Website Critique- just starting out

[hyper1pua]

Hi everybody,

I am just starting out. I put together a simple site and logo. I am doing it in my spare time which I don't have a whole lot of. I am open to any and all constructive criticism and ideas. I've noticed that most sites don't list a price, what would be some of the pros and cons of listing the price? The price I offer is very competitive from my research.

thanks,
John

Pricing

The decision to list prices on your website comes down to a simple question about your business. Are you going after the cheapest possible customer and can beat your competition on price? Or are you going after higher quality clients?

What I've found is that clients looking for quality services aren't as interested in price as they are in what they benefit from using your services. I've had clients willing to pay $250/hour just to be sure that their technology needs were handled by professionals. These types of client are going to call you whether price is listed or not.

Price shoppers will not call if your price is not listed, but they also won't call if you don't have the lowest price. Once they hit your website they will then jump around to 4-5 other websites looking for prices that beat yours and if you can't beat 'em you'll lose. If you're going to list prices make SURE you're the lowest in town.

I didn't think about that. You are right. Thanks.

The information seems good, concise, just what you need, but I would avoid directing people to other pages on your website to get information you could easily just put there. I would get annoyed quickly if I had to click to another page to see your hours of operation or see your phone number. You can certainly have those pages dedicated to that information, but when your website is small enough that it can all fit on one page, I would consider doing so. Just avoid clutter. If you can't find the space for the information, don't mention it - the links at the top of the page should be sufficient to direct people's attention.

To be honest, I would probably skip the home text once I got the info I needed: where you are based out of and your phone number. So make those the main priority.

Then again, I'm definitely a novice and you should take everything I say with a grain of salt.

On the homepage I tried to tell them why they should do business with my company and not somebody else, how they contact us and that we are a legitimate business (certified, insured, licensed based on customer feedback). At this point I think if I put anything else on the homepage it’s going to start looking cluttered.
I agree that more pages are not better but they are just to provide extra information in case they want it, they don’t even need to click on those to get started, the homepage provides all the most important information.
