Site Review Blog

… is not just about the words. Have you ever stopped to consider the typeface/font that the message is written in and how it affects the overall message? Well you are probably like me in that respect - almost taking the font used for granted. I tend to use only a small number of different fonts myself, as long as they look ok and are easy to read they are generally good enough.

Well that was Until I took a look around at Urban Fonts and discovered what they have. They have a heap of free fonts that you can download, along with even more fonts you can buy. Once you download one of their fonts then you need to install it to be able to use it. Well, it took a bit of digging, but I eventually found the link to their FAQ in the welcome message on the homepage and then noticed it was also in the footer. It clearly explains how to use the Fonts on both a Windows and Mac computer.

What I really like about Urban Fonts is their Font Blog. Yes, whoever would have thought that you could write about fonts! After reading a couple of posts, it was like a little look back at the History of various fonts. I must admit the info is fascinating. They also have a forum where you can ask questions and get help if you cannot find it anywhere else on the site.

The site itself has a bit of a web2.0 type of feel about it, With Green and Blue on white as the colour scheme. The Free font pages by default show you 12 different fonts per page by default. You can select to display up to 48 per page.

My firt thought when asked to review another credit card site was yeah, yeah, yet another of these sites…. As Always, I went in with an (almost) open mind and spent a few minutes as to what the site truly offerred that set it apart from all the others out there. It didn’t take me long to find something that stood out - and it wasn’t the front page! OK, the front page isn’t that bad, but more on that in a moment. What I found that was a plesant surprise was the Credit Resources pages - and especially the Glossary.

CreditMe has all of the things that I have come to expect from a site in this niche - and that is the infoon all sorts of Credit Cards including Amex Credit cards, Citibank Citicards credit cards, and Chase Manhattan’s Chase Bank Credit cards. They also provide several searches based on Card types. I also found several articles and resources related to credit and credit cards.

Now, back to the website itself, It has a clean simple layout and uses a Green and Lilac on white colour scheme. I have not seen these particular colours used together, but they manage to pull it off by only using a small amount of each colour. The site is fairly new, but it has an almost not quite finished feel to it - they have included sections on client reviews of the products but they are all empty. True, maybe no-one has done a review yet, but the page with just a title on it just seems unfinished to me. It might have been better to put a simple “be the first to write a review” type message into the content area of their site.

So what is it? is your site Invisible or is it E-Visible? Well, all sites start at the former and hope to get to the latter ASAP and of course, not everyone has the know-how to go from invisible to e-visibile. E:visibility can help you get your website seen and found online with a crafted SEO campaign. The first thing that I noteced about their website was the chance to sign up and get a free Report on your website. They provide a SEO assesment and even a competitor analysis.

The E:Visibilty homepage is very clear on the services that they offer - it is right there on the homepage. You can find out about SEM (Search engine Marketing) which is a paid Search campaign and Organic Search (SEO) just to name a couple. I had a quick read thru their offerings and went back to the homepage. As I don’t have a website that is the face of a company or even a website that sells anything that needs to get targetted traffic I looked around for what else their site offerred.

What I found was their SEO Blog and even though it only has a few posts, I was quite impressed with the content. The posts clearly explained some SEO terms and concepts that I had not actually seen explained that way before. The content of the blog seemed to me thatthe writer definatley knows quite a lot about SEO and SEM. The good info didn’t stop at their blog, there are also a good collection of great SEO Articles. The articles were grouped together and presented in a way that made sense.

The amount and quality of free info that is provided on the E:Visibility website gives me confidence that they would be a company that I would put on my short list when looking for an SEO company. I would request a free report and see what they recommended as part of my evaluation of their offerings.
