[Mark_P]

looking good to me! looks professional and the wording makes you seem very approachable. You have written our staff has been trained may want to change this to "staff have been trained" but i could be wrong. just getting into the business myself any advice for a newbie welcome?

[spindle]

thanks  monkey!!!!!!!!!1

i missed that

[derek west]

excellent web site.
might want to change the word chemicals to cleaning solutions but maybe thats just me being pickie, sorry.
derek

[Jim_77]

Never say the "C" word in front of customers!

Also, "staff has been changed" is technically correct, according to the grammar checker in Word, although agreed it sounds wrong.  Put it in word and see.  The verb has to agree with the subject or something.

originally i checked it with spell checker...........i know that it reads ok......

true the word  chemicals sounds very harsh...will amend it

thanks guys

Hi Spindle

Got my anorak on now (too hot really) but here goes:

Has or have are both correct. "Staff" can be either singular or plural (ie. one or more than one staff) and depending upon which meaning you want will depend upon whether you use "has" or "have".

Secondly (oh my goodness how much longer does this go on), the first line of your home page says

"Sparkle carpets are a local"

Surely as you are only one company it should read "Sparkle carpets is a local...."

Apart from that I really like the layout.

overall a good site, one little thing,

I think the central picture on your homepage lacks impact, it doesn't really have any purpose, I would try and find a better one

[spindle]

Hi Spindle

You need a lot more key words if you want to be found!

Cheers

Mike 

why is it that you havent got a website ?


Neil

[Mike Halliday]

Neil, that's a simple question with a complicated answer but to put it simply, I don't need one.

I could work 12hrs a day 7 days a week if I wanted, all within 3-4 miles of my home,

So I could fanny about with a website  but I'd just get calls from miles away.

 I do believe that the internet is the future and when the future gets here I'll jump in with both feet, but for now I'll let everyone else do the experimenting ( and make the mistakes)

like the look of your site

on your carpet cleaning page it reads We believe that if a job is worth doing it worth doing well. should it read We believe that if a job is worth doing its worth doing well.

i may be wrong as my grammer is not very good

[Robert Watson]

We believe that if a job is worth doing, it`s worth doing well. 
or
We believe that if a job is worth doing, it is worth doing well.

thanks for pointing it out guys............

read it so many times i think i just imagine its there.........

[Gary Webber]

Lots of Home pages contain pics of children. The main idea is to make the potential customer contact you, so show them who they will be doing business with. In the top left hand corner put a picture (head&shoulders) of yourself. Why did Rainbow & ChemDry do it? Shows the client who they are dealing with! Then a few lines underneath stating local honest reliable etc.

Most people are cluttering thie websites with useless info. REMEMBER the potential customer doesnt want to know the ins and outs of what size solution hose you use etc. Keep it brief and good photos, white as posible to be able to read the text.

I would also use bigger text on your contact details (elderly or short sighted)
