Hi Everybody

I am in the process of building a website for another carpet cleaning company and would like your views on the design.

It is a rebuild of my one of my own sites from the ground up, making xhtml 1.0 strict and css compliant

Anyway here it is.....

Cheers Goron

It is the design and layout i am talking about. Will not costruct the complete site until i am happy with the layout as it is easier to alter one page than all of them.

Steve it is standard filler script that you will find on most sites in the design stage!

Just shows how much I know about web design  ;D   seriously though the front page layout looks fine to me, like the background too.

Yes, Kev did the Reigate site for me, very pleased, number 1 on page 1 within 3 weeks of it being optimised.

What is the turn around for a site ie from the date of order to the site to be up and ready just asking as it might help :)

About a week to get the basic setup like i have done and then it is easy basically setting up each new page from the main one and just changing the content and few few coding bits. If all the content was ready to be inserted into the site about 1 1/2 weeks.

Steve

Thanks mate the background took a bit of doing, knew what i wanted to do but had never done it before so was a bit of a learning curve, it may look simple but it isn't.

Like it just a matter of putting the correct wording together to get the client to buy, what's fascinated me is that you have a Nemesis logo? I thought you used M power?

Looks very good Goron.

I had a look at your webdesign site.

What shopping carts do you use?

The shopping cart is basically a series of coded links that take you to a secure payment processor hosted by a company called patasys the process card payments.

Patrasys.com


Shaun remember this is not my site it is my clients it is what he uses!

You mean the light blue bit?

It is to show that it is that page that is active all the pages will have that when they are active!

The idea behind prices was to hopefully cut down on the priceshoppers,still get the occasional would you like to clean my 5ft x 4ft porch for £10 ;D

Sites all home made.

Roy your site is great do you get much from it? the prices IMO are affordable (NOT CHEAP) okay I know I may charge more but the point I'm making is that you are selling your quality and using your site as a booking line, very good.
