Not bad what program did you use?
Not too sure about the photo with the Tattoos though.

Good choice of words - meticulous works well.
Like the proper use of the term ' fuel station ' rather than the usual incorrect ' petrol station '.
Like the way that you've divided up the phone and bank numbers to make them easier to assimilate.
Like the slideshow while you're reading as it reinforces the point subconsciously.
Only iffy bit, as already said, are the tattoos.
I wouldn't make adverse judgement about you because I don't you but some potential customers might.
Very good then that it includes testimonials from the existing customers mentioning ' friendly and polite '.
I like it and think it's very good

looks fine.
i like the ling to freeindex reviews, tho just to warn you, we have had a bad review on their ourselves by a person with a made up name, and freeindex point bank refuse to remove it, despite their policy on reviewers having to use their real name! really frustrating! >:(

It's done via Moonfruit, only thing that has cost me is the domain name

Thats a bit dodgy then, suppose you have no control over who posts, could be a vendetta from another window cleaner??
-
Looks good. Like it.
Thanks

I'm looking to get a logo made up now and applied, as I think the current title is very appealing commercially, also will gradually get some better quality pics with signwritten workwear
-
Just had a brief look and it looks fine! 8)
I wouldn't publish my banks details online personally. Probably a small risk, but a risk nonetheless.
(see this link (http://"http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/7174760.stm") for why there is a risk)
Also, you need to spell check your text..
But all in all, looks like it will do its job!

Looks good - but you need to separate your meta keywords with comma's. ;)

if it is a business account the details are useless to crooks as you need a little calculator type machine to do anything online and verify the transactions. if it is a personal account I would agree with you.
Site looks good, someones already said about the tattoo in the picture some people don;t like them and think they are thuggish so off putting, I personally Like tattoo's but broad market gives wrong impression.
if you can set up a forwarder email on your domain whatever@s-coxwindowcleaning.co.uk and put that on the site instead of @gmail.com it gives a better impression.
now all you need to do is fill the site with a few more pages (4 more) and jobs a good'en ;D
Nice clean and uncluttered

Separate each word or phrase?? Window cleaning Worcester or Window, Cleaning, Worcester? ???
-
Window cleaning Worcester, Window, Cleaning, Worcester window cleaner, waterfed-pole, window-washer in worcester
Separate each word or phrase with a comma

Whats it say? i read somewhere that if you reply to a bad review explaining you have never had that person as a genuine customer it will look good for you

it says something like we charged them £25 pound and did a bad job, then they got 'reach2clean' and he was cheaper and much better... does sound suspicious. i have blocked all our reviews on there now, but its a shame
-
So does anyone get many jobs off their website? If so what sort of traffic do you get weekly??
-
Yes i get work off my site and its only a one page site.
Im doing a new wordpress site at the moment with more pages ect should be done within the next few weeks ;D
taking me a long time to get it how i want though

Why 4 more pages ? you've just said it looks clean and uncluttered
Excuse my ignorance on the subject Ian, I dont yet have a website but when I do it was going to be along the lines of steveos , basic and to the point. btw I like it ;)
how many customers looking for a window cleaner are really going to be interested in looking at more than one page, or am I missing something.

Can honestly say, don't think I've had one single lead yet? Been active for a good while, don't think I'm getting the traffic?!

You will need to find out your site traffic i use google analytics if you have no site traffic you won't get no work.
Paul
-
How much traffic do you get on average a week then paul?
-
I get about 20-30 visits a week from erithwindowcleaning.com and i get one or two jobs a month off it from search only results and alot more work from customers that get a leaflet and contact me through the site.
my new site www.erithcleaning.co.uk will have more than one page which im hoping with the right seo will give me a higher search ranking for the search terms that i want.
Paul
-
That's a really nice looking website mate, personally I wouldn't do too much to it as its good as it is! I think my seo is letting me down, think I only get about 10 or so a week??

It looks fine - but watch out, here comes the spelling and grammar police ... Nee Naw! Nee Naw!

Company's not Companys

I get 35+ visits a week. Doesn't all convert to enquiries. Difficult to say how much I've made from it. It costs very little, I do all the SEO myself have never paid a web designer but definitely worth having.
Custards like at the very least the online banking facility.

I've signed up to analytics, find it all a bit confusing though, probably why I'm a window cleaner!

Shouldn't wesite be website? :P

What programme did you use to design your logo Erith, looks really professional

I used inkscape but a trial of coreldraw or adobe would be better

The reason is to give the customers or potential customers all the info they need if your offering services and you explain them well they may add that to having more pages helps with ranking a website as there is more content and google love good relevant content one page is like finding a needle in a haystack, people that complain they don't get any traffic do not spend the money or if they do they spend it in the wrong places panda and penguin updates on google have seen loads of sites drop off and lose rankings because people try to over engineer a website add pointless links to it with no substance all of which is a pointless time consuming. Hope that explains a little ;)

I have 4 pages in google results if you put 'Oakley Window Cleaning' into google. Its not all relevant to window cleaning but it raises the profile of my domain in google, thus encouraging it rank higher in search results pages.

Do you do this yourself or do you pay someone . IF you do it yourself how ?
Dont worry I am Hertfordshire so not competing with you ?
cheers
Tony
-
Do it myself.
I find web-creation fairly simple and SEO isnt too hard either. I just learnt by reading up online and studying what we're meant to do to get to a reasonable search engine ranking.

Ok cheers
Any advice where to look or read ?
-
To be honest I just used Google. Its not much help I know, I think I had more time on my hands in those days but a decent website design forum is probably a good place to start or even a site that hosts web design templates etc.

It's been up and running for around a year but I've finally got it to look somewhere near how I wanted!

Can I ask what you pay for hosting? I've got my domain purchased so once I've designed the pages will need an affordable hosti g company.

Tell me about it! ::)

I don't pay anything, I brought 3 domain names which are around a tenner each and last a couple of years and that's it, hosting is free through Moonfruit, that is the basic package though. I do know a guy who works in SEO so I will probably discuss what's best for the website with him in the next few months!
