seems a bit low
-

seems a bit low
prices are FROM* m8
the area is saturated with wc to be honest and im hell bent on gaining the lions share.
4 BEDS ARE £10+
3 bed semis are £7+ (15 mins max)
im at the point where 1 not today is dumped so cant complain.
ive worked my nuts off to get us where we are today and do all my own artwork for web design and fliers etc etc.
the prices in our area our really dictated by the dolers , and i am slowly strangling them out with our service and appearance.
im lucky that the new customers get the prime prices & each messer that we have gets dumped every time we get a new prime custy ;D
Glad you like the site by the way, just need the categories sorted so domestic is first in order and the buttons on right side of gallery appear pressed when you hover over them.

nice site carl well done on the revamp good luck with it all
-
brill, love it, I found a good way to get thoughts is to ask customers to have a look, do a competition, say free inside clean, helps search a little, and they look at and are reminded of what other services you provide and your new name is burnt into there mind!! lol, every little helps.
oh and can i have a copy of your website?? lol ;D
I know what you mean on the 'clearveiw' name so been done, a pal of mine a few miles away went for it, thinking he was original I said don't!
-
Seen worse ;D

Jooma is a wonderous thing.
All you need to do is find a site such as http://www.shape5.com/ (http://www.shape5.com/), buy/download a template, and you're done.
Obviously you need to have a sor tof idea how to use Joomla, but it's pretty user friendly! :)
-
yeap love Joomla, have one template using it, i just sit there and watch it do its thing and it is quite pathetic how excited it got me :P
going to use it for the wife's web site and then mine, different info tho on mine lol, she does nails
-
The website I suggested above offer an AMAZING free template.
It's probably the BEST free Joomla template I have seen.
-
Good site gets to the point and the revolving before and after pics look good. You also seem to have thought through the whole marketing concept so it all joins up. Thumbs Up
-
Does anyone know how Joomla works in regards to SEO?
-
That is probably the best window cleaning website i've seen.
Well done.
Im not envious at all..........not one little bit.....................honestly I couldn't care less that your website is 100 times better than my one.
Damn it! :-[

You haven't added it to Google yet.
I think the site performs well, telephone number is clearly visible.
However there is nothing about you as a person, no pictures of you, is your name there. I was speaking to a customer yesterday who chose me because I had a picture of me on the main page. I was going to get rid of it but they liked it so I guess it will stay. Maybe you could include that.
Try to make the "About us Page" a little bit more personal, don't hide behind you name, make it personal reach out a bit.
As for the SEO, I dont think you have put much thought in to it. Using .jpeg are fine they look good, but google prefers text. Therefore to improve this, add a bigger description to the title tag. Currently you have nothing. I.E for the conservatory .jpeg link, You should have as the title tag text some thing like "Click here to find out about our Conservatory Roof Cleaning Services"
I would also change the url. E.g currently its this http://www.cannockwindowcleaning.co.uk/index.php/services/conservatory
It could be http://www.cannockwindowcleaning.co.uk/index.php/services/Conservatory-Roof-Cleaning-West-Midlands-Areas-Covered etc
this is SEO real estate, use it.
I think you need new keywords, there aren't enough.
Also what areas do you cover, find somewhere to list them all they help search engines.
I hope all this makes sense.
There is loads more you could do it regards to SEO, search lynda.com and maybe purchase some SEO tuts

thanks m8
the site is still in finishing stages so i will forward this to him to alter it.
i agree on the personal about us page ,just havent had time to do that bit yet
i have just sent google the info and am awaiting verification pin ,
keywords are not done as you see.
i used an seo service last website www.clear-viewwindowcleaning.co.uk
i think it was about £150 for site optimisation and backlinks etc etc
you clearly know how to seo a website , would you like to optomise it ?££

I thought buying backlinks was illegal/frowned upon?

going against the grain here, sorry but i dont like it.
Firstly, it takes ages to load, which in fairness might be my internet connection, but i dont think so. That is one thing i hate, slow loading websites.
But its just too "busy" its a bit crammed with too much information.
And the large text saying "LOCAL HONEST RELIABLE" looks garish.
Also, the "contact us" is just a form with no address. Another thing I hate! And why only 500 characters?
BUT I like the way theres lots of payment options.

i will take your comments onboard ;)

A little bit of googling tells me that it is indeed against Google's t&cs, so I'd make sure that they're not buying links.
You wont get arrested or fined, but you will be punished severily when it comes down to your page ranking within Google.
So theoretically you could be losing £150 SEO you have paid for! :)
BE CAREFUL.
