I like it. Simple yet effective. The image on the homepage seems stetched. It's probably my resolution. An e-mail address on the contact page if possible. I dont have any gripes about it.

Robb, The home page picture doesn't sell "Detailing". It is stretched and too far away to show how nice the car looks. Also you have some misspelled words. "molding" not "moulding" You have lower case "i" when you should use "I" to refer to yourself.
The pictures on your "About Us" page are better than the one on the home page. However, they appear out of proportion. Your contact page gives your exact home address. That might not be a good idea. Your phone number and email address would be enough to contact you. If that is a business address show the business name. Also, don't look at your site as a done deal. Make changes as you feel you need to inorder to make it sing out to your sell YOU and YOUR talents.Hope this helpful. Good luck with your business. Fred

Clean..center image is not scaled correctly. Need to use original file image..resize to 4"X6" at 72 dpi and re-upload. Not bad..I like it.

I agree with the others above and add the following comments:

*"Moulding" or "molding" are interchangeable. The one with the "u" is the British spelling while the other is more the American spelling.

*"Vacuum" has one "c" in it.

* I would change this sentence, "If you allow me the chance to detail your automobile i will treat it as if it were my own" to something like, "Give me the opportunity to detail your automobile and I will treat it as if it were my own". Its more assertive.

* You need more pics, if even of your own car. People like to see the whole vehicle, not just fancy reflections. Show the car from every angle. You're selling an engine cleaning package so include a pic of your super clean engine.

Yeah, it needs more work but its coming along fine. Some minor refinements and you'll be set.

Same Here. Other than that, it looks pretty good. Just keep it simple like you already have.

Thanks for all the Help

The contact section states "Make your vehicle Look beter than new! " no caps on Look and Better has 2 T's
I agree with more pictures. Add dark colored cars, they always bring out the OH Ahh factor more than light colored cars.
It's a good start though.

Your prices are to cheap. Site is a bit basic, but a great start. Your about page has basically the same info as your home page, maybe spruce it up a bit? Overall a great start!

Are you a mobile detailer or will people have to come to you? I honestly couldn't tell from reading your site. I am assuming you are mobile: if so tell us and give a range of service (sort of like delivery areas for pizza). If you are stationary, an address would be nice. Either way, using MAPS would help people find you or vice versa.

Robb, i would never say that I am always trying out new products. No customer wants their veicle to be used as a test vehicle. I would much rather hear you say I use the absolute best products available to the detailing industry

Hey Rob,

Your site is simple and clean and that is really the way to go. When I did my site over I had all kinds of things going on plus tons of colors but found that it distracted from what my site is all about.....my passion for detailing. I wanted to get across I am a professional auto detailer and not a techno-disco

I agree with the others that you need more pictures. The pictures though do not need to be of the whole car. Take some shots of a hood emblem, wheel and tire and some angle shots.

You can get an idea of what I am talking about by looking at my site if you like. www.ultimatereflections.net

Good Luck,
Anthony
