having a complete redesign and any opinion is welcome.
Please find fault in my site...
One thing: the t&c page I already know about so no comments on that.
if replying to this please say the problem and where on the site it is on the site.
Some could say im crazy putting this post up and I know you lot can be like a pack of wolves sometimes lol
But negative comments I can turn into good in the end ;D
Your also welcome to put a nice comment if you want ;)
Here goes: www.windowwashers.co.uk

front page
All of our window cleaners are insured and saftey trained
about us
TO A INFORMATION (should be "to an information"
stopped reading after then...sorry.
I dont have a long attention span. The few pages I read, repeated themselves alot but used different wording.
-
Button entitled 'Make Money online' Not very professional and leads to the T&C page.
Navigation at the bottom seems to be left alligned so all the buttons are cramped. Maybe centre them?
Other than that nice adaptation of a template. Looks great.

thanks for the reply, the make money link is coming off asap the tandc was added last week as I stopped using the make money online page as it does not suit and does look unprofessional did do the job it was meant in the mean time though.

all changed now thank you for that, wording is done that way for a reason but is noted. thank you for the comments ;)

To me the FAQs sound a bit scary, with three questions talking about non-payment and collection agencies - surely just one quick sentence would do the trick.

just read another couple of pages and there are a few typos and spelling mistakes this kind of thing would tend to put potential customers off as i think it looks unproffesional
Just my opinion no offence meant

my thoughts are that immediatly that i get bored! sorry but there is just to much info thrown at me, i read a couple of lines then find myself scaning the rest, also why are you called Window Washers when you offer so many other services? no one will search your site other than looking for a window cleaner would they?
It all seems to much and pretty messy with the amount of info you have on their i would be inclined to simply it all to a much greater scale.
-
Try to maybe use more images in the main body of the site? It might mean less words and more interest kept...

Hi Nat, thanks for the reply sorry you get bored never had that from anyone yet, but is noted, We are called window washers as that is what we do for a living, the website design for others is a new venture as i get so many customers visiting my site asking for window cleaners in areas I do not yet cover, but this is going well as now I am adding areas. ;) as for others searching my site one thing i do know is alot of window cleaners do visit my site so feedback on this is great negative or positive both are good for me ;D
THE WHOLE SITE IS BEING REDESIGNED I JUST HAVE TO GET WHATS THERE SORTED SO I CAN WORK ON THE NEW ONE.
On the first page spelling mistakes
...with attention to detail on all aspects...
should it be in all aspects

should be their job

CHEERS DEAN, all changed now, spell checker is a nightmare as it changes words like alot to allot etc, other typos are me (just cant read my own mistakes sometimes. :-[

Dean
Never had a problem with customers not calling me, most people scan a page and dont read word for word hence they will miss an odd typo and spelling mistake. typo's etc I cant see sometimes hence why i am asking on here for people to pick fault in my work.
I would not get offended Dean by any comment in a forum as it is your opinion and this is what I asked for. Mad some may think and clever to others, I think im a bit of both ::) ;D

All Joking aside, I couldn't resist the temptation of your offer, ;) you should make some sort of similar offer to your customers, you will have them rolling in.
Its has vastly improved from the last time I read it, and it is getting better every time.
Bear in mind, when you use a spell checker, they are mostly American spell checkers, and although most words are pronounced the same, the Americans spell them differently, Just be aware of this when you use them.
The guy's have already given you some excellent pointers, but one thing I would like to point out for you, is that useing full sentences with capital letters, be it on forums, websites or letters, it is classed as shouting.
I don't have a website but You have already seen my site?? Its not a website and I notice your already a member. ;) If you have forgotten what it looks like? try the link again. ;)

Just noticed, someone stole my link, I'll have to check it out.

It's too cluttered.
Keep it simple and to the point.
What are you trying to achieve?
At a quick glance I see plumbing, web design, advertising for other window cleaners,
I found myself asking what is it you do? are you a window cleaning company or.....?
There's a lot of text too. Most people can't be bothered to read a lot of text so use headers and short to the point captions of text.
Just a 'at a glance' observation.

Fixed my link now, so have a look.
I don't have a web, I have never felt the need for one, but the way my business has expanded over the past few months, I am thinking twice about it.
If you look on the Academy forum and at the forum its self, it was built and designed by a 21 year old son of Jouk 45 and he has already offered to build me a web.
Thanks for the offer though.

Ian I have only read you Q&A page at the moment, Just have a read of what you have in one of the answers.
Quote
We ask for payment to be sent within 48 hours of cleaning, if you are away call us when you get back to let us know payment is going to be late, if there is any problem please call us (we dont bite) if payment is made later than 21 days you will be charged a £2 late payment fee. Payments that continue on to be late will have services suspended till arrears are paid in full and the next clean is paid in advance.
UN-Quote
This is the way I would word it.
We ask for all payments to be made within 48 hours of Completion, If your were away during your clean, then please contact us on your return.
If there are any problems, then please contact us, we will endeavour to rectify any problems you may have.
If payments are later than 21 days, window washers reserve the right to charge a £2 late payment fee.
Any client with Continued late payments, may have there service suspended, until full payments are recieved by our office, Window washers may also ask, for advanced payments for future cleans.

Presure washing? Major spell checking required I think. To be honest imo you have an impressive site but it's far, far too complicated with too much information for anyone looking for a cleaner. You asked ;)
-
Ian, do you design and put websites live for other people?
yes i do, but they have to proof read first before it is live to public, I am not stupid. I may not be to good at english but I can design sites that work and get seen, this is what matters to people.
-
what's timely matten?
Sry for double quote.
DaveW if you are you reply please put where the problem is, as this is not helping in anyway, I have put this up as I cannot see many of the errors and welcome the help but to change it i need to knwo where on the site it is: what page and where on the page. cheers for your other comments though m8 ;)

hi
in my opinon its still to cluttered i didnt know what do and where to click, got me a bit flustered

Yes and no Ian. In my opinion your site is too cluttered and has way too much information, and if you had designed that for me, i would not be impressed. As it has already been said before, if i was a customer looking for a window cleaner, i would back up to google and look for something else. If you are going to offer your services for window cleaning, why not have your own website? And if you want to list lots of other window cleaners and services, put it on another site, where customers can click on an area and have a list of cleaners? Id be intersested in knowing if the cleaners you have on your site already have recieved work from you from your site.

I am doing that as we speak, I know the site needs to change, hence why I put this post up, i have never had a problem getting new custom from my site and it has only changed to this in the last 4/68 weeks. I will be using another domain name for my new site i have many good ones. I would not design a site like this for a paying customer I never have. i cant say all im doing on the site as have to keep a little under my hat for now, but i do respect your time in the reply and note everything anyone says (unless i know it is a complete waste of time taking it in) I'm on google on many different sites already ;)
