Paul

The site does not sell at all, you are making the mistake of aiming it at CC's or even yourself, not at your customers.

The award winning stuff is just bull and unlikely to convince.

Agree with Doug, think I would move on if I was looking for my carpets cleaned.  I think Shaun's is very good, but even that has spelling mistakes, and poor grammer in places.

Paul site looks a little dated but it looks straight away as if you are well trained and a company you can TRUST which is after all the only reason a punter would call and is the best " call to action". Needs better contact details.

Needs a bit of modernizing but IMO good content and Chris Straker seems to be doing OK making a big deal out of his rewards  ;) ;)

Mind you, i have same photo from AllergSTOP award certificate................. only use awards that i won by vote not by sales as it can instill more confidence  ;)

Only good if search engines find wording and many will not even ask about awards ................ i have come across quite a few that read about them in local paper though.

Site looks okay but need to try and remove impression of diy, may be worth speaking to Mark 'Fosters' Roberts

It's better now the flash front page is gone.

More 'sell' on the first page, and definitely needs a land line number.
It does look like an 'inside' page rather than an introduction.
Disagree with The Commander ( is that allowed  :P ), at least you have a picture of yourself on there, it doesn''t matter what the Award is for or from.

My web pages are poo too, will get around to changing them soon.

Who is the bloke on the left in the AS pictures?

I can't claim to be an expert in these matters but I think people looking for carpet cleaners through their websites are looking for reassurance that the company they might be about to engage to do some work for them is a professional outfit worthy of their trust, whereas a lot of carpet cleaners make the mistake of using their website to tell people what they think they want to hear because it is important to them, but is not necessarily important to the prospective customers.

Having said all of that, now you can all rip into our website: www.gerrardscarpetcleaners.co.uk

Hi guys

Well I think the future in any web site design is that it has to have some kind of action in the site, ie: movie, it has to be more visual,  that’s why we have come up with our web site which customer can see for themselves how is done. And I think that will sell for itself.
Our web site is still under construction, there will be more movie in there in next few weeks.
