Proud Larry's website has the right approach
One of the best designs in Oxford in my opinion! There is a lot of websites in Oxford that have great design layouts and great marketing along with it and Proud Larry's website is on my top 5 list.
If you haven't stopped by their site lately then take a second and check them out. Their newly design layout has a good touch of structure and design. Being more of a music attraction you can see that is their main focus upon arriving.
I have A LOT of good things to say about Proud Larry's here is a list of a few great things that stood out to me:
- Has email marketing
- Great design
- Search bar
- Good URL structure
- Has Google Analytics
- Has a picture of the staff and the building
- Menu is on site rather than off site
Has email marketing
This is extremely important! In order to get some value out of your website visitors an email opt in list is a MUST! They have it in a great location which is above the fold and on the right side of the web page. The only down side is that it is only on the home page, stick it on all the web pages and that will drastically increase your opt ins. *Remember: not all your visitors will arrive to the home page every time. They may find your site while searching for concert pictures in Oxford, MS and that brings them to the photo gallery first. More on email marketing and the importance.. Click here
Great design
The design is laid out perfect. The program this site uses is called Joomla and it is an user friendly CMS(content management system) which the design and layout for the most part is always easy on the eyes and functionality is great as well. For another example of a CMS Joomla site visit OxfordSearch.com
Search bar
A search bar these days is important. Why? because everyone searches, it's convenient. The search bar is on every page as well which is also important. The visitor at any given point may have a topic they want to find. With the search bar being on every page this solves this problem. *Interested in the local search volume for "oxford ms restaurants"?

Good URL structure
All the URL's on the Proud Larry's site have good structure. This is due to the CMS which is used. Joomla is a great user friendly management system and it is also liked by all the major search engines.
Has Google analytics
It does have Google analytics installed on every web page within their website. Great plus here! Tracking your visitors, and using that data can help you increase your profits to a much higher level.
Has a picture of the staff and the building
This is ALWAYS good for any business website. It's a must! Plan and simple.
Menu is on site rather than off site
Thank you! Not to many people do this. Put your menu on your website, not in a pdf file. This helps out with your content on your site. More content equals more love giving in return from Google, Yahoo, and Bing.
With all the good about Proud Larry's site out of the way I would like to touch on just a few changes that need immediate attention. Change the meta tags for the home page and on all the pages. Insert the email opt in list on every page and get a location tab and insert Google Maps.
OVERALL RATING: I give them a 8 and a hook! It would have been a 9 if the email opt in list was on every page. Overall great website Proud Larry's!!
