I just gave birth to a website.

[CompuMedics PC Repair]

I just spent the last 48 or so hours, non-consecutively , making this website, and just like people with ugly babies, I am afraid to take it out in public. I spent a ton of time on it, and I know that I like it, but I am not my client.

I need you guys to be that person that tells people their baby is terribly ugly, and be specific.

Right now I am concerned with the header image, what items should I put there? Should I jazz up my logo?

My services page is long and boring, but I like that I describe the services, how do I fix this? what is the right amount of length? and should I sacrifice descriptions to achieve it.

I love the DataTables though, its a table you can search, AWESOME!!!!11ONE

So hit me with it, my baby is on the playground, do your worst.

Crap I just read this.

I just found this

http://www.technibble.com/turbo-charge-your-computer-repair-websites-sales-potential/

and my site violates just about every rule set forth in that article. I will work on it tomorrow, in the mean time have fun.

Oops ... sorry about that!

I dont know that I intended them as "Rules", as such... more like guidelines, maybe. Anyway, hope they are helpful and look fwd to seeing your revisions

The site is pretty good to start with though. Esp after 48 hours...

Every one of your guidelines made sense, after I put myself in the shoes of my potential clients.

What do I want?
How much is it?
How do I get it?

The sense of urgency, my page gets views, but not conversions. There is no sence of urgency on my site.

I am going to work on it today, but I have a couple of laptops to fix first.

Thank you, 16k_zx81.

I love it, is it a WP theme?

 

[CompuMedics PC Repair]

QualiFire

Yes, I love WP, and the theme is called QualiFire

Kevin,

How easy was QualiFire to work with? I am contemplating using one of Themeforest's WP templates?

Forgot to mention, love the site.

I like it! I find it easy to find all the information a prospect would want to see.

Looks good, very easy to navigate. I would add a couple of images to the services page to break up the text.

Good luck.

QualiFire was pretty easy to work with, I tried the banner images, but when I would upload them and try to use them, a little red X would appear like it couldn't find the image, something to do with having the image the right size, but I was using inkscape, I just got sick of it. I went with no banner image, because then you can use the H2 tags which is great for SEO, plus the banner image was too big in my opinion.

Other than that if you are comfortable customising your PHPs and CSS, it is great to work with.

I like to look of it too, my other theme was just too dark and void of any images, since I put up this theme, my bounce rate has gone way down in Google Analytics.

I think I am going to get rid of the services section, and then when people click on the"lets talk" buttons for each category (Desktop, Laptop, iPhone, Etc.) it will take them to a dedicated page with the various services, and details, I am playing around with ideas.

I really like your site... The front page give people a quick run down about what you do, and visitors don't have to go searching to see if you can fix their problem.

I think the Services page could be broken up a bit with some pictures, but I thought it was really simple to read either way

I did notice a minor typo.. "Transfer From" on the form page
