New website,.. constructive criticism please!
« on: September 29, 2008, 10:51:27 pm »
I'm putting together a website for John Garnett,... just want some input on the final details.
Any comments & suggestions are welcome:

The site will eventually end up here, but we're waiting on the URL to be transferred to a new hosting service:

I know little about websites so i cant give constructive critisism, but what i will say is , it looks very professional and well set out, and easy  on the eye. not congested like some are! ;)

I like how it looks and feels. Navigation is good and the SEO and tags are looking OK. My only comment is all the service links take you to the same page, which is a little congested and the pics are a bit wee and some more info would be good. However this may be the point as some sites give limited info to get clients to call so it depends on the point of view I guess.

On the whole its a good site  ;)

Nathanael, hi.

You build prof. site, indeed.

But in my pesonal opinion, it should be good idea to put phone number on 1st (at least) and other pages. Sure, pictures should be bigger.

The best style (for customers) of w/c websites I have seen in UK is h_ttp://reachandwash.com/

Warmest regards,

Like it, would prefer a larger typeface though, but very slick.  :)
Oh, and for some reason a third of the page seems unused so seems a waste of available space. So everything bigger (except Johns picture). Hope it helps.

I'll experiment with a bigger typeface. Do you have a nice fancy widescreen hi-res monitor? I have the same and it does look small on my screen,.. but I had to make it work for those ppl who still use a 800 x 600 screen.

Nat, it looks very eye catching and professional. The only problem I could see was that when you clicked the pics on the side (Window cleaning, Builder cleans) it just links you back to the same page.

Yeah looks really good.

The typeface is a tad small, but then i may be working of a large screen :P Personally i would prefer to see the service links take you to other pages, as others have said its a bit too congested. Perhaps you can keep the images the size they are, but allow for enlarging them if you click on them?


Thanks for the topic, reminded me i have to change mine a bit regarding navigation.

Excellent. Very Good indeed.

Spelling: Abseiling not Absailing (You've got it right in one place but not others)

Calculator: No mention of  doors or patio doors

Not down to you but a minimum price in the calculator?

Get a better mug shot of the owner!  ;D

My fee for the above is one pint of fine ale! ;D

It's a game of three halves!

you have a big gap all the way down one side of your web page you could fit after shots in there .

I got the template from www.templatemonster.com

I use them for building all my websites now,.. worth every penny as the job is quicker, and the result is much more pro looking.

The basic templates are pretty much null and void as far as meta tags & SEO for Google are concerned though, so spend a bit of time sorting this out. There's no point in having a great looking website if no one can find it!
