scotland, UK

They don't have one internal anchor link that says 'web design'

*rolls around laughing* yeah ano! its so crap its funny lol

Let's face it. They are doing it right, we must be doing it wrong. They haven't even had to do a redesign since the late 90's...impressive!

You can't fault how great that web design is! I am tempted to say we should all throw in the towel and admit defeat.

It made my mother cry. And she knows NOTHING about design, good or bad.

At least every page has a different title .... This website should be in a museum
