Promotion of brand new website

[londongirl]

Hello everyone,

I am based in London and I am helping some friends to promote a brand new website called www.21stcenturylove.com.

We have lots of good ideas and good intentions and want somewhere where genuinely unattached busy professionals like ourselves can meet each other with a chance for long term relationship and romance.

However, none of us have done anything like this before and any ideas on website promotion will be great.

The website has been customised with a lot of love, attention and care, and it will be a shame if no one knows about it.

Please help. My email address is contact@21stcenturylove.com

How much do you know about SEO and press releases?

You might consider a redesign before final launch. Some design elements don't fit well (most notably the big blue buttons).

If you are targetting other UK residents, you should consider either a .co.uk domain or use a host with servers based in the UK

First thing I noticed - don't just drop in and resize your images through your HTML editor - it makes them look really pixelated. Instead, resize them in an image editing program like Photoshop and resave them at the size you want.

Shrinking them down in your HTML program makes them develop 'jaggies' and stretching, making it really noticeable that you've not really resized them properly.

This will go a long way into making your site not look amatuerish.

As noted up top, the blue buttons dont work in the design either - they're noticeable but hard to read the text on them. I'd follow the reddish-beige palette for those.

Not exactly SEO suggestions, but design counts too! :)

If you are trying to brand the site as a UK site, you might want to reverse that :)
