Starting Soon

[jamesbhp]

I will probably let my current employer know soon, that I will be switching over to part time; so I can go live with my home-based business. Hopefully I can start looking for clients by mid April or beginning of May.

I am currently transferring my domain over to a new host, but would like to get some opinions and suggestions to see if I left anything out. So I'll post the temporary address, while I wait for the DNS to resolve. http://ascension.globat.com/~computek-solutions.com/

I will probably add certification logos, affiliation logos, and some reseller logos to the site. I just need a web presence for the time being so I went with something simple.

Any comments and suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

Very nice. this is the design I love. Simple, clean and easy to navigate.

A lot of ppl get distracted with a lot of content and get lost on the point of the site. Focus on the services and who you are, make that stand out.

Some certs and logo like that is cool make it little more flavorful. Other then that I think its a great site.

you can check mine out its at www.ptrcomputers.com

its take a min to load because I run it locally here on my own server but I plan to upgrade it somehow for better bandwidth.

I like your design, can you possible share the Web Template with me??

I like the site. Very clean and simple. Did you make the logo/header yourself or have someone else do it, I have to ask because I consider myself artistically retarded and can never think of cool designs.

mh348..you can get that template on monstertemplates for like $60+


Jamesbhp....Here are my suggestions:

Not sure what the below means. Call you for an evalutaion of what? If I have a virus I call you for an evaluation? I would put a little more info on that one.
"Call us at 201.451.4957 or fill out the form @ Free Evaluation for a free evaluation"

No Image tags in site
No Site map in site

The Client List is wierd. Not sure I get *Listed by industry..
So for "Truck Repairs"..That means you have worked on computers
for people that do truck repairs? Kind of different....

Partners - coming soon? Don't care for the coming soon thing.
If you know you want that page then put something on it.

Remote- Same thing.

Contact Us- I would use a contact form for a few reasons. First is if I am
at work using Outlook and I want to email you I have to cut and paste your
email address into my mail program because I do not want to e-mail you from
my companies e-mail address. Much easier for people to fill out a contact
form and click on submit.

You have nothing in these tags:
<meta name="description" content="description goes here" />
<meta name="keywords" content="keywords,goes,here" />

Overall I do like how clean it is...Might want to add a few more images
in order to do some image tags.

I am going to have to give a high five for Mr. Nova. I agree with all the suggestions, I'm surprised you went that much into it to even notice the meta tags. I should have you critic my site, lol

focuz: I went with Logo Design Guru, for the design of my company logo.

By evaluation, I meant an estimated quote. Or some quick advice if you provide me with the technical situation or scenario proposal. I will look into wording it differently.

When you say no image tags on my site, are you talking about "alt=?". On another note, not sure if you are aware: http://www.cmonova.com/sitemap.htm, some of those links are pointing to your local hard drive.

I wanted to emphasize the type of clients I have serviced, without outright listing the companies' name; so I chose to list them by what industry they belong to. I will definitely revise some of those to be worded better. For instance, Truck Repairs will probably be listed as Automotive Repairs, or something similar. 90% of the clients I have serviced or am servicing have been commercial. When I posted truck repairs, I meant trucking companies and repair service shops.

I will remove "coming soon," shortly.

Great idea and suggestion. Doing as much work as I do on exchange and outlook, I completely forgot about the users not sending from their work addresses. A lot of these hospitals and retirement homes don't have external email privileges setup for the workers. Definitely thanks for the reminder.

I will work on the meta tags today and add some images soon enough. Thank you for the critique and helpful suggestions.

I like you site also, but a few things i noticed... the Support and the FAQ links at the top of you content section do not work!

Additionally... was Jeremy a contractor in Iraq or a soldier? US Army 25U Primary, 25B secondary here!

I was a soldier, 25l with 25u secondary.

btw. yeah it was a template I bought from online for 60$.
I don't have time to design my own right now because I am busy with other business stuff and I wanted to get a site presence up so I went with it.

http://www.ptrcomputers.com/metal/ this is one I am designing myself that I will have setup for my company sometime.

yes I meant "alt" tags.
And "yes" i'm aware my site got messed up. Actually gave the responsibility of my new hire to make some changes and of course our site is the one she screwed up.. I think it's fixed now.
