So here we go. I've had my site up for little less than a year now. Would like some good constructive critiques for it. I'm open minded for the most part. Please take into consideration that I service a medium area and it's part-time.

Thanks in advance!

Looks great! Just one tiny detail though.
On the "All Things Tech" slider it says ..."we've got 'your' covered!.."
Only a tiny detail, but spelling errors look rushed and unprofessional.
I blasted my designer for spelling errors on my website. Customers do notice.
I didn't have time to read all the other text.
Just my .02 cents
 
Have you done your seo research? I dunno how things are in canada but in general "computer repair" reigns supreme for residential services. your home page title makes it look like you are hoping someone searches for it solutions but the only other place thats at is at the footer.

That is odd.. I replaced that photo with the correct spelling. The other one must have gotten moved into that again. thanks for noticing that!

@McFarland IT Is that a tech site builder website?
And correct it's Godaddy. I just completely did it from scratch.
 
I'm generally known to pick apart a website - search TN :D - but I just don't have time today to do so. However:

Like the site. Though, as an old school - hand coded - web designer, I do not like templates as to me, you just don't get that personal touch and there's no thought process in the design. At first glance, it reminded me of a used car website - probably because of the car being the first picture - that and the colors - I'm nit picking I know. :rolleyes:

Also, under residential and business services, I don't agree with this:

"Quick Fix Policy: If any issue is resolved on-site, in-shop or remotely in less than 15 minutes, it's free!"

The word free - in relation to actual work, bench time or resolution - should not be in your vocabulary. Unless the client is a long time paying customer OR your guaranteed to make money off a future endeavor (few and far between). I could write an article on why you should never do things for free in this business - but it would all be opinion based, or most of it would be.

Also this: "We do not offer screen or hardware repairs for laptops"

I'm sure there are reasons, but your losing out on potentially quite a bit of serious cash flow for laptop screen replacements, keyboard replacements and track-pad replacements. Their fairly easy to do - most of them and most can be done in an hour once you have experience.

I don't know your demographics, but here where I am, its college based. Surrounded by 2 Universities, 4 colleges and 2 vocational schools. Students break their laptops all the time and just throw credit cards at me to repair them. I know I am getting out the break/fix and going full on MSP, but I will definitely keep this portion of it - included in the 5% break/fix I will keep. :p

As I stated above. I like the site. I will give it more time perhaps this weekend. Good luck to you and I hope your successful and make lots of money. ;)
 
I'm with them ^^^.

Problem: It renders well on Chrome and Edge but cuts off titles in Firefox. It may be a Viewport setting in Bootstrap or in the stylesheet. You should probably set the width in your columns to fit the font or make your #container {container-fluid}. I have a big screen but if you're using BS it should automatically fit....

I agree with this 100% it was something I threw in there but I think I'm second guessing this one now. Thanks for that input.

Oh firefox. what a pain in my ass. I know exactly what the issue is with that. I'll get that corrected. I recently changed up the business/residential as separate pages the other day. didn't have a chance to check it on firefox yet. Thanks!
