My website.......

Saw that someone else had put theirs out there so I though I would get some feedback on mine as well!!

I am doing it through Yahoo Small Business and it's pretty easy to keep up with. Nothing fancy.....but, so far, I like it!

Re: My website.......

It looks good. The gallery could be organized by vehicle. Maybe re-size the larger images to 800x600 or so to help those with a slower connection.

Re: My website.......

Very good start... here are my comments...

-Obviously some refining of text, background colors, etc. is always possible.
-Gallery is horrible.. you have to organize it into vehicles, then show photos of each vehicle on a different page. Also, the menu bar stretches with the page and it should remain stationary.. organizing the gallery page should fix this though.
-Contact and services page should have similar photos to the other pages instead of whole car photos (even though the Audi isn't whole car)

Refining of text......suggestions? Like change of font? Color of font?

Gallery: I am building this on my own, through Yahoo, and don't really know what I am doing yet. So this is all hit and miss so far. What I want to do is pretty much what your thoughts were. Either the name of the car, with a link, that opens up another page with all the pics....or.....a pic of the car, as a link, that opens up another page to show the pics of the car. Just not sure how to do that yet. After working all day in front of a computer, the last thing I want to do is stare at another one....LOL!!

Contact and services page: Someone else had mention the same thing.....I will try and look for another partial picture of a car I have done.....

Thanks for the comments!!

For text, I simply meant maybe something smaller, easier to read, idk... just mess with it and review like 10 different texts at the same time and see what's best.

As for gallery, you can check mine out and see how it's organized... not saying it's the best but I like it a lot.

Just keep working at it little by little until it's good enough haha, cuz you'll never stop revising it if you keep going always. You have to settle for something eventually.
