I immediately hit the back button on any website with automatic sound.

Ditto the automatic sound.

Flash content isn't very Google friendly, so you need to spend a lot of effort optimising that site.

Also,.. weddings=white. Your website is black.  Make it look more bridal & you will get more work from it.

I'd lose the first page and have it go straight to the main page, the first let's the second one down quite a bit.  But well done if you built it all yourself mate, good effort.

i would get one designed from scratch with no music and get rid of the intro page alot of the time they are just a waste of time

i did my one myself just kept it simple im residential only so i find all i need is a point of contact without loads of rubish that know one wants to know about  ;D

Hi PureClean and welcome

I am relative newbie to Window Cleaning and don't have a website so I can't comment on that score i'm afraid.  But as far as feedback on the dj website I would comment:

Automatic music can be quite annoying to some so you may be immediately alienating some potential clients.  Also, if some older people visit the site (as they may be the ones paying) then the current music being played may not accord with their view of 'traditional' wedding reception music.  I personally like the music and I appreciate that the bride and groom may like that genre more but the music played on the site does not reflect your range of styles.

I agree with the colour scheme and 'first page' comments.

There are a few spelling/grammar mistakes which should be addressed.

Give some previous clients a call and get loads more testimonials on there.

On the pricing page you don't make it clear whether the price is the same for Engagements and Anniversaries.

I don't mean to be negative and hope you take the above to be constructive.  I think you have done an excellent job with the site- just needs a bit of tweaking.  I particularly like that fact that you have managed to combine a professional approach with a personal touch- too many go down the 'corporate' road and this can distance them from the general public.

How about contacting the venues you have played at and negotiating a discount on the venue hire if they book through you.  Similarly with the Dancefloor company or a link to their website to get more info.

I think that if you can use the skills you have developed with this site on the WC site then you will not be far off; I'm sure many on here will give you honest opinions which will allow you to produce a very slick WC site.

Good luck

Tom

You cheated!!! OK, you removed the automatic sound, but you also took out the back button. By the way, both my wife & I want our children to have this below as the first song. Not that they will listen...
