Please critique site/packages

I just put my new site up live (click username-->homepage) and wanted to get some input. I know that there are 2 buttons on the tool bar that do not work and a couple areas that need to be finished, this is just a preliminary evaluation. I built the entire thing myself, including the logo and all the graphics. Thanks guys!

I really hate having to scroll to the right to see the entire page. Make the car smaller as well. You're main page doesn't have information, just links, so you should be able to fit it in without scrolling. IMO, Everything is put together well, just need to work on the size.

It looks nice, but as mentioned, the main page is way big, I had to scroll over to see anything and you might try mixing in some different colors, way too much black and gold.....maybe a bright red Ferrari on the front page would help break that up?

Your prices are very low for one...

For doing it yourself, I think you did a great job though...

I agree with what everone has stated so far, but looks great.

Just some minor tweaking and you should be all set.

Creating a website is hard work and very time consuming!

Great site.

Two things to note. The first thing is that once you enter the gallery to view the pictures, you do not have a link taking you back out to the home page.

The second note is with your packages. The elegant package and the concours package differ, I assume, by paint correction. In the case of the elegant package you may want to change the hand polish to machine polish, mostly because its save you time. When you are detailing cars sometimes you have to do what is the most efficent for your time. No sense in charging less for a service that is going to take up more of your time. That is my $0.02.

The first thing is get rid of those low res pics. If your going to use generic gallery pics get high res ones at least. Those are all pixaly and really don't show the quality your trying to convey. I think it's a solid start. The layout might need some tweaking. and of course the size thing.

I'm not sure why anyone on here is talking about your packaging and pricing.. Seems a little childish to me. You asked for critique on the actual website alone not the content on how you want to offer your services. I hate it when people can't read. reminds me of the presidential debates where you can ask a very direct question and then they decide to go off on their own little tandum about anything but your question.

Ummm, the title of the thread is critique site/packages

Jakerooni · 01-16-08, 08:47

I stand corrected. I just read the posting not the title. Carry on with blasting his choices in pricing and offerings away then. Hopefully he won't take it all too hard. afterall he did ask for it.

No problem!!!

Nice job... like anything else it will take a little more and refinement ..(believe me it is never ending, just when you think you are done you end up adding something else).

View your site in Firefox.... the homepage some of the links shift to the left and bunch together. I know it is minor, but about 20-30% of web browsers are using firefox over IE.

Adding content with keyword phrases will help the search engines index your website so it will appear when someone does a search. Make sure you have page titles as well.
