Re: My New Website. Opinions Please.

Hello!

I am actually a hobby web designer and wouldn't call myself a professional. But I've been doing it since I was 12 years old.

It looks good, but I would say it needs some more Wow factor. IMO it looks kind of bland because after you click a link, it's only text. An example is the pricing link.

http://www.detail2u.com/

That's one of my favorite detailing websites. Though of course you don't have to go all out with flash and things like that, but a little more Pop to your website could get you a few more customers.

And please don't take any of this the wrong way, I'm just giving an honest opinion.

Re: My New Website. Opinions Please.

I think the website looks pretty good Maks. Of course detail2u's website is first rate, and I'm sure pretty expensive to set up. My site is only a starter. I mainly wanted to make sure I could get the domain name and something to reference on my business card. I'll tweek it later ... hopefully.

But here's my thought; will your customer have high speed internet that is required to view a site like detail2u? Many people are still on dial up (you'll know your customer best). Some flash a pop is cool, but too much requires a professional and lots of $$.

Their website may look really cool, but keep in mind they appear to be a chain and a large detailing outfit. I think their website is ok, a bit over the top for my liking. I am majoring in e-biz mgt. so from a marketers standpoint I would rate their site very low, and your site much higher. I say this because the platform they choose to construct thier site in is flash. Flash is very hard to index in the major search engines(can be done, not easy). A tradtional site like yours has keywords that potential customers might search to pull up your website. You should look into search engine optimization to get your site ranking higher in the search reuslts. Good way to beat out other deatilers without spending a dime if you do it yourself. I am willing to bet that the other companies havent taken the time to do this!

I agree with tapp1, you need some head codes installed in your index page.

For example;

title Calgary WebSite Designers Internet Development Graphic Designers Businesses SouthFishCreek.com - Main Menu title
meta name="description" content="Calgary website designers, developers offering professional bids, quotes and affordable web design services, web site hosting, search engine optimization as well as graphic design, branding and logo creation"
meta name="keywords" content="website, professional, web, layouts, custom, design, hosting, top rated, services, provider, templates, freelance, advertising, consultants, domain Names, Calgary, Business Directory, South Fish Creek, Branding"

The above are tags I created for a website development company and work very well.

Otherwise, i like the design. It's fast loading, clean and informative.

Take Care

You can do something similar to that, but to achieve better results make use of heading tags with key phrases and try to scatter keywords throughout the copy on your site.

First word I see is spelled wrong.

convient should be convenient

Otherwise looks ok. Pricing page is a bit odd. I have seen many sites and a lot give closer prices than that. Of course there is always a disclaimer saying vehicles in real bad condition or larger vehicles will be more.
