Opinions please, good bad or indifferent, shoot from the hip.

Looks ok to me Matt but in the top right corner, for services offered I personally would have the full word of "conservatory" instead of cons. ;)
Although we know what you mean by "cons." many of the public might not.

Hi Matt,
Liked the simplicity of the site - just 2 little pet hates -
can you not shorten words - on your manin banner - mob personally I would prefer Mobile - and teh same in your banner you ahve shortened Conservatory to Cons - these are small points, you don't cut corners with your cleaning, so I would prefer the text not to be cut eithier!
Apart from that I liked it!
-
Hows that look?
-
much better - do you think so too?
-
I like this.

Looks good Matt, not too much text, just enough to get the point across and easy to use.
Did you do it yourself and if so how long has it taken?
-

I like it, thanks for the pointers.

Matt... Site looks great. What software did you use to create it ? Or did you do it through code ?
Wanting to do my own site, but I'm no good at the coding side
-
For ' a real stickler' then shouldn't Cleaning,Clearance and Roofs be in lower case? ;)
As ever Matt,you are are the consumate professional.

Never start a sentance with "And"?
"uPVC" is that right?

Unplasticised Poly Vinyl Chloride
most use the term PVCu these days
at the start of the use ( many years ago ) it was allways called UPVC, BUT around the start of the 90's ( i know as i was maintaining and installing at the time ) , the manufactures started to call it PVCu
Poly Vinyl Chloride Unplasticised
not much of a difference, though if you speak to the manufacturers you will find they use PVCu

Sorry Matt I liked your old web site just not enough pics to many water drops. but I liked the format I always thought it looke professional may be better for commercial work.I think your new one is to compact. But good for domesatic work.
-
Well, we'll see lads, the last one wasnt converting site visits to calls.

Tut, tut Matt,
You could have at least used your own photographs!!
http://www.studioarts-dtv.co.uk/html/templates.html
'Inspired' by this template by any chance?
http://www.studioarts-dtv.co.uk/html/a22-ref.html
The copyright bit at the bottom is quite funny though.

Conversion to calls come by a request to responded now E. G. Don’t hesitant pick up your phone and call me now for a appointment !!! One of the few things I learned at Uni 3 years marketing.

All Ive really done is transfer most of the stuff over from one site to the next, with mostly alterations to the text.
Translation:
"All I've really done is rip off the code and images from this site....http://www.studioarts-dtv.co.uk/html/templates.html and passed it off as my own."
Ive done it over the last couple of evenings, if it had been a wet day Id have done the whole site in a day.
Translation:
"Ive done it over the last couple of evenings, but for the sake of a few quid i could have been honest and paid the guy who did the original work to create the site for me."
Window Wipers asks:

luther1 adds:

Matt bashfully replies:

and so modestly adds:

The world needs more guys like you Matt.
-
not sure think i was still valeting do yo u think tfr will do the job
-
CIU needs more guys like you Mark.
Lets face it, you commented earlier and although you liked the site figured you'd better try to run me down, just because, well you're on CIU, and thats what they do over there. Well done.
-
Matt.
It has a nice look to it.
At the bottom of your home page there are a lot of words showing that probably should not be showing. It looks like they are the search terms that the search engines pick up. Possibly in some browsers they are hidden if the text and background colours are the same? I use IE 6 and that part of the page shows as black text on grey background.
Also, I'm not so sure that "work-ethic" and "care-homes" should have hyphens in them.
-
Thanks Stan, Google can be a bit finicky if you use a font colour the same as the background colour (to hide search terms) it doesnt like it and can penalise your position on a search results page. I may minimise them a little more but we'll see how it goes.
Thanks.
Matt

Matt- Your gutter's look similar to the gutters MB window cleans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Apart from the last comment, the only comment I have made on 'your' site was this:

My father is the owner of Studio Arts, the designer of the template and code you plagiarized and also the copyright owner of the photos you are using, (incidentally the guy in the photo is called Micah and is a friend of mine)
So forgive me everybody if I don't join in the singing of praises.
and Forgive me if I 'run you down' when you put a post up on here asking people to 'shoot from the hip' and pass comment on your supposed hard work.
-
maybe time for another website revamp then ;D ;D
-
Simply a coincidence ;D
He must be a talented web designer, to have come up with a design so similiar as one made by me ;D ;D
In all honesty, you should be patting me on the back, pleased, happy about it, there have been a lot of positive comments about my site, you know your father might just get a few leads out of this. I think some commission is called for. You know Mark, you're just a moaning old woman, look on the bright side for once, your Dads got a bit more work because of me. Simples ;D

He offered those images on here, no worries Craig ;)

David... s-e-n-t-E-n-c-e!!! ;D ;D ;D
lines for homework.....
-
Look Mark, I dont want to put anyones nose out of joint, I dont mind paying a reasonable fee for using the code and images. Let me know what your father thinks. He can call me on my home number and we can come to an agreement Im sure. My number is the landline on the site.
-
Respect to that Matt. Millions wouldn't have been as noble as to suggest such a thing.
I'll leave that for my Dad to decide.... ...I just wanted to plug his site services. ;D
Can't we argue a bit more to keep the thread going. ;)
-
Oh ballcocks, go on then.
Smartie pants ;D ner ner na ner ner!
