Very impressive! I like the intro! Let us know if it brings in more business. What is the cost to set up a site like this, and whi did you have do it?
I had to so it beacuse i am about te be launching a pre-winter marketing camapign, and alot of it is web driven, it cost me alot of my labor effort, $10 per month for hosting, and $50 for purchase of some templates.
Whoa. After looking at them prices the few customers I have are getting a deal! Then again, they are friends/relatives of my family, so...I like the site, but the whole half a page thing makes it somewhat cumbersome.
The prices used to be lower, but my own customers advised me to increase them, so i did
. I am going to tweak the layout a little after some of the feedback i have recieved. And as for the hiring thing, i will keep that in mind, i am currently looking for a building in buffalo, and i will need to have some staff and management. I will let you know, what is your UBRF user name??
Lots of dancing baloney and tunes. That'll choke a 56K connection.
Three off the subject questions:
1 - How did you fix that red MDX's bumper?
2 - What's the glass treatment? $15???
3 - What's your 1, 2 and 3 step waxes?
The site looked nice but I've got cable modem.
I am currently developing the 56k safe version, so it will all work out, The mdx bumper was a little bit of 3m compound by hand, and some menzerna intensive and final polish, the whole thing was finished off with #7 and s100 I believe.
The glass treatment is that i clay, polish and rain-x the glass. I am working on getting in a nice supply of aquapel, it will then include that instead of rain-x.
The 1 2 and 3 step is just an estimate of how many times i have to go over the car, IE: 1 step = just wax, 2step = glaze and wax, 3 step = polish glaze and wax (that costs more because polishing takes more than one trip around sometimes)
Well First things first.
Get rid of the frames!!! I know that you can use frames, but it really doesn't look very good/professional.
Second thing is that you have to take into account all the people out there who run their desktops at a higher resolution than 800 x 600. At my 1280x1024, there's an aweful lot of empty white space. And empty white space isn't good.
Other than those two minor things, the site looks great. Might wanna change the font on the services page (kinda kills the whole clean lines look you got going there) and keep all the pages the same color.
Mkay... I'm done..
Ok, i was using the frames, just because it was simpler for me to do
, what i can do is make it no frame, have that fun animation only on the homepage, and create a different nav bar for the rest of the pages?? sound like a good solution?? that would eliminate the frames.
The desktop resolution thing i have taken into account, i have been collecting browser stats on my last site for several months. I run at 1400 x 1050 on my own computer, and i realize that there is alot of white space. What i am thinking about doing is when i implement the detection software for detecting the connection speed on load, i may have it detect the resolution, and correct the pages accordingly. I am not sure of this yet as it will be a very complicated and time consuming task to complete.
All the pages were the same color.... I will have to look at that. And i just did change the font on that page to what someone else recomended... guess i cant get it right :wall anyhow i will try again, what font do you suggest, it is a sans-serif as of right now but alas i will try again
.
Thanks for all of the feeback from everyone!!! I really appreciate it, more than you could even know. If there is anything i can ever do for any of you, Just give me a shout
Thanks again
