Title: I'm Guilty
Post by: Scoop on July 29, 2011, 01:50:54 am
I certainly am.

Every time I see a good post from someone I always have a look at their website.

EXCEPT when they don't show it. But then nor do I.

Maybe it's the fact that I'm a wheelie bin cleaner who has just gleaned so much useful info from the window cleaning forum but who feels as if he doesn't belong.

But maybe if you have a look then you'll be able to give me some constructive comments on how to improve - my site is all done by me with no professional input.

You guys have got some really good websites. I'd have you to clean my windows any day (but I've already got Mark, the best window cleaner in Grantham  ;D).

So here's your chance to praise my best efforts or to give me some constructive C or even to pelt me with eggs - I don't mind, whichever way.

Good name by the way, catch phrase that came to my head when I see it.
"use the wheelie cleaner and have a cleaner wheelie"

No, not unless Mum forgot to tell me something. Only got one sister and she's in Canada.

Thanks to everyone who's looked

But ... no room for improvement on the website  ???

I don't mind some constructive criticism.

If it is 'perfect' then maybe I should go into website design  8)

Very friendly site, however i think your call out charges are too steep on your gutter cleaning prices, unless you dont really want any work outside the 5 mile zone

It's straightforward, to the point and gets the message across.  Unlike many sites, the spelling and grammar were correct too.  I've seen many good looking sites spoiled (spoilt??  ;D ) by such errors.
There is only one thing I would query - the pricing for the gutter cleaning.  I imagine that charging more for a semi (compared to terraced) is fine if it has a hipped roof.  However, if it has a gable then there is no extra work for semi compared to a terraced house.  Indeed, a terraced house may be more difficult as there could be time consuming access issues.  It's a site that's easy to navigate without getting bogged down and I reckon that it's just fine for the job it's meant to do.

Hi Scoop, spotted a couple of typos in your FAQ section: rooves = roofs    the = there
Q: Do you clean the outside of my gutters?
A: We can also wash the outside of your gutters and fascias and even conservatory rooves. The is an additional charge applied for this service.

looks good. i like the van too. if prices work for you then keep them. i would put approximate, or starts from tho. you wouldnt want to empty some of the conservatorys i have for only 12 quid i can bet.

nice work.

Sincere thanks for looking folks  :) and for the many constructive comments. I'll do those typos tonight - the 'rooves' one is really bad - don't know where I got that from  ???

Re. pricing, I don't know. I quoted 8 gutters last week and got knocked back on 3 which was a blow. Always the more expensive ones. These 3 were £80-£100 but the houses were huge.  People don't seem to understand that it costs more if you live in a mansion than if you live in a 3 bed semi. 

My website usually gets around 4 hits a day. Yesterday it had 129  ;D so thanks to all for clicking.

Like the friendly approach on your homepage, gives it a personal touch.
Don't like the colours. Red and yellow are too bright, a bit 'whoa there'. The colours are ok together, they just need toning down a shade or two or go for the burgundy colour of your van.

Good work.
