Hi Russell, welcome to Startup Nation. :-D

I have a couple of thoughts: The first is that I don`t think many folks in the US understand the term "marriage celebrant." As I viewed your site, and read your post, it became clear that you`re some sort of official who can perform marriages?

I`d suggest that you have an explanation for the term, and relate it to both a minister or priest, and to a Justice of the Peace. Whether a religious or civil ceremony, they`re officiated commonly by these titles. People would more quickly understand your site, I think, with an immediate clarification.

As it was, I thought a marriage celebrant was some sort of person who celebrates their marriage and wants to talk about it for who-knows-what reason. See? :-)

The second is that even I don`t have an off-the-top-of-my-bald-head knowledge of where in the world is Tasmania! I had to look it up! :-D Little did I know it was off the southern coast of Australia! All I could think of was the Tasmanian Devil of old Disney cartoons. That`s not good, if you`re trying to build a more serious type of situation, right?

So perhaps you might have a simple map of Pacific, showing the Australian continent (labeled), with Tasmania highlighted. Users could click the picture---it could be a small 200px image---and be taken to Google Maps or perhaps to a more detailed map elsewhere on your site.

These two suggestions would, in my opinion, more quickly explain to the casual visitor to your site what it is you`re offering. In particular, it would clarify things for American viewers, y`know? ;-)

Hi CraigL

Many thanks for your response to my site details

I  understand what you are saying about defining the term "marriage celebrant", and will work on some words to clarify it.

I will ask my site developer about incorporating a map

Thanks again

 

Russell

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Change the favicon from the default joomla icon to your own, or delete it.
• Use a transparent background or color matching the background of your pages for the graphics on your site. So they "blend in" with the web page.
• Add alt image tags to the graphics that complement your targeted keywords and/or the graphic itself. (Rather than "banner" or "slogan" as your about me page has).
• The FAQ are not user friendly. That may be a default feature, but when I click on one to read, I must go back to view the rest of the questions or click "next" to walk through each one. It would be better to display the answers on the same page as all the questions.
• Having your domain name appear in the title of each page is unnecessary. If it must be there, it should be after the title of the page. This may be a design limitation of the CMS program.

Roland, I`m curious about the limits in SEO that Joomla produces. I`ve been contemplating that as a content manager, but hadn`t heard about search engine issues. Could you maybe comment with a fast summary overview of the problem?
