    Default My first site with Xara Web Designer

    Hi!
    I am new in this domain, but I like it more and more since I found Xara. My first site you'll find on www.managementafaceri.ro and I hope you'll like it.
    I am looking forward to see your comments to improve it.
    Thanks in advance and regards from Romania,
    Alice

    Nice site Alice, clean and tidy.

    Google won't pick up text converted to an image, such as where you have " Ne ocupam de management.............." & "management este arta de a infaptui........." at the top of the pages, so you may want to ungroup these text bits.

    Same with actual images-google wont pick them up so you can use "web properties" in xara web designer, click on the 'image' tab and write a description in 'image description' box, press 'apply'. Google will pick up this description (Alt text).

    Also the 'title' section of each page can be a good place to be 'imaginative' with the use of key words to help ranking.

    Alice

    can see you have added Alt text to the images.

    The "Ne ocupam de management.............." & "management este arta de a infaptui........." are still shown as images - 498x27 pix + 471x33 pix, both png.

    I try to stop using any text as an image for 2 reasons, 1/ it 'blurs' the text slightly ie doesn't look sharp. 2/ not picked up by google. If you want to you could just add a description (alt text) to above in the same way you have for the other images.

    Thanks again, A!
    For those headings I thought if I choose "html text" name was enough.

    I will change again using alt text description.

    In my next project I will not forget your hints about using better text than text as an image.

    I just noticed that you have used the shadow tool (I think) for the text we are talking about?. When I tried this I could only get it to save as an image, maybe someone knows a way around this?

    I've attached a xara file you can look at-just click (run) and it will open in your web designer. Use '(file) preview website' to view it. Its just to show you how the different styles look in a browser.
