Diggin you site layout Ivan...sleek and modern! I like it!



Dont really care for the calender though...makes it seem like you are not in demand! When people call me and I tell them I am booked, I hear it in their voice - damn I have to wait, and damn he must be pretty good to be booked all week long.



Just my thoughts on having a calender listing on a website!

Thanks for the compliments bud!



I do this only weekends and am pretty busy every weekend plus many clients say it's very convenient when deciding when to schedule.



I do understand where you're coming from though

Site looks nice but you should use actual thumbnails for your photo gallery instead of resizing your pictures with html attributes.



If you care about search engine optimization you need to put alt tags on your navigation links. Having them as images is going to hurt it. (Same for services page)



I would put Chicago in the body text (especially the homepage) to help with search engine as well. I didn't notice it in the title at first so wasn't sure where you were located.



I would move the testimonials form below the actual testimonials. If I'm looking at that page it is probably to see testimonials and not to submit them.



********** validation on the form submittals would be more user friendly.
 
I love the fact that you add the time it took under every detail. The first thing I wonder about when I see a great detail job is how long it took them. It seems that most people (at least where I live) expect something like this to take 2 hours. Informing them that it took 6 (or however long) lets them know they get what they pay for.
 
Maksimum -



I would kick off the quick links section on the right of the home page...serves no purpose as you have drop down menus under the tabs already, plus it doesnt flow at all with the site.



also, with the pricing page, I would give a little more info! "2dr sedan 90-200" what is involved with what price???



i would also remove the "fully" wording in your site...sounds juvenile! "100%" works a lot better, as does "completely"



do mine do mine!!!! LOL

agreed!!! I am incorporating the time on my site as well!!! lets people know you are not the "2 hour COMPLETE DETAIL" type
 
Alright toyotaguy...



First, I will be gracing your presence in the near future around Newport Beach...arent you excited!?! haha, no, but for real:



Your link from your autopia name needs to be changed...tried clicking it, didnt work, so google was my next option.



**Your menu bar is really small...make your menu options bigger. ie. Home, Why Detail, Services ect.

** Love the showcase on the left...would it be possible for the customer to click on the showcase picture, then be directed to that gallery?? Just a thought...

** I like your "all steps" idea...but in my eyes your saying" hey heres how you do it, give it a try." Maybe, instead of all the steps, give them the first couple, like how to PROPERLY wash a car...because thats what people will be doing after they have their car detailed.



Above were just some things that I was thinking of while i browsed over the site! I like it alot! Clean, not to flashy, not cluttered...well done!
