Hi chaps, if you have the time, could you have a look at my website.  Its a free one with google and im thinking about a complete overhaul so i was hoping you could tell me what you like about the site and what you dont like about the site?
it currently gets me on average a new customer a week but ive only ever got 2 commercial jobs from it.  my thinking is more, high quality images but please give me some pointers

getting one job a week off it!  mine has brought me only 1 job and one enquiry in 5 months!

how long did it take for your site to start bringing in work at this rate?

in terms of feedback, i like the photo of you on the landing page, and i like the detail you have out in about your service.   i also feel that you photos are good as they are definitely you, rather than stock photos, so it pulkls the site together.

I agree that pictures of the person whos business it is looks the part.

sorry for late reply, cheers chaps.  gonna get some more photos of me doing commercial work, and try and set up an extras page for conny roof's etc. 
rich, it was pretty quick to be honest, think im just lucky about the area im in

Why don't you get a wordpress site that what im doing its going to take a while but once its done it will be worth it

Hi

it isn't that great at the moment still loads to do on it pictures &  text need sorting out  but it should be fine for one or two years then when i need a more involved site with card payments and other stuff i have planned i will get a web designer to do it.

I found Wordpress a pain to set up on my websites root directory but once that was done you soon get used to it and with all the plugins and wigets you can make a great site.

i think some of the word press templates look fine. If you see how long its been taking me to create some web art work for a couple of sites im doing its hard going.
