    Very well done. Crisp and clean, very professional.

    You`ve inserted just enough info to draw in the customer and not overloading them with shop talk.

    It adds credibility to you and your trade.

    i would slow down the animation on the opening page.. it took me a few passes to read the whole thing.. maybe 5 seconds a slide...
    "One day you will have to stop being a Muppet...So take the hand out of yer butt and walk for yourself."

    Claying does not mean "High end". It means quality/caring. So would actually learning a trade instead of "Hey I can wash and wax a car, so I`ma gonna be a detailer."

    Nice!! Clean design and readable text. No gray text on black background. Good amount of detail. Did you use a pre-defined template for this, or start from a blank page?

    Only thought is perhaps a "compare the services" fly-out chart listing all the steps down the side, and service levels across the top. Might help the ADD among us quickly see what the differences between packages is.

    I wouldn`t change your current page, though. Really, really nice.

    Your level 1 service is not your everyday wash and wax service ! You do not seem to be looking for car wash clients.

    Started with a template, so I am kinda stuck in what the template will allow me to do. I`m trying to see if I can do a side by side.

    No, I am not looking for Car Wash Clients. Please refer to my back and forth in the "Does anyone care about quality anymore" thread

    Very nice.

    It loaded very slow for me though. If I were a potential customer, I might not have waited for it. I`m on a not so great computer right now so that might be why.

    Your price for your basic service seems a bit high if you are looking for people willing to spend a little more than the usual car wash places. I think you need something in the $50 range but maybe that is what it is in your location.

    The web site is tad slow like Troy said but did not seem too slow. In Firefox, the mouseovers under the services pull down do not work for me but ok in Opera.

    The web site looks nice and clear -- not too many words.

    One other thing I forgot to mention which to me is very important. You need to get it seo optimized if you want people searching to find it. Right now you have no head tag or description for search engines to use. Keywords need to be purposely added.

    Mine mainly is optimized for people who search for "mobile auto detailing in Sarasota". I also have optimized it further to show up well on searches in my other service areas.

    I like it also but offer some suggestions.........as mentioned the site is very slow to load and the animation changes to the next scene too quickly. Briefly going through I noticed a typo in your disclaimer:

    *please note: all prices are based on exact size and condition of vehicle. final price will be given before work is started unless otherwise started.

    I think you meant stated.

    Very nice overall, clean & precise.

    Armsrtong is right. I`m like you guys, self teaching on web design. Just simple kewords used properly will get your sight up above others on searches.
    There is some good info on the net on using Google Adsense in finding good keywords to use, which you can place in your descriptions or services geting people to your site.
    People are lazy and don`t want to look through pages of search content to find you. Nice site.
