Cool site

Excellent site !
Just a few minor issues with presentation of spelling and scan: (but these are only suggestions based on the fact that I'm old so please don't take offence)
Erith, Kent not Erith Kent as the latter sounds like a province of The Netherlands.
Have you got (green algae blocking the natural sun light from your conservatory). My English teacher taught us that 'got' was a word, along with many others, that doesn't sound business like with alternatives being sourced whenever possible. He always suggested an approach like; Do you have....
Likewise blocked is good but obscured sounds more professional.
These are very minor criticisms as the site looks extremely good, I like the pictures, the slides, colour scheme and the fonts.
Very nice.

Thanks for the coments i have edited the text you mentioned
The site still needs alot of fine tuning before i will be totally happy with it but im hoping that with the added pages and seo it will give me a stronger site

I also like the area coverage with text on the left and a map on the right.
Nicely reinforces your working arena in the customers minds.
Rain guarantee is well explained and prominent too as is the omnipresent phone number.
-
i think its excellent, one of the best i have seen, i also thought that of your previous site as well, both very njice
-
Looks good.. Easy on the eye :)
-
Your Rain Guarantee is mentioned twice on the first page of your site and again on your Residential window cleaning page.
I reckon once on the first page is enough.
But that's just my opinion.
Apart from that it is very very good.
Well done.

Thats one of the things im going to change their are a few bits on the site that need sorting (Doubles ect) but i added the text on the home page to bring it up to 300 words for seo reasons.
Once i complete my city and guilds the home page will be changed

Your website looks good but is has a few errors in it:
'meter' should be 'metre'
'customer's' should be 'customers' (no apostrophe) and have a comma after it also.
It all needs a good read really; difficult when you do it yourself because you can miss things.
I'm only mentioning it, because i'm guessing you put some time and effort into it and you want it to be near perfect (i've just done mine).
I'm fairly new to window cleaning but have spent 30 years doing graphic design. I'd be happy to give it a read through next week and send you my comments, if that would help.
I've been learning a lot from this forum, so happy to put a bit back.
Cheers

nice site clean cut and very clear and to the point nothing too fancy
-
looks really nice. One of the best wordpress sites i've seen.
My only one gripe is the phone number font you used i would change to something like helvetica bold. Just my own taste though.
Good effort!!

I'm old school, maybe too old and maybe out of touch...
Is it safe to list your

address + map
Time when your away on course...
Just to list a few, with internet fraud on the increase, arn't you giving them a head start?
-
very nice. only issue is where you say on the home page 'we do window cleaning but also offer these other services' and then the first two things you show are residential and commercial window cleaning. that doesnt make sense to me. obviously only a minor issue
-
The first thing that hits me is the scrolling banners from the main page they move to quick and don't give me time to read them
You also get a 404 error MSG after you click on read more
The before and after photo on conservatory roofs looks worse after you cleaned it

Do people on this site not answer questions like this anymore?
I thought it was a "Forum" a place to ask and answer questions, get advice and share advice?
Was I wrong?
Am I wrong?
Are only "God" like one's answered?
Is it time for me to go again?
Honestly have the decency to answer a question that's posed! :-\

I have asked my business account manager and have been told it is not a problem if it was a personal account it might be a problem.
as for posting about going on a course if some one wanted to break in to your home all they have to do is wait until you go to work but im not the only person living in my home my wife will be at home with the kids.
Plus to grow my business with google places now google plus local you need to provide your address and as i work from home and don't have a unit i have to use my home address.

Thanks for your reply Paul
Sorry for the rant! :-[
I used to have a internet site, yes google tend to put a map on it and it show your home, I for one didn't like that so I deleted the site.
I just use word of mouth and telephone listings (but even then the same happens) freedom of information! sounds like big brother to me ::)
-
Couldn't someone just use google maps streetview to see if you are out?

I am using 123reg but service is rubbish so thinking of moving to wordpress.
Why did it cost you $45 for the template I thought they were free ?
I understand that you have to pay for hosting
Who is best for hosting as I will be leaving 123reg who also host my site ?
Great website mate, liked your old one but the latest is cool

Out of interest where did you get that gutter picture with the leaves ? great picture

I bought the pictures from fotolia as you can get done for copyright if you just copy pictures of the net.
