It would not let me post the whole thing...sorry.
JSMC Fix List Continued...
Need HTML sitemap.
Make wordpress Blog integrate to website and be searchable. If not possible, or too expensive, just make a link to the blog.
Site Search either needs to work properly, or be removed. I am okay with removing it. Live.com has a decent site search tool that is free. It can search from just my blog pages, the washingtonautocredit site, and the jumpstartmycredit site.
Add H1 headers to every page. H2, H3 if necessary.
Alt text values on images. Able to do in Adobe Contribute on WAC site, but can’t for some reason on JSMC. See if you can make it possible on JSMC.
Applications
Fix phone, and SSN auto tab. Cannot Shift-tab back to previous field. Example, from second phone field to first phone field. I know this is fixable because this feature works fine on WAC. Needs to be fixed for whole site. All applications and Pre-form pages. Can also consider different format for entry boxes on Birthday and SSN fields.
Make ALL applications more user friendly. Shorter. Not one column. See Unitedautofinance.com
SSL icon next to all SSN fields on applications that require it. Like washingtonautocredit.com
Allow spaces in NAME fields. Some people have spaces in their name. Code now prevents spaces in pre-form page. OR IF EASIER…use ZIP code algorithm like web2carz.com. See how it pre-fills the city state and ZIP. I LOVE THAT FEATURE, and how it says We Have Coverage in (city), (state)! Try typing in 98512, or 90210. Or some other zip code. I do not like how the Web2Carz application looks, but it is very good functionally. I am okay with changing application pre-form pages to this model. Maybe just have ZIP code on perform page, or have all current info (except state) and include zip code, so city, state, and zip automatically pre-fill.
Allow people to apply on pre-form as many times as they want. The pre-forms have a code in them now that blocks people from entering the same application more than once in a day. I had someone emailing me that said she was unable to complete the application the first time, then came back later, and was not allowed to complete it.
Use the similar value table for Rent and Income as WAC. All Applications that ask for income or rent/mortgage.
I will give you value table.
Do not allow Home loans applications with less than 5% down payment or equity. Adjust algorithm so it automatically makes the lowest down payment or the highest loan amount 95% of home value.
Home Loan pages will be changed to quinnstreet.com forms. Very Easy to paste code. There will simply be an Apply Now Link that goes to the form. I will supply the code.
Make New Auto Quote Form, warranty form, and debt settlement form all one page. They are so short that they do not need the first form page asking for some of the info.
Make payday loan page only 1 page and insert java form from Leadpile. Easy paste. Very easy.
Home Page
No flash on new home page. All images on new site must be able to place ALT text on.
Home Page does not need preview tabs. How about just text and pictures that are editable in Adobe Contribute.
Update header. Make home be the Logo. Make simple text links across the top for each application type, blog, contact, faqs. Have a cycle of maybe 10 Banner adds that show randomly.
Home page will have full several full paragraphs and pictures with alt text. No need for article previews.
Towards bottom of home page, have 4 columns. 1 for each article type. Loan Articles, Credit Articles, Debt Articles, Insurance Articles. Make it so every time an article is created in backend, it is added to the list that best suites it. Already able to select article type in backend.
Footer
Eliminate current footer with article titles, see what to do with those as mentioned earlier.
Must have more basic footer EXAMPLE: Home | JSMC Blog | Auto Loans | Auto Loan Refinance | Home Loan Refinance| Home Loans | Payday Loans | Student Loans | Student Loan Refinance |Debt Settlement | Debt Relief | Tax Debt Relief | New Vehicle Price Quote | Auto Warranty Quote | Sitemap | Contact Us | Privacy Policy | Terms of Use | FAQs
Fix Someday:
CSS on all sites.
Both Sites Scalable.
Make all email addresses that are not Unsubscribed, deleted, or Don’t contact export to a csv list so it can be imported to a mass email program.
Perhaps use Google’s website optimizer so I can test different images and conversion percentage.
