Website Advice/Help

[clevernerd]

Morning all,

I have been working on my website on and off the past week or so but haven't had a tremendous amount of time to put into it right now.

So what I have so far I would like some feedback on before I go forward with anything else to it. I want to make sure I am going in the right direction before I put countless hours into it to just find out that I did it completely wrong. I am looking to "go live" with my business and website the last week in June or first week in July so this gives me some time to work on it.

Give me any and all feedback.

Thank you.

The flash thing is really distracting. As a customer i would like to be able to just see your info all at once, and not have it float to me, and in chunks. I like the theme and the style you have going on, one thing i would maybe do is have the background show on the sides of the webpage.

I changed the flash part to just a basic slider.

Do you think that is any better or should I just loose it totally?

Nice!

Hello CleverNerd,

Your website looks great to me. I have just one suggestion. The slider is nice, but the text needs to change from questions to solutions in the readers mind.

For example, instead of "Blue screen? Random restarts? Can't get any work done?", put in "We can get your computer running right fast!" or something along those lines.

If I am a potential customer, I want to know you are the guy to call. Sell me your services, baby!

Personally I don't like the big slideshows like you have. You have to scroll down before you can even see what services you are offereing. In addition to that the LCD screen looks odd as it is not to scale.

I would suggest reading through the Advertising and Marketing forum and soak up all the advice that has already been given.

I would also move the contact number to the top of the page, it should be the first thing you see other than logo.

Otherwise I think your heading in the right direction.

I love your logo pic and the personalised phone number. Both very cool.

I can see where you're going with the site, and so far so good.

My 5c would be to have a revisit of some of the slider items - some look good and others have a bit of a rushed look to them (maybe they are just placeholders at this stage?)

- the stretched laptop screen with the blue text on it
- the blue-screen

The pic of the HS is a nice piece of stock photography but needs some text

One of my pet peeves here is people putting incomplete sites up for critique. You wouldnt trust a review of half a movie, half a book or half a meal, so why half a website?

(that was a rhetorical question)

Anyhoo, good work so far.
