After a few weeks of learning about options pages, jquery, formulating ideas, etc. I've finally finished my first (advanced) WP theme.

I figured it might be a good idea to get a theme that I designed, developed, etc. actually reviewed, and see if the products I'm creating is anything good.

So any advice concerning the design, the features, the structure, or anything at all relating to the theme, whether it's good the way it is, or areas for improvement, either would be appreciated.

Oh, and the theme is called Dark Mystery. It's located here:
Dark Mystery Theme

Also, if you'd think viewing the actual code behind the theme would be helpful for optimization purposes, diagnostic issues, etc., let me know.

As part of this... We have recently revamped our website attempting to make it a bit more user friendly, clearer in its goals and much more concise. As part of this revamp, we run our site through several SEO web site graders to see how it stakes up to our competition, how it is seen by search engines and, most importantly, how it is seen by our users.

To that note, one recent site scan by websitegrader.com, recommended that we dumb down our site’s content. In fact, this was it analysis and recommendation;

“Readability Level: Graduate School

This score measures the approximate level of education necessary to read and understand the web page content. In most cases, the content should be made to be simple so that a majority of the target audience can understand it.”

Not only were we shocked by this but a bit surprised as we felt our entire site was written in a “plain English” manner that all could easily understand. Further, we thought it would be extremely rude to assume that our users or any users for that matter need to be talked down to or have content dumbed down for.

Thus, it is either us that is wrong (and we think we know our user best) or the website grader.

To the note, we will ask you. Tell us what you think. Do you think our site is written at a graduate school level and should be made simpler “so that a majority of the target audience can understand it?” ]]> Website Reviews phanio http://www.small-business-forum.net/website-reviews/3465-readability-level-graduate-school.html
