- video or link to more about InterNACHI would be great

- the landing page should easily direct the visitor to his/her area of interest.

- almost everything that is on the current page should be on internal pages after an area of interest is chosen
Thanks for taking suggestions.

Wow. I have been gone all day on inspections, and I come home, open up the message board and found that Nick actually listened to me on another thread to clean up the iNACHI home page. Radio show? Now we are talking. Next stop, Leno??????

I agree with what's been said so far. I would put a video on the front page for sure. Maybe the interview that Nick is doing soon or something promoting why Nachi inspectors rule. O'doyle rules!!

There has to be more suggestions on how to improve http://NACHI.org than we have so far.

It needs to be flashy, something that will keep a consumer here and to come back often. It needs to be easy and you can move about in less than a couple clicks. Visuals, we need visuals - most consumers can probably relate to a photo or a video more so than a boat load of text.

You can do a home page in millions of ways. Home inspector search should be primary. A weekly video. What iNACHI is about should be on the home page. Links to realtor home inspection page that has results/questions about home inspecitons. In example PB plumbing, grading, guttering, foundation, HVAC, etc. Home buyer page to SOP, ethics, etc. Home inspector page for marketing, products, etc. Page for links to governmental issues, mold, radon, FHA, etc. However, most of us with web sites already do some of this.

Nick, are any of the ideas here being considered or was this just a wasted effort?
