[b]new website for all part-time activities[/b]

[justparttime]

hi all,
I have just launched my website (www.justparttime.co.uk), it's dedicated to all part-time activities ranging from part-time jobs, part-time services to part-time courses. If you want to advertise your part-time services or part-time jobs please send an email to [email protected].
and also please let me know what you think about the website..
thanks..

 

[justparttime]

i forgot to say that it is currently free to advertise your part-time services or part-time jobs..

 

Welcome to the forums!

Hi,

Welcome to the forum

[justparttime]

thanks.. but no-one has given me any comments about the website... is it that bad??

 

[Jayne]

Hi,

I didn't comment as i'm not a techy, I did find the green writing a little hard to read, but i've got sensitive eyes to bright colours. It was a very easy to use site though

I wish you all the luck in the world

Jayne

thanks a lot for your feedback.. that is the first feedback i've had since the launch (which was a couple of days ago)...

Hi -

I liked the clean look and the use of 'white space' which helps to make it easier to navigate a site.

However, I would break up the long descriptions into paragraphs as the text is quite small and runs into each other.

Also there are some errors and when I clicked onto a job advertised in green on your Jobs page, I tried to click "new search" but it returned a 404 Error which is a "page not found" error.

If I put my web marketing hat on, then I think you need a good angle. The fact that you are marketing part-time jobs only is good. However, you are up against (as you are already aware of, I'm sure) huge, huge jobs websites.

So, If I were in your shoes I would add a "working mothers" or to be more politically correct "working parents" theme to this site with pages that are going to be marketable through search engines on various subjects that are pertinent to people who find themselves in a position where they only want to work part time. Because search engines love text.

there are also lots of "working parents" type forums out there that may be of use to you too.

I hope I am not teaching you to suck eggs - and I wish you all the very best with this venture.

 

[justparttime]

thanks so much for the feedback.. i tried replicating the steps you took that gave you the 404 error, but it didn't give me any error message. can you PLEASE try again and maybe tell me which job it was you clicked on..
THANKS!!

It's quite scary knowing that i'm up against the big guys.. but the idea came to me when i couldn't find a website dedicated to all things part-time because i was looking for a part-time ob but also needed part-time childcare to take care of my kids when i'm working..

 

[bitsnstuff]

I like the idea. Maybe go on to some of the parenting forums and see what they think, whether they would use it or have any ads to place.

Chichester is listed twice btw :lol:

Hi,

She's fine - a normal 2 year old :shock: into absolutely everything and currently driving me nuts - bless her!!!!

Check out www.mumszone.co.uk - owned by Ravensfire (a member here). I am sure you will be able to find many places to say 'hi' and offer your services!

Kate :lol:

 

[justparttime]

Hi there, just joined and posted a service ad. Lets see how it goes. Only problem is my website link doesn't work properly!

 

[justparttime]

hiya,
i noticed your advert, thanks! i just found out that all of the website links aren't working. we'll rectified the problem first thing monday morning.. trust things to go wrong at the crucial moment..

 

[babybiz]

Hiya It's a really nice looking website, possibly a tad too green as I found it uncomfortable after 10 mins or so. The other thing was when I clicked on courses I found myself going off your site which threw me a little bit. I found it really nice to use though.

Nice to meet you
Tashxx

 

[justparttime]

thanks... part-time courses is linked to Hotcourses at the moment as we are in the process of developing that page.... i want to say a big thank you to you (and everyone) for taking the time to have a look at the site...thanks a lot!!

 

[clairemackaness]

Why not try linking to www.netmums.com they will let you advertise too. I often post my events on there if there fun for kids.

I think you need to split the site up a bit, it appears to be a site offering services, but when you register a service you seem to get job hunting style registration pages.


If you know what I mean?

oh and I agree.....a bit too green

 

[RSL]

The site looks great!!! Good luck with it all.

Wishing you all the best with your new site, I registered but couldn't find my town Lanark.

Like the look of the site but not sure that the code looks too well from an SEO point of view. missing metas, lots of clunky javascript, no H1 tags etc etc Fine if you are not relying on the search engines to bring you traffic and haven't paid lots of money to a designer. That said I'm no expert, any of the resident SEO experts wanna qaulify or debunk the comments?

 

[justparttime]

hi Claire Mackaness,
just to let you know that the broken links has been rectified...

 

[justparttime]

thanks for the tip on SEO.. i wanted to focus on these things step by step.. for now the design, layout and functionality is paramount.. then i'll move to the next stage which is SEO... i would like to know if there are any SEO experts around to liase with..
