Please critique my website

[Frick]

I am somewhat new to these forums, and recently put up a website that I would love any feedback on. I have a few things I have in mind to change and update but want to see what others think before I do any new work.

I love constructive cirticism and have think skin so dont worry about hurting my feelings.

Thanks in advance!

Hi there. I have had a quick look at your site, will comment quickly now, but will fill the rest in the morning if thats ok.

All the site has too much white space, fill it out somewhat.

Logo and phone number - They both need to be a lot larger than they are.

The title bar, which is black with white lettering, the lettering seems to be a tad blurry. Not sure if its my eyes though. The colour scheme does not match with the rest of the page. The whole page, doesn't seem to flow for me.

What makes you so different from all the other techs in your area. Personally I don't see a Unique Selling Point anywhere, nothing really stands out. Think of something which makes you stand out from your competition. Mine is that we document all work we do for the client. This means the client develops a profile and has a bespoke service tailored to their needs. It may sound stupid, but it makes me different from the rest.

The logo size is larger than the main evening / weekend thing. Ie, it creeps into the other.

I have also had a quick look at your keywords. I am not a SEO prof by any means, but have you had a look at google keywords, to see exactly what is good for your business. Rather than simply putting in the areas you cover.

I would like to see some dynamic visuals. The page looks nice, but is very static. Did you hard code this yourself? Doesn't look like too much of a generic generated template/mark-up.

One thing I would do is replace the images that contain text, with actual text from code so they can be read by spiders/se bots.

If you change the header when navigation items are clicked, I think it would give it a better non-static feel. Try adding your Company name in with the header as well if possible. Just some thoughts in my perspective.

Thanks for the opinions and info! Obviously I am not a web guy, and am just learning about SEO. I did create the site using static flat files as I dont currently have the time or motivation to learn all the ins and outs of web development. Its funny as I can do penetration and security testing on websites, HTTP calls and functions, but I cant code something like ajax...

I have been debating fixing the issues with the current site, or start from scratch using something like wordpress.

If it was me, I would definately opt for a wordpress theme.

I agree with everyone else and it seems like you need some of your personality in it.

Word Press is great!

I am now in the process of building a wordpress site....I will give an update once I have something to show!

...and a few days later my new wordpress site is up! Take a peek and let me know what I need to tweak (or rip apart )

I really appreciate the comments that were given previously, thanks

Looking good there now my friend.

Only thing I would say, is there is no mention of repairing laptops (which I have found the majority of my clients now use), so if you repair them, highlight that fact.

If you could make your logo larger, then do it. But this is a huge increase compared to your original site. Well done

Great improvement so far!
