looks good. Nice and clean. Good color scheme too.

I would say its a bit small though. The font is a bit small, but overall I think the window could be expanded to maybe 50% wider (25% on each side).

I also noticed that when you click on a link and begin to load the new page there is a strange line that scrolls the screen as it loads. Kind of hard to explain. Might be a strange error in the coding or maybe its just my comp...

Overall though, it looks good. Did you code it yourself?

I didn't notice any line upon page loads as the above poster experienced, though I do know of problems like that, it could be browser, monitor, or an incorrect setting. I didn't see it on mine so I wouldn't worry about it, it's not a site problem. I do agree that the font could be a point larger and the center window could be a little wider. I love the teal/turquoise colors, it's very easy on the eyes, no clutter, very attractive. From experience in customer service I would suggest adding on your contact page that e-mails and phone messages will be returned within 3 business days. Most customers are sensible, but some go into a panic if they don't hear back the same day. It would just cover your butt. I also noticed on your exterior section that you name the polisher manufacturers, many customers wouldn't understand the rotary/orbital or brand difference. By naming your tools, you might be asking for a headache if someone wanted you to explain why you use different tools. I would replace your Paragon detail service with a sentence or two, that you can do show car prep upon request and at additional costs. I think the majority of people will immediately figure the cost of 50 hours at $50 an hour and turn away from a $2500 service. Those are just my opinions, by all means, do what your happy with. Other than that, its a very attractive and professional looking site.

very good color scheme, lighting, pictures, and information. I'll PM you my only idea

....I like the layout but my first thought was the same as Heath's. ....lettering, etc. is too small.

d00t · 10-02-09, 08:51

I don't know who Heath is?

But with Billions of websites, there will always be some sort of similarity

Small typo on Services page. The Porter Cable 7424 is a DA not a rotary, right?

....member name "dheath" (the first one to response to your thread).

^^^^ In this remark I was agreeing with his point regarding the scale of your page (not "similarities" to some other site). Overall, it's too small (the lettering, etc.).

i think the site looks rather well . . . . . it's simple and to the point. Not to much extra to add confusion going on like some other sites.

Who made it . . . . you? What did you use if you don't mind me asking.

Looks awesome! Im jealous!

d00t · 10-02-09, 10:31

I had a good friend of mine make it for me. He used to do it professionally, now does it as a hobby.

I made the layout myself in photoshop, and then he coded it all.

Thanks for catching that!
