Look at other cc's sites and base your site on the best out there. (Bearing in mind copyright)  ;)

The kind of site I like personally, nice and simple, no flashing this and framed that.
A couple of before and after pictures and a couple of customer testimonials?

Nice of Mr Straker to model for you.  ;) ;D

Hi Goran.

"Carpet And upholstery Cleaners" needs a capital U.

Need bags more info' & pictures but not OTT and as already said keep it simple.

Thanks everybody.

Like i said it is still under construction but am going to try to keep  it as simple as pos. Still not 100% sure what to put on it yet though.

The picture is a little slow but the original file was massive and i have reduced it's quality as much as i can to make it load quicker, any less and its size starts increasing again for some reason.

glad you like the picture my sister in law helped me with it and then a friend re drew it to get the better quality. he's my company logo pretty good i thought.(my last name is Knight that's where the idea came from.)

keep the feed back coming.

By the way i got free hosting from a company called heart internet and the domain name carpetknights.co.uk was £6 just incase anybody else is building a site.

paul you site looks good loads of info.

Do you have to do anything to be able to put the copyright at the bottom or can you just put it there?

Just a word of warning...
Google will penalise your site if you copy text content.
On the other hand, it will reward you for unique and original content.

Goron,

I didnt realise it was there ;D It must be something in the software that automatically puts it there, To get around the problem highlighted by Mark you could always tweak things a little to keep it unique.

Could you make the knight smaller as have to scroll to the right to read words!

A picture of your van/setup would be better than the machine.

Take out the word wet and replace with damp (not practical to be wet)

Do you have a LM system? Worth putting in under commercial as TM’S cant get everywhere (and before any one jumps I have one TM that is)

A few before and after pictures would be nice say in another section. (use your own and not from any other site as we have all seen the before :()

Hope this helps

Agree with Len
I would shrink the man down to the same size as the knight text logo in height , then put him to the right side of the knight text logo. That would leave a nice space under for text. Maybe move the buttons down a bit too. Keep it the same on each page. (except pics)

Had a look at you site (very nice) also have to scroll right to see picture, this is not a criticism, my display setting are at 800X600 do I need to change them?
