Hi all please could you take a look at my web site there is a carpet cleaning page. Any feed back would be great thanks and yes i know about the spelling its only a draft. thank you
-
Invest £9 to buy a .co.uk and £20 a year to get hosting.
Best advice you'll get.

thanks tony im looking in to getting co.uk should get that sort over the Christmas holidays

I agree with Tony20, the site address is not professional looking enough to promote a business.
Get a .co.uk as Tony20 says.
I looked at the carpet cleaning page.
Its ok, but type % ie percentage, what you done is a lazy short cut and clients may think you will do a short lazy job of cleaning. Also "% off" should be "percentage of", May be other grammer mistakes, didnt check it all - but that needs to be done well before you put it live.

I suggest u try to sell benefits rather than " we aim.."
ie we provide customers with a first class carpet cleaning service....we can do this for u and that for you....factual.
Bullet points always make it easy for the reader to quickly absorb what u r telling them.
have a look at other www sites - and pick the bits u like best.
Try to avoid long paragraphs of copy - u will lose the reader v quickly!
Sell the result - not all custys are v interested in how u arrive a the result!!
do spell check everything - and read read thru again and again - it must be perfect!
hope this helps

Had a quick look, few things:
Take away the 'Powerd by Microsoft' at the bottom and general search bar at top.
Defo get a co.uk address
Get some before and after photos of 'your work' - always helps
Get your contact detail put clearly on each page (on by header-just contact numbers will do)
Good luck with it mate, have a look at other sites to get an idea and make a note of what you like and dont like and then get a 'non' carpet cleaner to have a look as its them who will be using your site and get there feedback (not friends and family who will like your site to make you happy).
Cheers and Merry Christmas ;D

hi Gavin
its 'ok' - dont mean to be negative but like the others say you really need to maybe stop investing time and effort into that one, buy a .co.uk for about £1.99 and then start building the site for that.
like Joe said, presentation is everything and having a DIY looking web address will set the seed of thought of is he a DIY trader to all that view it. Its like the van scenario - someone in a clean, well kept older van is better off than someone in a banged up, dirty new one - it all plants seeds with the customer about the operation!
PS - think you maybe need to amend the dry times bit - maybe put that the dry time depends on fabric type and put dry from 2 hours but not state an upper limit - always word stuff that doesnt bring probs in the future!!!
