Please have a look at my new CC Web
« on: May 27, 2010, 07:06:17 pm »
Hi

Been using Microsoft office live online for a good while now with good results tho as its a "free website" the templates just never looked that professional heres a snaphot example of old webby:

http://www.easyraydesign.co.uk/aa-clean-old/


and heres the new one,

http://www.aa-clean.co.uk

The "upgrade" happened as a direct result of a random email I received from a local company offering affordable web design. So glad I did!!! (and just shows email marketing works!)

It has just gone live today and is "straight from the shop" so needs some additions / tweaks in gallery etc to be done by myself with my own logins

Any comments or thoughts most welcome ....  :)

Best wishes

Stu

I liked your old one, the wording was more customer friendly that said this looks far more professional.

IMO when you click onto the prowler you should have a picture with the writing so people can look and read and that gives them recognition.

Thanks for input so far chaps  ;D

points taken on board Shaun just what i am looking for any glaring mistakes or blindin good bits etc...

No worries derek i often ponder that one  myself  - always wondered how many potential custys see me as just another AA van man and not the best local cc round ere!!! lol  next van will be a black one with yellow graphics.  BTW -  AA Cleaning & maint means  All Aspects of Cleaning.... the van is just a bit of tongue in cheek and a good van to boot.

We can easily move the larger items by use of our slider system.  TVs and computers will only moved by prior agreement otherwise they will be cleaned around.

Hi Stu,

Nice site, very pleasing to the eye, how much was it?

Couple of problems you need to tell them about, not checked it all though, there are maybe more.

The link people can click on when they hover the cursor over the header div (your logo) isnt correctly coded thats why it doesnt work and take you back to the index (home) page, it is only on a couple of pages for some reason  ???, but should be on them all:

<div id="header">
            <p id="logo"><span>AA Cleaning And Maintenance</span></p>


it should only have one .php and it will be ok.

Also the about us link on the: <div id="snav-wrap"> isnt linked to any page:

<div id="snav">
            <ul>
                <li>Home</li>
                <li><a href="#">About Us[/url]</li>


so it doesnt work.

Kind regards,

Paul

Before I started this business 7 years ago I did study html at college for a couple of years, and have done some very good websites over the years for others, but its like any trade, if you are a painter and decorator, you never do your own, or dont do it as good as you do for your customers  ::) trying to get back into it at the mo, but am always 2 busy.

Hey Derek did you ever get that leather job from that blond girl  :o in winnington that I put u on to??

I would have to agree looks good but as you said some more work to make it really professional.  When I opened it on the home page words over ran into each other, which didn't look professional.

'Carpet cleaning cleaners for a cleaner Middlesbrough' as a Browser title gets your keywords in but doesn't really make sense.  Does anyone take any notice of Browser titles though?

Morning

Thanks for input everyone very interesting and helpful

The yellow vest is an integral part of my uniform underneath my t shirt as I am a sweaty b*****d   LOL

The page title doesnt make sense but I came up with that for my  old site and thought it helped get it page one google....  which is where it ended up so thought best leave it as is

Best wishes


Stu

Hi Stu

looks professionally done, well done on all the hard work.

I would change the "Testimonials" box and prowler boxes around and have photos next to each testimonial as it will make them more believable and say so much more.

You also need a H1 with you top keyword as its not in your url

Why are you hiding those photos away (they are great) they need to be on that slide show. with respect no cares about the prowler or van apart from you. its what can this guy do for me attitude.

With respect
