Hi Guys,

I have just finished a new site;
www.house-contents-insurance.com - Home Insurance

What do you think ???

**nick_idbrokers** · 26-03-09

Actually I really like that.

The only thing that perturbs me as a human being reading that website is the amount of BOLD word spread around the page for no apparent reason. I do understand what you have done from an SEO point of view, but humans don't really need that much on one page.

Thanks LemonPromotions, That's a good comment,

I did think about setting the bold CSS to appear the same as the normal text but decided to have it as bold.

Personally i think it makes it easier to skim the pages for the info you are actually looking for but if the general consensus is that it is a bit over the top then I'll change it.

I'm not a big reader

First impression...not bad, seen worse.

I would definitely make the bold text pertinent and split the paragraphs into much shorter length.

For skim reading, the text is too together.

I don't quite understand your recommendation losdev.

By more pertinent do you mean more relevant ?

Also "the text is too together" is that the word spacing ?

I'd be inclined to bullet point pertinent information with a link to 'Read More...' type set out.

If I was looking for insurance I wouldn't 'read' your site I'd skim for the bits that jump out at me.

OK, I would show you, but you have disabled right click (not a good move for accessibility and achieves very little in the way of protection...) so I have taken your text from your source...(see what I did there

)

You have...

Insuring your home as well as its contents is something that many people are unsure of it benefits, until the unexpected occurs. In fact there are many homeowners that labour under the misconception that they don't actually need to insure their home or its contents. Not everyone knows that when a mortgage banks lends money on a property, they automatically insure the percentage of the property that they have lent on. In other words, if you have a home that cost £200,000 and you have a £140,000 mortgage, the bank will have protected their interests by insuring the property for that value.

But what about the balance? It is in every property owner's interest to make sure that their home is insured to its total replacement value in the event of fire, flood, "acts of God", war and indeed any eventuality that can occur. So if you have just acquired a property, you first step should be to make sure that it is fully insured. So shop around the various UK insurance companies for the best deal. Also you should bear in mind that you are not obliged to insure your property through your mortgage bank, although they would really like you to, as they will be earning a healthy commission by doing so. Get quotes to insure your property for its total value. You might discover that the online quote you receive for insuring the full value of your property is not a lot more than the quote that your mortgage bank will give you for partially insuring your property. Over time as your mortgage decreases, and the value of your property hopefully increases, then you should keep tabs with the extent of your insurance cover. Owning a home is the biggest property liability that most people have to cope with. Don't take it lightly or wait for accidents or disasters to happen. Have your home independently revalued every few years, and make sure that your cover is sufficient to cover the worst possible scenario.

More suited to skimming IMHO AND MORE IMPORTANTLY...link them to more details inside. I would also shrink the content using the links for full details....

Oh, and sort your <title></title> out...remove the www. or at worst put it AFTER your main target phrase.

Excellent, Nice one losdev.

I didn't write the content so I have used the paragraphs provided but i see your point.
That'll be something for the future as I'm pretty busy at the moment.
