Jake,
Your old site:
Good:
-provides all necessary information to clients
-shows previous work
-has a few hot-to articles
Bad: (just being honest haha please take it in a constructive criticism kind of way)
-photo of the Porsche on front looks horrible to me as it reminds me of some neon night club, not a detailing website
-font sizes are all over the place and poorly organized
-images in gallery are too large and too much scrolling is required for people who simply want to take a peek at your work (as opposed to those who enjoy long write ups and want to read like that, in which way it's very nice)
New site looks very good and I think has potential to be a great site, but I really hate flash sites for the most part, so can't say much good or bad on it. The layout is pretty good, except you might want to make it a bit larger overall, sound are fairly annoying if I'm going to browse the site for a while, and as was stated in the other thread, the Mazda model has to go.
Thanks, calendar helps a lot when pointing people to the website and telling them to pick an available date.
Your site..
Good:
-clean looking
-services are described well and easy to read
-informative page is very, well, informative haha
-testimonials page has a nice layout (same as mine haha)
Bad:
-logo/name is too large on top and could be MUCH smaller to still get the same sense of importance on the site
-I would lose the counter at the bottom as anyone can refresh the page to make it go up
-some of the things don't go along with the design of the page and look too plain, for lack of a better word (for example, on the 'about' page, the white rectangle with info about
Meg's can be black, with white text and a gray border, or something similar... same with the red 'call for appt' box at the bottom... doesn't flow)
-gallery could be greatly improved by showing some before photos... maybe a half and half instead of a full 'shine shot'
