We've just added a new feature to the home page that scrolls thru several slides. Nothing radical, but, I am looking for some fresh eyes to tell me if it's "intuitive" to navigate.

Your thoughts?

p..s. A special shout out to Matt Scalicone at HomeNet for brewing this up for us.

The "page" buttons are big, the pictures change gradually, and the rate of change is slow enough to not be bothersome. I think it works well.

I like the landing pages Joe - nice work on making those so SEOable. Your site is taking a bit longer to load these days. Not sure if that has to do with this new piece, the chat, or what. It isn't enough to make me want to click on a different website, but after looking at your site as much as I do I can see where it is starting to slow down.

TY, the SEO is Matt's handy work.

Alex, Funny you say it's loading slow, the site is officially 50% faster than it was just 90 days ago, you know I've been on a crusade to Get Fast or Die Tryin!

See the loading time: Pingdom Tools
Scroll down to lower right, see "test archive" , in early January!

Thanks for the acknowledgment Joe, it's much appreciated. I certainly wouldn't be where I am today without the wise teachings of Master Pistell:geezer: .

That's definitely more technical than my eyeballs and memory.

Here's some of the results we're seeing after being live about 10 hours.. my only concern is that these special offers will lose relevance with Google as they become dated. We'll need to figure out someway to keep them fresh moving forward.

This is Google only; Yahoo and Bing haven't found the new pages yet.
These search terms are just pulled out of the air, I didn't do any keyword market analysis; just wanted to see how the app was indexed and how quickly. These results are all indexed specifically to the new pages.

Search Term                                              Position
