Website and Business Card Critique

[KC Tech Company]

Hey guys. Been lurking the forums for a bit and created an account a few months ago, but just now making my first actual thread.

Was wondering if any of you would mind taking a look at my current online presence and providing constructive criticism. I tried to keep the website site clean and minimalistic. I really view it as a business validation piece moreso than a means of client generation itself (as I am not offering remote support for new customers at this time).

Also, here's a preview of my business cards. Already got 500 of them printed on nice stock with a metallic finish, but may alter the design a bit when I run out. Designed them in mind of having customized fronts (title, name, email) for other technicians when the business expands.

For a consumer standpoint, I don't bother with a company if I can't see prices I don't bother getting a quote. Honestly, I'm very price-oriented. Black on gray for anything written is very blah to me, as well.

I am not really crazy about the colors. I feel it would be tough on the eyes. Especially the white on gray.

I agree with what the others have said as well. Also, your website has different color schemes that don't quite match your proposed business cards. When I clicked residential it was a beige theme. Once you settle on your company colors I would definitely use the same scheme throughout all your marketing products.

If the grey is metallic that might look nice. Have a real picture? I know the website is under development but you have pictures with Apple equipment so you can expect some calls from Apple customers. And I agree about pricing. Need to have something in there to give potential customers a ball park idea.

Also "Professionally Certified, Licensed, and Insured" some customers may ask about them.

Personally don't like the colour scheme for either the business card or the website but thats subjective.

The colours however do make things difficult to read.

Your website is functioning like a mobile site on a desktop machine which isn't good.

The site is too basic, doesn't really say enough about what you do and the article page which is the best part comes across like its separate to the website when really it should all be integrated.

Thanks for the criticisms everyone. Been super busy with the FTJ, some tickets and following up leads, and wedding planning. Will be putting more time into developing the company image soon.

The business cards were printed well before making this thread and look quite nice in person (again, they are printed on thick card stock which darkened the color; and the 'white sections' are actually metallic). I can post a real picture, but it doesn't quite do them justice.

I am working on making the site more responsive, but it is intentionally designed to be very straight-forward and kind of feel like an app. Simple and clean navigation leads to more client conversion in my experience. I know I've visited plenty of my competitor's sites and get lost just looking for basic information on their 50+ page website.

I have gone back and forth on listing pricing online, but ultimately decided on leaving that out. Not interested in a race to the bottom and lots of tickets do not fit standard pricing structures. I may revisit this when I begin an advertising campaign and ramping-up more in the future. Thoughts on this either way would be appreciated.

Lastly, the comment about the image of a Mac is intentional. I can support PCs, Macs, and server environments, on top of mobile devices (I do possess a CCNA and have plenty of experience with FreeBSD, various Linux distros, legacy systems, etc.).

Also I would try to find a way to make your phone number and contact info more prominent, somewhere in the header might be best. Also, being more descriptive with your services might help for SEO, thought you said you aren't really concerned with using the website to get new customers...still, it wouldn't hurt would it?
