website guidance

[hmig89]

Hi guys,

I have this page. been playing around with the theme - Home page needs doing, I may need some assistance. I am just thinking this theme may look over-professional for me. I am Pc technician offering remote support and on site work out of hours. home and small businesses will be the main target. I am just wondering if maybe a different theme would be more suitable or maybe even a wordpress theme at the moment I am using Business catalyst platform and would like to keep using it. If Someone can edit a html and css template for me. I can do the implementation. However I am open to wordpress option as I know it is a great platform. Need opinions.

Work in progress

Thanks
Hugo

Finishing the site would be a good idea, dont you think?

I did a double take - first it looks great - and then realised it had a bunch of crap about 'back problems'

I dont see the point in looking over a site thats not completed, or at least near completion.

Nothing to say, other than that.

Jim

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the feedback, I really did not ask the questions very well lol.'i guess what I was asking was if the template was suitable, I am getting used to it. And I am liking it. Still not finished but I have made some alterations since yesterday.

Just need the correct choice of colours now.

I really like the theme it look great. If you use Wordpress it takes some getting use to but it is fairly straight forward PM me if you need help.

I liked the template.

You should pick your buttons using the prego principal.

If 80% of your income is computer repair then that should be the first, biggest section.

I see you have virus removal. I think we are in the same business (you and I) and of all computer repairs virus removal has traditionally been the largest area but so too now is screen replacement/iphone coming on strong.

I separated Virus removal; Computer Repair and Laptop repair into three streams where others might have them as a single repair stream.

Then too, I have network support, quickbooks support and data recovery as separate income streams.

I might have over done it abit on my east site. I seem to be getting better response from my "west "website which confounds me. As you see I am running my own little test.

What's the prego principle and how does it apply to button choice?

I tried to Google it, but the closest I could come was a warning against pushing a pregnant woman's buttons . . .


And as far as the OP's theme, in general I like it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_principle

Basically says that 80% of your income results from 20% of your offering. It is also known as the 90/10 rule or the 80/20 rule.

I have about 30 services but 6 of them result in 80-90% of my income so I would want to be sure to highlight those 6 services above the other 24.

Put more obscure services like data recovery and rebuilding a database file towards the back of my offering if at all.

Computer repair is a big title maybe to general but I put it first; followed by laptop repair and virus removal. Since I only do about 1/10 of 1 % of my business replacing motherboards there is little incentive to post that equality with virus removal.

Ah, of course. Pareto principle I'm familiar with - Just didn't catch that Prego was a typo. Thanks for the clarification!
