Been messing about with my Website. Only cost me £1 for the 1st year on the domain name, and £10.50 for the 2nd year.

I know it's not professional looking compaired to some i've seen, but any comments on it and i promise i won't start crying  :'(

It has brought me work in - 8 contracts with a Housing Association ;D plus others.

Be gentle ;D ;D

Craig,

I see you offer payment by Direct Debit/Standing Order.

I don't think you'll be able to offer payments by Direct Debit since that involves you having some control over your customers bank accounts. 

Companies that can take Direct Debit payments are large companies and have to be accredited by some government institution (or sumthin')

Standing orders are fine though, I take a few of these myself.

I'd remove the Direct Debit bit.

Otherwise, it looks great, but I haven't been through it with a fine tooth-comb yet! ;D

Just removed it.

Looks really good and not to much to hit you once you open the page.

I think your company name is so cool......how did you come up with that name ?

I think you need to change the font. Also, it would look more professional if you weren't hosting on free servers.

Don't have "est. 2005" - maybe put it back in about ten years!

If i have cleaned the windows in the rain i will go back and re-do any windows that haven't come up properly.
They have 24 hours to contact me about any problems.
So far i haven't had to call back to anyone.

Been thinking about changing from a free server.

Not been funny but what's wrong with the font?

Cheers guys

Hi Craig - just wondering, how long does it take to do a caravan by wfp (if thats what you use for caravans) and what's a reasonable price to charge (I hate asking that question)

Cheers

It obviously depends how dirty they are.

If there really bad, spray with TFR 1st.

I've priced between £30 & £50.

Not had many, but advertised it too late.

Maybe make it a bit bigger or not  bold, and not in italics.

Font - is ok, but as has been said, it could be clearer.
In payment methods cash - whist should be whilst.
T & C's should ""this" be "these"
Number 4 where on should be one word I think
Number 5, could you put "inaccessible or unsafe they will not be cleaned.
It looks good though and well done to you.
Just one thing for all to consider and we used to say "pure" this does give the customer the impression that it is just water. Try using purified, even if they don't know what it is, it makes them ask
